Male Female

It's common these days, thanks to technology, for people to give gifts of money to colleagues or friends. These often come in the form of gift cards, like Amazon Pay, or shopping vouchers. I've received many gifts of cash myself. One particular instance stands out, from about seven years ago. My grandfather gave me around 7,000 rupees for my 17th birthday. He had a specific purpose in mind – he wanted me to buy a brand new bicycle, any one I liked. He even accompanied me to the shop. After choosing the perfect bike, I bought it. At that time, I didn't have any income, so the price seemed quite significant to me. I've enjoyed that bike a lot ever since.
