Well, it is always nice to receive and send gifts. In today's world, it has become a trend to send and receive gifts to those who are near and dear. I am also a part of this tradition. I normally don't like to receive money as a gift because I knew that my mother would take it back. So today, I will share a recent experience when I actually received money to spend. In Pakistan's culture, when you visit a relative for the first time, they give money as a present. Last year, we went to my father's cousin's house. He used to live in the USA, but after retirement, he came back to Pakistan. When he saw me, he was very excited, and we communicated a lot. But after some time, when we wanted to get back home, my uncle gave me an envelope. I expected it to contain a small amount, but it was $100, so I was completely shocked. At the same time, I was sad too because I knew I would never get to spend it. My mother told me to return it, but my uncle refused to take it back. I knew my mother was going to take it from me, so before she could, I handed it to my grandma for safekeeping.
