Well, life has become busy these days, and I like to always be busy, whether it's my professional or personal life. It happened a couple of months ago. It was my parents' 25th wedding anniversary, and we planned a big surprise party with the whole family, including relatives, without their knowledge. The previous day, I was with my colleagues buying decorations and gifts, also inviting all my relatives to come over for the evening functions. By almost 5 PM, the party was about to start, and I started getting ready for it. My relatives started arriving along with my mother and father. When my parents entered our home, we all cheered, 'Happy anniversary!' They were so surprised, happy, and cheerful. More of our relatives were shocked to see how well everything was handcrafted. We all took some pictures to capture the moment.
