The budget, yes would be kept in mind for I am not the very rich kind. but it is flexible. <BR/><BR/>Here, just because it was the tradition, she would have gone to the shopkeeper, and told him to pack the suit pieces worth this cost. She feels it is compulsion! i dont blame her. the sociey tells her for after all we are the sister in laws!chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293611127565847330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26563958.post-1147756321814932922006-05-15T22:12:00.000-07:002006-05-15T22:12:00.000-07:00Enigma : it is a good dea, but alas none from my f...Enigma : it is a good dea, but alas none from my family members have any inclination towards crafts!<BR/>Shruti : I shall read it later.

It is the custom to give a blouse piece, along with coconut and betel leaves, and I had such a huge stack of blouse pieces in my cupboard too, and it was taking up so much space :O.. So I gave them all to my mom-in-law, so that she can give it to people who come home. :)<BR/>I have an old post on the subject of giving gifts - http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com/2006/01/gifting-love.htmlShruthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635222842257175541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26563958.post-1147256998915622632006-05-10T03:29:00.000-07:002006-05-10T03:29:00.000-07:00Aarthi,I truly understand your sentiments and i am...Aarthi,<BR/>I truly understand your sentiments and i am no mean hurting others. Now, actually the thpought that my friends/relatives might stop gifting me after reading this blog frightens me. I actually meant to convey that gifts should be given only if you feel like and not because one has to. It would save a lot of bother.....chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293611127565847330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26563958.post-1147256525099664242006-05-10T03:22:00.000-07:002006-05-10T03:22:00.000-07:00well written but would like to say that not all pe...well written but would like to say that not all people behave like that ..some are genuine enough and do it out of love...poor thing..what can he do if he his tastes dont match ours....!
