Surprise Busted!!
I donno how many times it has happened to people but with me itz something that is bound to happen.
Whenever I plan to surprise people, it goes down in the dumps somehow and I end up laughing at myself and the situation. :)
This year, I planned a surprise on Mom's birthday and to avoid a mess I bought her gifts from 2 different online gifts services. Guess wat? The flowers and cake was delivered two days before her birthday at our place (Thankfully, she was not home by that time) and I had to literally shoo the delivery guys away before she turned up. :)
Her gifts were bought through another reliable gifts service and well..well... the flights got cancelled due to a strike here and they came in two days after her bday. The surprise got screwed up big time.
Day before, was my best friend's bday and I thought of surprising him with flowers. So I sent flowers to his office address like I did last year... Surprise..Surprise... He was not in town for 2 days starting his bday and even now I donno if he got them ON his bday or after that coz I thought I would suprise him and I kept waiting for his 'Thanks Buddy" call which never came.
Finally, today I gave up and thought of taking the florist to task, so I mailed my friend asking him about the flowers and he said, "yeah! I got them"...lol.. And I kept waiting for his call... My surprises are so bad that even they end up being taken for granted...lol
If this was not enough, I thought of surprising another friend of mine and sent her flowers without my name on it. She thought it was her hubby and though they were at loggerheads, they kissed and made up after that... But..the stupid me... I called her few days later and asked her, "hey! did you get my roses?"... She was like, "It was YOU!!"... ha ha ha...
I am such a failure with surprises...Things just don't seem to fall in place when I want to surprise someone...but I never stop doing that... :)
I always crave for that smile on someonez face that a surprise brings...I love it...and ofcourse, am optimistic that someday my surprises will work too ;)

im so glad to see someone whose surprises are marred too.. not meant in a vindictive way though... :) if your surprise was spoilt wait till you hear mine...
i had gone for an excursion to vizaq, and the day i was supposed to board the train and be back, i told samik that i would be home 2days later and all. he seemed upset and all, after all i wasnt home for almost 10 days and seemed to have missed me. i wanted to surprise him by turning up the next day and then waking him up in the morning. what happened what i got off the train and gave him a call. and he was soundly sleeping that my surprise got spoilt. so much for love and longing.and my my wasn't i angry
samik often complains that i never do anything to surprise him. so one morning in all romantic mood and all... i call him up to wake him up myself. and he picked up after 10 calls or so and told me to get lost and let him sleep! :P

You're absolutely right, never give up on it! People love the love behind your actions even if the timing didn't work out exactly ... or the bloom comes off the surprise. You're great :-)
Best wishes,
Skeeter
Hahahaha sometimes the Surprises get spoiled surprisingly and isnt it a cute surprise to have a caring person who does everything to surprise somebody, no matter whether the surprises work or not...its the cute feeling behind them which works the wonders...ATB for your next surprising wonders Harshita...

Hello, I've just wandered over here from someone else's blog to say hi. I know what you mean about surprises, they usually don't work out right and we are the one surprised! But when they do work, it is all worth the effort.
