Subject: your gifts

Honey,

You have misunderstood me. The gifts you gave are useful to me. You know when I got the shaver, I felt like I have achieved something. Because from the very early days, even when I started to shave, I had a dream of buying an electric shaver. But as I grew up, I put that thought away, saying it is a luxury. But in the back of the mind, I always had the old dream. You will never understand the feeling! I felt so elevated.

And clothes too. I didn't wear it not because I don't like it. I didn't wear it because I didn't want to spoil it. Yes, really. Many times I have taken those clothes out and kept it close to my body. I am sooooo sorry that I made you cry for those things only. You are making me feel guilty. I never thought that you will think about gifts like this. About the pink shirt, the pink shirt I have bought is also in the suitcase! I have never worn it because I like it. I didn't want to spoil that too! Too silly, right?

Your selection is of good taste. Among those clothes you sent, I didn't find anything which I don't like. I like all the shirts and the new design underwears.

Che! I feel too bad. I don't know how to respect a gift and show my admiration!

I have only 24 days left here. Our pots will be of use to other colleagues. I am planning to take one to India. I don't know what will happen to the customs. Anyway, I will try. Now I am eating the preserved Guava you have given me. Hahaha, I don't think I will gift it to anyone. I like to eat it in the office!

I am really feeling guilty about making you cry about the clothes. The main thing is that even if I like the gifts I was not able to convey my feeling...too bad...

Love

Kamal
