To that someone special

Anuroop Kashyap was a typical software engineer.

He had a belly and lower back pain
He believed most of the forwards he got.
He never carried a pen. Always took notes in his laptop.
He could express his feelings better in a chat window than in words.
He could be reached more quickly on his instant messenger than on his phone.
He usually said "Shutdown the windows" instead of "Close the windows"

et al

He spent his weekdays staring at his laptop screen and his weekends resting. He rarely had time for her. But he did not want the same to happen that day. He wanted to make her feel special. So he made sure that he finished all his work before time just to spend time with her.

He took her to a theme park. He felt happy seeing her go back to her childhood days while she was on the merry go round. He then bought her a pack of spicy mirchi bajji which, he knew, was her favorite snack. After the fun they had there he took her to a nice restaurant for dinner. During the course of the dinner she told Anuroop that she had not had such a nice time in a long while. He then took her hand in his and apologized for not spending quality time with her. He then said

“Whatever I am today, it is all because of you. If not for you I wouldn’t have reached the stage I am in. I remember everything that you did to see me lead a good life. But what did I give you in return? Solitude and seclusion? All this just to earn those few extra bucks? It is not till recently that I realized what I was doing wrong.”

He finally said

“Thank you mom. Thank you for everything. Happy Mother’s Day “

P.S. Amma you are the best. This post is dedicated to my mom.
