Biography 275: Gifts


 I like to receive gifts. I enjoy giving gifts to others, hoping that it brings them happiness as well. Maybe not.

When I started my job, I spent all of my first month's salary in four days, just by buying gifts for my parents and siblings. I hope they liked it. Maybe not.

As I had expended all my money, I had to take care of my daily expenses from my dad, just as I used to in my student life. My mom told me that Dad didn't like that. As I have started working now, I should have taken my responsibility by myself.

I understood. I never asked my dad for money again. Next time, I asked my mother for a loan when I started preparing to move to Canada. I have returned her money. Tried to send gifts to her and to my siblings whenever I could. I tried to send my mom monthly pocket money.

I hope they liked it. Maybe not. 

But my mom liked it. Though she didn't spend that money on herself. She wanted to save those for me, in the hope that when I visit Bangladesh, she will spend on us.

I also tried to give gifts to others. Friends and families. In most cases, I felt they didn't like my gifts. Maybe not.
