I was in South Korea.
Girlfriend: Surprise me with a gift from Korea.
Conditions:
It should be less than Rs 200.
It should be beautiful. Not even me but any girl should love it.
It should be clearly visible that its from Korea.
Ahh, I hate the line : “terms and conditions”. I thought about it for few days and meanwhile lost some sleep as well as few hair.
Some time when you try hard you might not be able to find a solution. But when you give it more time, you get a solution automatically.
It was weekend. I went to a local market. A cute girl was standing beside the road, there was a table in front of her and over that table were few greetings card.
She was damn cute, so I was trying to find an excuse to talk to her (men will be men :P).
Me: Are you selling these cards? ( stupid me, why she will stand there then)
Her: Yes
Me: What’s the price?
Her: Pick any one for 4000 won.
Me: What's the specialty of these cards?
Her: I have prepared it my self.
Me: Whaaaat??? These are more beautiful than you. :P
Her: Thanks for the compliment.
Me: But I have complimented your cards.
Her: I love my work more than me.
Me: I already have a Gf. Please don’t make me fall in love with you :D
Her: hahaa
I told her about my girlfriend’s conditions. Now 4000 won is Rs 228. So she agreed to sell me the card for 3400 won. the first condition was satisfied. Card was damn beautiful. It had nice border and cuttings. If you open that card, a couple holding each other will stand on it, kinda a 3D card. So second condition was fulfilled as well.
Me: hmm, one condition is still left.
Her: Should I write her name in Korean in this card? Third condition will be fulfilled then.
Me: Nice idea. I will write it by myself.
Her: Do you know how to write korean?
Me: No, now I need to learn for my girl.
Her: I already have a Bf. Please don’t make me fall in love with you :D
Me: hahaa
Her: hahaa
So finally I learned the Korean script and wrote a poem with her name on it in Korean.
And gifted her that card when I was back.
Yes, she was happy.
PS: few months back she broke up with me else I would have put a snap of that card here. If she ever calls me, my first line to her will be: “please send me a picture of that card”. Hope she didn’t throw it.
I couldn't share pic of that card.
