Happy Birthday Aaie

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My brother, Aditya and I gifted this custom-ordered oil portrait to our mother on her 60th birthday last month (Feb.15th). Well, it was mostly my brother’s idea who got it done and I just went along. Aditya liked this idea so much that he plans to give a similar gift to any relative who turns 60. Considering my mom is one of the eldest in her side of the extended family, he may have to bulk-order them over the next few years. At least now I know what I will get for mine; if I live to be 60.

And I must add, she doesn’t look a day over 40.

Wishing your mother many happy returns of the day. My mom is 8 days older than yours. It was her 60th birthday last month as well. My brother and I sent her flowers, chocolates and a cake. We’ll celebrate more when she arrives here in a month.

Thanks, Parag. The rest of the party with flowers, chocolates, and the cake all happened live although my parents were away at Maldives on the day of her birthday.

Wish your mom happy birthday from me. That’s a beautiful gift. And you’re right, she doesn’t look 60 at all!

Thanks. She was asking about you and Rajith the other day.

Happy birthday to your mom. Can you order such portraits online ?

I'm not sure coz it was done through a small-time local artist but I'm sure he/she could do it and ship it to you albeit for a little more. I can ask my brother to inquire if you want to know.
Aditya
Yes you can. Email me the pic and I’ll get it done :-)

I see a business opportunity brewing in your mind :) Gives eTasveer a whole new meaning, eh?

no… an astrologer has asked me to stay away from entrepreneurial urges! So dont put ideas iinto my head.

Dude, do you still believe that shit? Come on, you went to CMU and have lived in the U.S. do you think it makes sense to stay away from "entrepreneurial urges". Isn't that socialist? :)
BTW try marrying a tree. It may help :)

thats such a wonderful idea. Artist also did the justice. Beautiful!

Yup. And the artist did it off a photograph. It is a really good replica.

What a thoughtful gift! And your Aai looks so regal in it too. Wishing her the very best on her 60th.
