We both live in same apartment.. :) So u all must be knowing how well i know her.. We go to GYM and chit chat and planning for outing.. I really dunno when that's gonna happen.. :( ...
Ramya's Blog is like a newspaper for me.. Everyday i read her blog expecting a new recipe...She used to tell me abt her blog readers and the requests she receives for the recipes..and she told me that she is gonna bring me into this chain.. I was really happy n excited abt this.. One fine day at 9:45 am i heard a door bell and when i opened the door i found no one but the "Surprise Ingredient (Coriander Seeds) and a Gift"
It was a Flower Vase ... Yupppee !!! I was already excited regarding the Surprise Ingredient and receiving a gift which i needed for a long time was really dream come true.. She told me that I happen to mention abt Flower Vase so she got that for me when She saw that in the store.. So Sweet of her rite guys !!!! Its really a nice and lucky to have such a nice neighbor..
Thanks Ramya !!!
