Happy Mother's Day!

Daughter did wake up early and made tea for me before I woke up... Then she started making omelette, but soon it turned into scrambled eggs, but I liked too.

The recently heart-broken BIL is coming with his rents for lunch out somewhere. I am feeling tempted to tell him to goli-maaro the whole thing and initiate divorce, but if they reunite, and he told her this, she will develop a khundak for me for the rest of our lives...

what to do, what to do...

btw, happy mom's day to you! very sweet of your d to wake up earlier and cook you breakfast. my kids had planned on buying a gift for their mom from archies (a gift shop). they woke up today to realize that it's closed on sundays. they had to do with a kiss and touched her feet the traditional way (their idea). happy mom's day to all moms on board!

Ofcourse I know archies Smile

have spent many many hours in there... my bff's birthday comes 3 days before me... so we would actually divide card stores, so that we could give each other a card that we haven't read already.

Also, when my sis, and later my bro got engaged, I would buy the cards for THEM coz the two were too lazy to buy any when writing to their fiance's.

ha ha. i think archies started...when?...i think 2000 or it might have been around before and i hadn't noticed.

Hmm... no it gotta be before that.. In the late 80's we used to go to this local card store named - something I forgot... then circa 1992 he took Archie's dealership... I might be wrong about the year, but I moved here in 1997, and am pretty sure that store was taken over by Archie's before that... I also remember huge Archie trademark cards and there ads on TV.

So I guess that store became Archies even before 1992.

- Archies is a homegrown brand and began
organised franchising way back in 1987
- Archies was the first to introduce Mother's
Day, Father's Day and Valentine's Day in India
- Archies was started with an investment of less
than Rs. 5000 (now US$ 104) in 1979
- Archies retails a 5-foot tall greeting card for
Rs. 5000 (US$ 104)
