It depends on how important they are for me Or how important that moment of happiness is for them.I did my best to make some important people happy in my life.1 .I left my govt job just to build my cosy nest for my husband.2. My MGM lion once became very emotional. She had one dead and three alive children by the time she was twenty one years old.She never tasted parent’s or sibling’s love because of her nature. I don't know the reason she was very upset that day. She was in her mid fifties that time. Said in her entire life neither her husband nor kids bought a single gram of gold for her. Except one odd saree no one gave her any gift. Except whatever she got in her marriage, nothing she got extra. Not even her husband could buy anything for her. Those post independence times were really tough I heard. Adding to that she had three children. She too earned but it's just sufficient for the family. No surplus cash to buy jewelry. To Dils (in our marriages) also she melted some jewelry of hers and gave I am told by my elder co sister.I felt very very bad. I am the most pampered girl. I know how happy and joyful it is to receive gifts.I have hundreds of scores to settle with her. But her’s such a fragile, completely womanish angle I saw for the first time. Even we were not in great financial condition that time .I could not even afford a maid.I discussed with my other Bils and co sisters but no one felt it's necessity. They said I am over reacting at her words.when ever she gets angry she talks like that.I know her anger. But this is her pain. It's her badluck. She doesn't have daughter to understand.I wanted to do something but I too didn't have money. I removed two gold balls from my Mangalsutram. She does have her minimum jewelry. But some one with love giving a gift is different.I took them to shop.valued them. Around three thousand I got. I asked my husband for six thousand. He called me ‘nuts!' to ask him for money knowing thoroughly about our financial condition.I seriously told him to apply for the credit card. He was shocked. Because when he asked I only told him we don't require it, in our financial condition we can't mortgage our future too.we can't spend our future savings now itself. Interest charges were also too high in those initial stages. Credit cards were just introduced in the market by banks then.But some how I could convince him. We got our card.Straight away I went and bought a small necklace swiping card .My husband declared me insane. Didn't talk to me whole day.when we were waiting for every first date in the calendar for the salary, is it required for me so urgently? He asked.I kept quiet.Because if I tell it's for his mom! He will straight away go and tell her. He is ‘vibhishan' of our house. He can't hide secrets. She will become ‘Mahishasura mardhini' and chase me with her shool. She too doesn't encourage this kind of expenditure.I want to give it as a surprise.We went to her on Deewali. It's her birthday. I slowly said birthday wishes and called my husband. Together we gave her the necklace. You should see her face.Smile, happy,tears in her eyes, blessings in her mouth for us. It took fifteen minutes for her to become normal. She showed immediately it to her sisters, neighbors, my Fil. She is in cloud nine.My bills praised us. My cosisters murmured something, I didn't care!That night on terrace, my husband held my hand and said only one word. ‘Thank you jungle cat!'My mil came.she just touched my head. Didn't utter a single word.I said hurriedly ‘your son only bought it for you!I got scared she will make me ‘chutney' for the dinner. For one small iron box itself she made big hungama.She patted my cheek and said, ‘I know my sons !'That's it. Neither praised, nor thanked, nor scolded. I felt relaxed.But all our relatives later told how happily she wore that necklace in functions and praised me.Could you believe we took Mysore bank loan for thirty instalments to repay that credit card bill. But till today I could recollect her happy face.Till that day my husband never bought a single piece of jewelry for me. First we bought for her.It doesn't mean our Tom and Jerry fights between me and my mil stopped. Continuing till today.hehe!But come what may till today I buy her birthday saree and gift. Her regular wear sarees, chappals all her needs.She has money. But won't buy. She says ‘I feel happy if you buy for me!'3. I could sacrifice my favourite colour kanjeevaram saree which I was able to buy after few years planning, to a new would be bride..In return I got a tight hug from her, loads of love and blessings from her parents.But what I believe isOne should know the taste of happiness, how-to be happy, experience the happiness, value of it. Then only you can give it to others.I can't give anything which I don't have. I know how to be happy. I know nothing wrong to be happy my self.Along with it if I could make my people, and people around me too happy with us, that feeling is different. I don't even feel hungry that day if I could make anyone happy with whatever I could.There are so many. One is my resident maid. I have to fight alot with Emu and security. She is a destitute and got cheated by her husband, with me now for past 14 years.I can live happily without falling in to any tensions. But I feel I am living life full as a human being if I could help someone some times stretching my capacity a little more.

Not at all, but almost nobody would have any clue what were talking about. Now, if you were to say “Happy August 24th”, the day the British burnt down The White House, even fewer would recognise the date, but mention November 5th and November 11th and everyone will understand what you were talking about.In other words, people outside the USA don’t really care about your special days, as they all have their own.By the way, if you are not American, would you consider it a faux pas if someone from one of the countries listed below wished you “Happy Independence Day” on their national days?AfghanistanIndependence Day, 19 August (1919)AlbaniaIndependence Day, 28 November (1912) also known as Flag DayAlgeriaRevolution Day, 1 November (1954)American SamoaFlag Day, 17 April (1900)AndorraOur Lady of Meritxell Day, 8 September (1278)AngolaIndependence Day, 11 November (1975)AnguillaAnguilla Day, 30 May (1967)Antigua and BarbudaIndependence Day, 1 November (1981)ArgentinaRevolution Day (May Revolution Day), 25 May (1810)ArmeniaIndependence Day, 21 September (1991)ArubaNational Anthem and Flag Day, 18 March (1976)AustraliaAustralia Day (commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet of Australian settlers), 26 January (1788);
