The diary game || Better life with steem|| Purchasing a gift for son's friend

Hi friends, Yesterday, my son and I went to the market area with the intention of giving my son's friend a surprise gift on his birthday. As we were pondering what to buy, we decided that a T-shirt would make for a nice present. We letf home on arround 3 pm afternoon. On our way back, we passed by a plant nursery, where I decided to buy a Tulsi plant. It is a custom among Hindus to keep a Tulsi plant at home and worship it; I have actually built a dedicated shrine—known as a *Tulsi Maadam*—on the terrace of my house, which I have filled with soil.

For a long time, I had harbored a desire to plant something there; specifically, I had intended to purchase a Tulsi plant for that purpose. However, the moment I spotted this nursery, I felt an impulse to make the purchase right then and there. Consequently, I pulled over, parked the vehicle, and went inside to inspect the Tulsi plants. Although the nursery was small in size, it was beautifully maintained.

There were several raised platforms for Tulsi plants, and various flower pots were also displayed for sale. In addition to flower pots, they sold fertilizers, flower seedlings, saplings of sacred trees, and seedlings of various other tree species. Furthermore, they offered seedlings for both ornamental flowers and plants suitable for home gardens. When I entered, a representative approached me and inquired about my needs; I explained that I wished to purchase a Tulsi plant.

Although their stock of Tulsi plants was limited—with only one or two specimens remaining—he selected one for me and quoted a price of 100 rupees. After bargaining, I managed to purchase it for 80 rupees. We then departed from the nursery and continued on our way.

We began looking around for shops that selling kids t-shirts. Just then, we noticed a newly opened clothing store called "Mayon." It looked very attractive from the outside, and assuming the quality inside would be good, we decided to step in. Since it was a new establishment and located a little distance away from the main town center, there weren't many people there; in fact, when we arrived, the store was completely empty except for the staff.

My son walked around, browsing through every section. On display were various items for men, including trousers, shirts, track pants, blazers, handkerchiefs, and innerwear. There were also several mannequins, beautifully dressed in stylish outfits. Additionally, there were some mannequins cut off up to hips shows only legs legs—that were dressed in trousers, which looked quite striking.

After browsing through everything, we selected a single T-shirt for his friend. Knowing that his size is small similar to my son size, we specified that requirement and chose a suitable one accordingly. We then purchased the item and headed out. It was only when we stepped outside that we realized how long we had been inside, for it had already grown dark; it was almost six-thirty. We then left the place and headed home.

After returning home, I took the resin keychains I had previously cast, the "S" alphabet as his name is Sanjeet and strung together some beads , and crafted a personalized keychain. I placed it in a heart shaped cover as I prepared it to give to him the next day, when I went to his birthday party.
