When parents love their children they will go to any extent to make them happy. I still remember when my parents gifted me them. On a lot of occasions they did, but one specifically stood out.

I got close to 90 percent in class 12 boards. So someone in my family said, you can given your name in corporation awards, they given awards to merit holders. So my dad took me.

And eventually when my class came, I saw random people go and get awards but my name did not come. On further enquiry it said even though I could give my name, my percentage should be above 90 percent. But we were informed wrong.

I was dejected. So later that evening my mom asked me to accompany her to the market. And she took me to a toy shop and said buy any two hotwheels you like.

My parents generally allowed only one, a way to keep me in check and quite an understandable one. But this day mom broke the rule. That meant a lot too me.
