500 Roses

this is about my one of a kind valentines day experience.
i remember, i did delivery boy job/help for my friend who was in US at that time.

the story goes like this, 3 yrs back, one of my friend who was in US, he wanted me to deliver 500 roses to his girl-friend who stays in hyderabad. imagine how would i take/carry 500 roses to his girl friends place! on top of it where should i order 500 roses!

i had to contact 15-20 florist shops to order 500 roses, no person was ready to take up the order for 500 roses, that too on valentines day!!, coz there's a lot of demand for roses on that day.

finally one lady florist agreed to take the order after a lot of request/begging :-)) i ordered for the roses 2 days before the valentines day, so the day came, i went to florist shop to pick up the roses, the shop was full of people buying flowers, it was a awkward situation for me, everybody was looking at me, some were laughing, some were looking at me with there mouths open wide...some were looking at me with a strange face...

so many roses!! it actually took 3 people to carefully load them into a auto rickshaw... even the rickshaw guy was smiling at me sarcastically, i got the roses loaded in auto rickshaw, there no place left for me to sit inside the auto, so i had to escort the roses/auto on my bike...at last i was off from the florist shop to delivery the roses.

the next challenge was finding her place, it was some interior place on other side of the city, it was really difficult to find her place , it took me 3 hrs to just find her residence address... i was thinking to give up, but there was no way i could take those 500 roses back home... :-)) and besides, it was friendship that made finish the job on hand...yeah one more thing, i had to buy a greeting card also for her n write some romantic stuff on it behalf of my friend, of course the matter was sent me by my friend thru email.

and finally when i found her address/place, to my surprise, she stays in a working women's hostel kinda place, its a 2 stored independent house. when i landed up in that place with 500 roses, some 100 female eyes where giving me a piercing & curious looks, who is this fool with some many flowers :-))) then i asked one of the girl to call my friends girl friend n dumped those 500 roses at her place n said these r sent by uday (my friend) to U...after that, i just ran from that awkward spot...

yes, people out of friendship, do such things/helps :-))
