A beautiful gift.

Something truly beautiful happened to me last Thursday.

Here is the story in pictures.





 Guto Paganotti  is an engineer and is also a  part of a vocal group in his city 'Madrigal in Casa'. The music he sent me was by his choir.

It was soul stirring--such beautiful msic which transports you to a different place altogether.

I cannot possibly embed the whole CD here but if you want  sample of what kind of music it is,

And you know what was the MOST special thing about this gift he sent me?
His mother knitted it by hand!(she loved my first book and was moved when she read it)

ps: Guto later told me that his mother made it for my daughter but I can wear it too :)
How sweet is that!

  7. Oh Preeti, how lovely of you to post this! And you look great in the pic, my mom will love to see you wearing them!! In fact, she was afraid you'd find the gifts a bit too childish, that's why she preferred to say it was for your daughter :) She'll be so glad to know you liked it too!

    Preeti dear, you've been gifting us so much all these years through your writings, it was just fair that we could retribute you with what we can do best: me singing and my mom knitting :)

    With love,
    Guto and mom Irene
