    Not all gifts are worth treasuring, one never knows what lies hidden in a pretty box. Parent's blessings are indeed priceless gifts, two very potent Haiku Kalpana

    Education and sanskaars are definitely gifts for life. And I hope we never get those wedding "gifts". Nice haiku.

    Loved your twist filled with realism. Too often the gifts we receive are not what we expect! Brilliant. ♥
