Making parents happy and surprising them as they age is a profoundly humane gesture that brings smiles to their faces. In a heartwarming turn of events, Instagram user Vivek Wagh surprised his parents with arrangements for their first international trip.
Mr Vivek shared this touching story in a video posted on Instagram on March 6. The clip beautifully captured his parents' initial excitement, believing they were heading to Jaipur, with no idea about Vivek's arrangements for their trip beyond the country.
He gave passports to his parents and urged them to read the destination written on them. When his mother found out they were heading to Singapore, her face beamed with a bright smile, while his father's confusion transformed into sheer delight.
"Had told them it's a trip to Jaipur. Aai Baba's (Mom, Dad's) first international trip," Mr Vivek wrote in the caption.
