Gift of the magi

I have been blessed and touched by the sentiment of people, when they stop by my clinic and shower me with gifts, ranging from small to extravagant. The value of a gift lies not its monetary value but in its sentiment. A heartfelt thanks to all of you. Some of the gifts might not feature here as I may have used them (or eaten them :)), but I have definitely not forgotten them. 1 Dr. Richa Katiyar, IVF and Infertility Specialist, Delhi, India www.how-to-get-pregnant.in Ph:+91 98-1081-2189 GIFT OF THE MAGI

The value of a gift lies not its monetary value but in its sentiment. A heartfelt thanks to all of you. Some of the gifts might not feature here as I may have used them (or eaten them :)), but I have definitely not forgotten them.
