Why did he surprise his dad?
Keshav Narayan Bisht told hindustantimes.com that initially, he wanted to buy smart glass and was saving money. He saved around ₹18,000. However, one thought stopped him from spending the money on the gadget and prompted him to take his dad for a shopping surprise.
“I was saving money for that, and I saved around 17k-18k, and I thought I would ask my parents to put in 5000 to let me buy Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, but I thought that I could buy them after sometime but what if my father is no more?” Bisht recalled. He said, suddenly he was fearful, what if he couldn’t gift anything to his father? “So, I thought I should buy him a nice pair of shoes at least.”
