have never been happier than this. this is the first time in 21 birthdays that i was wished by a lot and i mean a loooooooooot of people. starting from the 12 o clock call from ash and followed by another sweetheart, the calls kept coming in and man was i happy :).
there were many times that i came to the depressing conclusion that people have forgotten me. i secretly blamed myself for the aloofness that i often show in RL, which i reasoned was responsible for so less a people remembering me, but suddenly those thoughts of loonliness have gone.
this birthday was remarkably different form all my previous ones, for starts i had atleast a 100 scraps coming in at orkut (compare this to the 60 scraps ipeople wrote to me over the last 6 months) and each one of those 100 were special!! they were not a generic happy birthay long live message, but words they meant.
the other thing that changed was at home! usually mom and my sister secretly go kurta hunting for me. i am mad about kadhi kurtas and sherwanis and they alway used to surprise me with something super cool looking. this time around i wanted to buy something for my family, afterall this was the first birthday since i started working and getting paid! i managed to sneak out to kumaran silks and ended up purchasing some garments secretly without anyon knowing it. The fact that i prepetually have a bed filled with all sorts of weirdities in which i can safely hide a huge elephant leave alone two bag full of garments helped!! and man were my parents happy! there were a few tears shred and i was treated to a super dupper grub session.
the birthday has been a plesant one generally!! i usually get depressed during my birthday week, i get so depressed that i would beat 10 to 1 that now-what -was-his-name chinese athlet who limped away from the tracks event, because he sprained his toes. but unusually this time there was no such feelings, i was even super cool to my sister who woke me up in the morning wished me for a sec and asked me to help out on a solid mechanics problem that i patentlly explained for the next 15 mins.
the only thing i missed this year was that i did not get to do the "i demand a wish" routine, something that i loved to do, and make my best chums squirm and extract guilty pleasure out of it :).
Overall it was a very happy birthday indeed and it gave me a good optimistic headstart. i needed it most, as i will be taking a lot of vital decissions pretty soon thats going to affect my life.
Thanks a lot to all my bloggie buddies, to all you wonderful people :), and to the guys at kumaran silks who helped me with the colours :D (will post about this experience later on .. )
P.S my friend reminds me that i am now 21, and have offically croseed the age limit to 1) view porn and 2) getmharried officially by indian law.
P.P.S in both the above said cases 1) i am not interested and 2) i am not looking :D
