I have turned one year more mature .. more learned... more fatter ..more happy .. and more everything else... just not one year older. Suddenly when i recall my age it i feel i am somewhere near 20 or 22 .. not because I want to hide my age or look like a frolicking young babe .. its just that age, I believe get stuck at one point. But what doesnt change is the love for Birthdays .."My birthday" ..everyone around wants to wish you .. even the person sitting next to you in a dimly lit restaurent wants to wish you when he / she gets to know that its your birthdays.
The social networking sites are fantastic ... the world wishes you .. and you bask in the glory of the birthday.
the first memory of my birthday is the black and white photograph of me .. my ma who is much much younger looking then what she is now ( what a obvious statement of fact !! ) and baba with his lustrous mushtache .. cutting a cake with this little me with loads of other people. I am told that was my 2nd bday .. thereafter there has been many .. many and many more. The other sad memory was when we shifted into Chennai and before i could broaden my social set of tiny tots .. my bday happened. The only invitee was Mr Mahapatra who came with ... his blessing...That was so very upsetting. Unlike my other bdays where i got busy with unpacking my colorful gifts.. i just had blessing to deal with. How was that ...
There was one more other memorable one .. soon after our dramatic wedding .. came my bday. At the strike of midnight ...manish and 2 of our "close friends" ( one was more of manish 's friend but had to accept me due to our marital status !! ) brought in a beautiful cake.. it was fantastic. This made me look forward to the whole of the next day. My friends asked me for my "plans" and about my husband who "must be making special plans for this first marital bday" . All excited i reached home early. Got into good clothes and waited for Manish to arrive with the surprize.. Surprize it truely was ..he came back to ask "whats in the fridge..why dont we warm it and have it .."
Crash hhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... hooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwlllllllllllllllllllllllll .. ouffffffff ...
then it was yesterday 12 ...midnight ... I waited again .. this time not for a surprize .. but a wish .. 12 ...12.15...12:30 ..12:42 .... Manish came rushing .. "you know there is a IIMB general mangement course ... its a weekend course ... i really want to do it ..." ...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm .... sigh ...
