As I say my birthday’s are always special. So far enjoyed with my bunch of frenz for almost 12 years suddenly last year everything changed. A fren got married I relocated to b’lore and was worried don’t know there’s no excitement and wat’ll I do on my b’day no plans nothing. Thanks to my Dr. frenz in PG who made my day with a surprise party. But this year again a different situation. All my Dr. frenz are settled in all different places and I ‘ve landed here at home. As December approached I was worried and upset as to what to do. How will I celebrate my day. I almost thought ok I’m grown up so may be I shud stop being childish and be serious. No party nothing just pray and wish myself. And here I get a secret talk by some1 that my little cousins (who are in school 1st std to 7th std) are not willing to go for their Christmas vacation trip. They want to stay back and give me a surprise. They actually were practicing for some dance and singing just for me. I was completely glad and happy happy. Then I asked one of those bribing with some tofies that are u guys doing this I heard somewhere. That idiot said no we aren’t. trust me. What do u think? Mom ‘ll leave us do that a? Then I thought may be that was a rumour but still has a hope. Then here started my shopping for my birthday with the start of December. I this time have end up buying 4 pair of dresses for my birthday. Yet not satisfied coz I felt may be I didn’t get the one I needed. Then thought anyways its not gonna be a special day and ‘ll be as a normal day so did no much purchase. Yeah but on my b’day I wear everything new and use all new. (includes tooth brush to paste to moisturizer, shoes, everything). Don’t have a budget to ‘ve new jewelery Insha Allah I’ll one day.
24th December I made it sure that I reminded all possible people abt my b’day. My granny, my pappa, my mom and brothers every1 and many of my frenz. Ok it’s the night I was all set to wish myself first for my b’day. There a knock at my door. Who’s it? Some khalbali inside me….. opened the door OMG I see my 2 brothers and bhabhi with a cake and candle on it. I was sooo happy I cudn’t say a word. But wrong timing it was still 10 mins for 12. Then I called my younger bro who was fast asleep (he was in pune so). Started screaming don’t u ‘ve shame its my b’day.get up and wish me all are here and wait still 5 mins there. Then ok here the clock ticks and the b’day song started happy b’day to u (ahhhh I love this song). My y’bro asked hogaya? Me so jaon? Ok bye kal mamma ke paar tumhare gift pada hai le le na ok. Baad me b’day cake ka imp kaam hua. Sab mujpe paint ho gaya. Well later my elder bro heard a beep from my cell. I tried to hide but I cudn’t see. It was actually my b’day reminder on my own cell lolz. All started laughing like hell. Then I explained in case I forget to wish myself. Ok that was the begening. Later mom and dad Wished me and shouted on bro ki humko kyun nahi bola abt the cake and all. We wud have joind (mom aur dad jawaan ho rahe hain ROFL).followed by many phone call wishes by frenz. Lated at 3 I started jotting down who all wished me. Did any1 important forgot. I remembered 2 ppl. Called up and started shouting how cud u do this. How can u sleep nicely on this very big day of mine. How dare u n all.. After some pause I got a voice from other end, “Y wat happen? Whats today?” it got on my nerves and I again started its 25th Dec for ur kind info. “Of ‘m sooo very sorry, I didnt forget ur b’day, I just didn’t notice the date. “m so sorry I owe u for this. And blab la bla.” Here me saying gain are u gonna wish me or not now? Oh ‘m sooo sorry. ?Happy b’day baby. Now 2nd call but not reachable . Forget it ‘ll see to it tomorrow. Its ur day darling enjoy. With some good melodious music I slept again.
At exact 4:30 again a knock at my door. OMG I don’t believe this, my sooo little cousins standing right in front of my door and singing me b’day song just like ppl sing carol in front of ur door. I called them in and started serving them the left over cake. What do I see. One of them went out and bought the cake which they were hiding near the door. They said 4:30 hogaye kya? Ok chalo cake kaato. AAp 4:30 ko he aayi thi na is world me. SO nice of them. I almost started crying, hugging and crying. It was a home made cake. Glad that aunt also helped for that. Felt like the princess. Ok chalo its very cold u all go back ‘ll meet in the morning. I came back with lots of joy in my heart. Slept and ya cud not coz I had calls and calls. Special special. I woke up early had to get blessings from dad and mom. It was ten and I was out of bed. New day new year everything new. Got ready and took blessings and all. It was Friday so Prayer and prayer service all over and so eat up my half day with this stuff. A visit to church was must and met frenz. When I came back home surprise, my wudbe bhabi had sent a gift and a bigggggggg cake again. And my cuttie cousins reay with their arrangements. Poor cutties so eagerly waiting for me coz they had to leave for their vacation trip, they managed to stay till 25th bugging their parents. All my fav. Songs and dance. I was the guest of honour. Wow it feels so good. After that the same old b’day party went on. Oh ‘m tired. Now time to unpack the gifts Which a got from 2 days thanks to fast courier service. Finished all tasks and tired completely, off to bed jotting down names of all who missed to wish me. Koi baat nahi dekhlenge kameeno ko. Slept with lots of joy and happiness.
See I told u I didn’t expect and still I birthday turned out to be special. No wonder ‘m excited abt my birthdays.
P.S.: Thanks to all who made it special. Sorry to many whose call I cudn’t attended. But ur wishes are counted, U remember to wish that really worth it. Thought for this year:
What if you were an alien that just beamed onto Earth and you didn’t know the rules? What if you didn’t know the way things were done and you were free to create a solution to any problem or expand any opportunity? Chances are, you’d tap into your reservoir of creativity and create brand new solutions and possibilities.
