The Birthday Post

Yeah, this one is straight from my heart and one of the very few times when I am going to deny that very few people alone of knowing what is going on behind the huge facade. Yes, my birthday, the completion of the 19th year in this life. Well, I came back to college for my birthday from Delhi to learn that some men who have become so essential for my life in this place wouldnt be there to share the joy of this moment - Abhay, Adi, Aman, Ani, Mardia, Nath, Pranav....all out to have fun in Goa and Delhi..... yes, felt very very bad that these guys wont be there to share the fun and was feeling pretty low, Bagdi and Sunny with me in the hostel trying to put things in place for the regular hostel rituals for a birthday...Thanks all those people who asked me to not be disappointed because of this half - empty hostel and Nidhi especially for giving me that shoulder to lean upon and Adi for taking my ranting over the phone and then came the stroke of midnight as Vivek, Adarsh and Zaf walked in to join in on the celebrations...thank you three of you....it seriously meant a lot to me and lifted my mood so much.....ok now moving away from the senti part, the phones started ringing and as i kept on answering the calls, impatient Sunny, pulled the phone out and put it in his pocket and didnt let me answer my DAD"S CALL....all for the cake...the cake which was all over my face and hair only...oh yeah Dad, you need to get me a new Debaj t-shirt, this one is gone....then watched Hustle upto 2 in the nite and went of to sleep only to be woken up at 6.30...yeah u read it rite imagine 6.30 in the morning....and i strictly told mom, call me after 7.30 only and woke upto 8 missed calls from various people who realised that such a soul existed only on the 5th of March and wished to disturb my sleep....then trudged into class...and slept through the first two hours to be woken up...a rude awakening there which said Pol Ob presentation next class....dont ask abt the presentation though.....then ohk nothing great just another normal day where i beat bagdi 10-3 in FIFA and suspiciously the connection was lost in the next two games...okok chill they were even stevens....and oh yeah, I had to answer this unusual number of phone calls nd say a billion thank you's. Then again, Mom, Dad, Grandparents et al love you all, thank u girls for those wonderful shirts love u as always.....Bagdi nd Sunny....couldnt have imagined the day without u 2....Vivek, Adarsh nd Lzafeer again....u made my day again.....Team India for having thrashed the Aussies in their own backyard....Man Utd for making it thru to the Quarters.......last but not the least ..... u 7 asses who werent here.....u just made me realise how much friends matter in life :) ....... and as I end this post Happy Birthday Nidhi!!! This one is for u :)
