Okay, Time Again To Celebrate the Glory of God !!!

Yeah,It's time again for another of my birthday due in some 4 more days. So, I should be thanking god that i am alive this long, right???My birthdays have not been any special event for celebration at all, actually i don't remember someone making me cut a cake for my birthday even once in my lifetime.But cutting a cake is not the only thing birthday is all about, right??My birthday involves wishes from my loved ones, going to temple to thank god that i am alive on this earth for such a long time (even if it is to bring trouble for others),wearing whatever things new i can get hold of from my almirah, distributing sweets to friends, doing my routine activities (yeah,sure that changes every year),cajoling amma to make some payasam for me and so on. So birthdays are no big deal other than the happiness i get from that "It's My B'day" feel.

Talking about birthday gifts, i don't remember receiving any special gift except the windchime that i got from my buddy Sindhu when i was in my pre-degree. She turned up in the morning at my home and gave me this sweet looking, green colored. stick like windchime that i tied in my room the moment i got it and listened to it singing in the wind.Yea, i think that was the sole gift that i have ever got from my friends or anyone around in my predegree days.You sure must be pitying me, right???Poor me, what else should I say...

Then the other gifts i remember receiving was a beautiful blue handbag, a lovely Devdas bangle and a cute handmade gift from my Mercian friends when i was doing my graduation. But now that i am really thinking about the gifts i got, why didn't they give me any gift in my first and second years???Why only in the third year??Were they afraid that i will leave them and choose someone else if they didn't gift me at least in the last year?? How irresponsible...

The one birthday that i remember bright and clear is from my Coimbatore days.I was doing my training there and if am right,it was my 23rd b'day.I had a friend there named Tamarai.She was the bestest but i unfortunately lost her because of a big misunderstanding.I'll update you on that story later.So on the eve of my b'day,i was totally unaware of my roommates' plans.I was all prepared for my b'day with a cute blue dress and orange and coconut flavored Haldiram's Soan Papdi (that's my amma's favorite too) for everyone in my room and class.So I had my friends in another one room as well as 4 people in my room.Usually I was the person who sleeps early, by 10 o'clock the least.The others always stays up and my buddy Arunya always sleeps only around 2 after her rounds in all the other rooms in our floor(remember, that counts to nearly 20 rooms).If i start talking about her now,am sure i wont be able to finish this note, so let me stop about her here.So, this particular day, I was the one staying up and everyone else had made their beds, including Arunya, and someone had started to even snore (that was dhevi from the next room, she sometimes sleeps in ours becoz she was the only one left alone in another room from our batch).I was wondering what happened, was something wrong with the vegetable biriyani they had served in the mess that Thursday eve?But then, why was i not sleepy?But i was not at all suspicious about anything. Eventually, i too went off to sleep reading a book as i usually do.By the time i switched off the light, everyone were snoring off in their beds.

I dreamed of many things.If i remember right, i was running through a forest, don't know how i reached there and i could see heavybuilt people following me, god knows for what.Suddenly someone called my name !!!! For a moment, my breath was arrested.I sat bolt upright on my bunk bed.I could see someone holding a candle light in the darkness but couldn't see any one holding it. The candle light was standing in the air.I shouted, Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.....That's it, and there were everyone singing "Happy B'day to you...." with music from one musical greeting card accompanying their singing.Then i came to my senses and realized that i was the victim of their plot....Everyone came and kissed me and wished me long life and fed me with chocolates and cup cakes in the middle of the night and gifted me with a copy of A.P.J.Abdul Kalam's Ignited Minds.That was a wonderful surprise B'day night.

So,let me see how my b'day turns out this year friends....Have a good time and don't forget to wish me and send me gifts....Luv you all...
