I don't ever forget Birthdays.
Ever.
Won't be able to claim this from today.
What's sad is that I not only remember birthdays of important people like family, relatives, friends and Chotu, but of, neighbours and their kids, teachers, colleagues, friends of friends, family friends, old uncles and aunts, long lost friends, acquaintances, actors, actresses and all other sundry living beings.
But today, I, forgot the birthday of the most important man in my life !
It hurts more to think that he thought of it as a ploy. He thought I would wish him anytime and that I was acting as if I had forgotten !
The fact is - I did remember and was excited till last night.
Don't know what happened when I woke up !
He, being as magnanimous as he is, laughed it off.
"Just because you forgot a birthday, doesn't mean you don't love me or vice versa ! Hota hai...grow up and be beyond such things...we are humans..."
These words fail to placate me. Specially, because I have inherited this quality of remembering all important dates from him.
I am verry verrry Sorry !!
Hope, to make it up.
Phew...I have been away for too long now !!
Have wanted to write about loads of things...but have been tied up with work and padhai...
Aaj ek dost ne bataya ki he has been bitten by the Blogging bug like never before...said he probably was acting strange and stupid (like me) for wanting to write more, for planning out his next topics and dwelling on the details...
This was enough to get me back to my dearest online diary...
Also, I completed a year of blogging and fande maraoing in Feb 2009 !!
It's been quite a fulfiling experience for me.
I wouldn't want to list down all that I have gained from blogging, but would just say that it is something I absolutely love to do and shall continue for many years to come.
Thank You PsW.
on a different note, I have been in a reflective mood ever since my birthday...
23 felt soo young, so childlike, so carefree...
24 makes you feel all grown up, more responsible, a little tensed about the list of "To Dos"...
Thankfully, a few friends re-inforced that 24 or 40...doesn't make a difference as long as I am doing what I always wanted to...
Things shall fall in place as long as I keep my spark alive and do not give up my dreams...
It's all in the mind - never rang so true !
And anyway, knowing myself, I am sure, 24 or 40 - my string of stupid questions and fande maraoing shall never end...So what the heck !! Age be damned !
I also got a very pleasant surprise on going back to office after a long weekend...
Lots of Birthday cards by sooo many people... I didn't expect it to be so warm and sweet.
Last year, most of them would have been my colleagues, a new department I was expected to win over.
This year, most of them are my friends and ones I am very proud of.
Thank You All !
Jab raat 3 baje Mummy-Papa gale lagne ke liye jagte rahe...
Jab bhai-behen har aadhe ghante phone karke pyaar jatate rahe...
Jab koi 12 baje ka alarm lagakar soya taaki mujhse baat kar sake...
Jab koi door pardes se 11:55 call kar baitha taaki traffic na mile...
Jab kisine class test ke dauraan mujhe msg karne ka risk liya aur professor ki daant kha baithi...
Jab koi pure din ki thakaan ke baad, Mumbai Locals ka saamna kar, sirf mujhse gale milne aa pahuchi...
Jab kisine "In search of the perfect Cake" 50 calls ghumaaye...
Jab bachpan ki saheli din bhar call karti rahi...aur phone na lagne par gaali deti rahi....
Jab kuch logon ne mujhse sampark na hone par "We hate you BUT God bless You" ke chain mails shuru kiye...
Jab kisine yeh din yaad aane par Client meeting ke dauraan mujhse batiya ladai...
Jab koson door baithi..Maa jaisi ne bada laad aur pyaar jatate hue mujhe bachpan ki shararat yaad dilaai...
Jab kisine jald baazi me apni padhai, quizzes, assignments puri kar...mujhe der raat office se nikalva kar coffee treat di...
Jab kisine apne fiance se meethi baaton ka tyaag kar mujhse phone par bakar karni chaahi...
Jab kisine bade gusse se mere pura din "not reachable" aur "out of coverage" hone par new battery gift karni chaahi...
Jab kisine 21vi baar finally phone lagne par..."Kyun Bey Kameeni kahan marr gayi thi..." se shuruaat ki....
Jab mere chote se jaan ke tukde..mere Chotu ne mujhe pooch lehraate hue chooma chaata.....
Tab mujhe bahut rona aaya.....
Lekin jab yeh ehsaas hua ki bechaare Shivji ko mere saath apna janamdin share karna pad raha hai....toh mai fir se kameeno jaise has padi :D
All, near and dear ones, who made my day special....THANK YOU ALL :-)
Love You all...
