This one is dedicated to one's who made my day on feb 11th :).
As a kid i had always liked to celebrate my birthday with chocolates , cakes etc but it was when i was in 3rd standard when i went to give cake to a newly joined teacher on my birthday that she told that one should not celebrate birthday because it indicates that you are one year older and closer to death so birthday is not worth celebrating and asked how can you celebrate when there are countless souls who dont have this luxury ,though mom said its all bull shit and the words are not worth heeding in some corner of my mind i never forgot those words though i always knew it was wrong i couldn't find an explanation, until recently thanks to john galt a character in atlas shrugged written by ayn rand.
Birthday is a day when you are born ! what other day makes you feel more alive than that day.. Life is a gift which one should enjoy and live by what one thinks is right and only people who dont think their life is worth living or celebrating find solace in thinking of death than enjoy being alive and strive to achieve better :-) .so I had decided i will enjoy my day no matter what but thanks to people around me for making it even better than i thought it would be.
Mom and dad sneak around to make sure they dont wake me up accidentaly(But its a known secret that i would be awake all the time they are around but still act like im asleep just to enjoy the effort they put in and listen to their whisper :P) and wait till my alarm buzzes and then wish.
Then comes the part for which I shamelessly wait to see well thought out gift from my bro :D.
This time there was a added surprise :P it was none other than my 3 yr old niece who came to my room n asked "atte doddamma told your happy birthday is it ?" on acking she started singing the happy birthday song sung in her school with clapping n actions :P once done she asked for a chocolate :P , As i thankfully had i gave one to her but saw her still standing there so i asked her what ? she said elli innu cake chips kotte illa , n mumbled attege gotte illa birthday ge enu madodu anta and she went down and she was calling me hey birthday girl baa , It was really funny .. I always knew she treats me more like one of her age than as her aunt :P but this was heights but i was enjoying nevertheless.
I have to mention a cool surprise given by my college friends by coming to office with yummy cake and also lunch we had in lajwab (where we were ironically made to sit near booze :P though the gandhian in me was busting to revolt I have to admit the colors of those liquids were funny like the one;s u see in magic shows :) ).
But then came the worst part of the day; working after presumptuous lunch , but then am glad that work beat my eyelids, though the battle was close ;O).Then as i reached home mom waiting with all my fav food prepared but wait how can it complete without aru dropping by :) , For past few years aru(my school frnd) has spoilt me by her presence and a pack of sweets :-) .By the time i had dinner eyelids won the battle finally but overall had a gr8 day but am happy that i'm now able to enjoy it without being conscientiously guilty for being happy :P.
