Yes, not me. Certainly different but yeah, I hold few feelings with myself. Now let me answer the same question. Its just another day. Near and dear ones do come with compliments for me, adding another level of high feeling to the normal one, but trust me they do it every time they find something new in me, they do it every time they get a surprise from me. The entire day is full of attention, but for some reason, I am not of the kind who really gets turned on by this, feels great though. Certainly looks like birthday is just another day in life and most of the birthdays have been like that, but not the last one.
Precious, as I termed it, was the the day when I turned 26. They say, Being loved is a bigger feeling that loving someone. I say being known by someone is a bigger feeling that knowing someone. I got the feeling of being known. My buddies made it sure that I get what I die for, the memorable time. They provided me with only those things which I wanted on that just another day. Never wanted it to be eventful, but sure enough wanted to spend quality time with all the ones I love and thats exactly what I got. People of my genre would understand that it has become a big thing these days to spend quality time with ur loved ones.
Starting Saturday evening, the birthday eve, I was involved in some small time activity. Was going to have a normal dinner with a few friends and then would have headed to the 12'o clock birthday celebrations. It looked pretty simple from that end. Trust me, I was sure enough to see something different than what I had imagined but it was nothing different. Well, after being involved in so many surprise b'day parties I was sure enough to get some surprise or other. But we all simply headed home after having dinner. Well, probably the home is decorated by the time we reach home was another thing in my mind. After reaching home I opened the doors with lot of anxiety. It still is the same old room. Well, no decorations for me. Tried getting to bedroom, although it has never been an exciting place in my life but still hope is hope. Well, the bedroom too seems like the same. Just few more clothes lying here and there. OK. May be the other folks have something in store for me, as they took a little while before coming home. But more or less they too were just like the ones they were at the dinner table. WOW!!! its just another social get together here, said me. Only surprise was the presence of Abhishek and Tripti, Moush's friends, who had come to visit her and were not left with any other option but to be a part of "just another social gathering".
There still are few minutes left for the birthday celebrations to begin so lets get prepared for some calls which I really wait for on this day. And the phone rings right away. I get to hear my sweet little sisters' voice wishing me birthday. In the mean time I get to see the birthday cake nicely decorated with Strawberries which do happen to be my favorite these days. My buddies know this. Its not the regular chocolate or black forest, I can feel the difference and trust me that cake gave me good enough a hint about the other surprises which I was going to have in some time. By the time I had cut the cake, I could smell strawberries all over my face. They really were nice. The cake session did last for sometime and I was made to prepare myself for some more surprise. Now before I go to this one, let me tell you I savor good drinks big time. And while I was guessing that the room is getting decorated by some nice drinks, I was trying to keep my mind on the phone calls which I was attending. In a short time, I was called and what I see is the room is decorated with some nice looking bottles of MILK. Well, as I'd mentioned earlier, I was turning 26th and was greeted by 20 bottles of flavored milk. That was the second one. I love to drink milk and more than that I love ironies. My buddies know this. As I try to relax a bit, I am told that my birthday gift is waiting for me. WOW!!! Its not just another social gathering here. But I've to fight a bit to get it. I have to question my buddies which they answer only in "YES/NO" and guess it in 10 questions. After 1st five questions, for every question I have to do something which I am asked to till the time I get it all right. Well, this seems little too much to get my birthday gift. And the game starts. I get to reach to the gift pretty too soon. And I falter. These lovely buddies make me remember my college days of ragging after that. Since they are the loved ones, they feel pity on me and finally hand me a plastic bat which the kids use in their kindergarten days. Cricket is life and I love batting as much as I love my life. Might be a little overstatement but idea was to convey the feelings. My buddies know this. I had just finished thanking everyone for the precious gift, when I was taken aback by something which I could not believe. It was a true english willow bat. The sleek, sexy, curvy, mean, virgin was waiting for me. Prepared enough to give me an orgasm, it was my ultimate b'day gift. My buddies know this. I was advised not to take it to bed and I tried for it. This is how the eve was. Almost speechless as I was, I did thank my buddies with the minimal words which came out of me. The night then involved some good time with my bro, who had come a long way just to make it to the day.
The second day, which was my birthday started off pretty late, 1:00 PM. As usual, we headed for lunch directly from our beds. There is this small Gujrati thali place where I enjoy hogging quite a few times. We entered the room and were greeted by some great food. While the food was being served, I noticed a celebrity sitting right on the next table. It was Leslie Lewis as I confirmed with my buddies. Having done that, I sure was going to ask for an autograph and thats what I did. He modestly gave me my B'day gift. Now thats surprise as well as a luck. Out of nowhere I got an autograph of someone whom I've seen only in TV sets and appreciated. The just another day is surely turning out to be a lot special day by now.
After lunch we headed to Ani's place. As soon as he opened the door, I saw some good drinks already served. Sunday afternoon, great lunch, good drinks and cricket match. What else do u need. Enjoyed the time till evening there and then headed home for a b'day treat. This is where the other buddies who could not make it at night were to meet me, Pooja, Nikhil, Pranita and Amit.
RAJWADA was the place. It was almost 8:00 PM when we started the party there. Everyone seemed pretty keen to get on with each other. And the show began. As usual, with some drinks on table, everyone immediately wore their singing hats and presented themselves with their best. The songs varied from Jagjit to Aatif. And yes not to forget it included the famous FUSION. Am still finding words to describe it. The show went on till the time it could have been. I really enjoyed to see everyone having their best, on the day. Its a different feeling altogether.
I know its been a long prose for the small event but trust me I am capable of pouring in more words. This is something which I would have only imagined in my dreams. Don't want to raise my expectations and long for another such day. Sure enough, my buddies have carved it in my life with golden pen. Thanks or any such word would be understatement to express my feelings. All I can say now is,
BIRTHDAY IS NOT JUST ANOTHER DAY!!!!
