Twenty!!!!!!!!

Hey people I celebrated my birthday on this 16th and with this birthday I bid a farewell to my teenage..
I've had a roller coaster ride all these years and experimented almost all things I possibly could. Its not like my life ends here but its a new beginning for me.. A turning point from where I can now not return so I leave my regrets and past faults behind and start afresh..

My birthday was a blast and all my friends wished me.. SAM* as usual your wishes were the closest I hold and also Bani* who was with me all through the day.. Munna, Baba and gang wished me a day earlier but that too was pretty cute of them..
Guess what Baba took the pains of wishing me again the next day that is on my actual birthday.. U the sweetest ya:)

Thanks to all my friends for making my " teenage farewell birthday" so special..
Veer and Bhabs you were the first ones to wish me and also Charu di..
Ma, Pa love u loads for smiling all day for me no matter wat..

bbye n tc..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

This is a truly amazing story, I hope the readers like it.

Once upon a time there was a young child who lived with his Dad and truly loved him with all his heart.. He enjoyed his company and the only thing that disappointed him was that his Dad spent a lot of time working to improve the quality of their lives.. So one Christmas party they went out at the Company's Boss' house and this child innocently asked the Santa in the party that his wish should come true.. Now it was a very simple wish that his Dad should spend time with him for his birthday and as usually in these parties the Santa forwarded the wish to the Company CEO.. As his Dad was an enthusiastic worker the CEO considered the request and fixed up the meeting with the soon to be Super Dad the next day..

Dad was thoroughly surprised when he heard the proposal of the CEO.. He was been given a payed holiday for four months till his Son's Birthday and all he had to do in this time was to plan a great birthday party for his son.. Dad jumped for joy and rushed to tell his son who was equally elated..

The very next day the preparation started in full swing although it was too early as the son's b'day was four months away but Dad could not wait.. He took out all his resources and started making all kinds of lists to do.. Son was truly excited for few weeks, then the excitement wore off as all they now talked off was his Birthday... How many friends are to be called, the theme of the party, what dress they would wear, even the exact dimensions of the cake were discussed in deep detail.... as it was the only thing that the Dad had to spend his now almost free time.. It was like a distant goal that had to be attained after crossing a vacuum of nothing..

Their was another problem, although the Dad was payed the salary in his vacations too but now he wanted an almost lavish party and with nothing else at hand he started to notice the little luxuries as a waste of precious money and so the accounting and budgeting started.. All this disappointed the Son who by now wished he did not have a birthday to celebrate.. But it was his wish and so life went on.. The guest were sent invitations, duties were assigned and if the Dad had his way he would have made them do a rehearsal of the show too..

What the Dad so conveniently forgot was the simple joy people get from imperfection.. The joy of seeing people react to unexpected situations, but the Dad would have nothing of that.. Na not at his Son's oh so special Birthday, so he went over all details and he made others go over all the details and he forgot to enjoy and let enjoy on the way..

Finally the D Day arrived and instead of being Happy the mood was set differently.. Dad was hyper and jumped at every mistake that tarnished his picture perfect party, infact he was so consumed with it, that for the first time he forgot to wish his son HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

The Son's emotions were in a turmoil, what he expected to be a joyous moment turned out to be his worst nightmare.. The guest were also kinda stiff not knowing how the should react lest they do something incorrect to spoil the " so called fun" they were supposed to be having....

As the time for cutting the cake came the Son almost knew what he wanted to wish while blowing off those candles..

He closed his eyes and wished with all his might " God let me not celebrate my Birthday ever again"

As it so ironically happens, the Son's wish was granted....

He did not see the next day's sunrise.............................

BBye and tc...........

Tour De Bikaner

This is probably the most expected post of all.. But i'll keep it short and sweet..

I went to Bikaner for some conference and few significant things happened.. I realized how rough outside life can be when you facing it all alone. My family and friends supported me all the way through.. Last but not the least at all...... I was truly and thoroughly flattered to see how many people actually cared and missed me while I was away..

I would also like to thank Reet and Madhu for pampering me all through the journey..:)

bbye and take care.............
