MY SPECIAL DAY!!!!!!

There’s one thing I missed out on blogging about. It’s about my 20^th birthday, though it’s been more than a month now, it’s too late to talk about it. But it’s something so close to my heart that I can’t miss out onto that!

Never had thought my 20^th birthday would be so beautiful! It started early in the morning when Mom as well as Dad came together to wake me up and wish me a very happy birthday! I was surprised, but not much. Then Mom said, “look Bhai (sankoobaba) has something

special done up for you!” I was feeling very lazy, and was just calling out for my brother to show that whatever “special” he has to show, and rolling on my bed, I saw out of the door of my room, there were papers pasted allover. I didn’t get what it was, and I stood up, and went closer to realize, that there are 20 such papers, stuck all over!

Each paper had been numbered, as 1, 2…20 and movie names, personalized according to my life were written on each, example, sammy diaries, sammy’s day out, sammy and the goblet of coffee, etc. As I went further, on the television, a collage, of our pictures and my qualities was displayed, and on his cell phone he was playing happy birthday song. He then handed me something, I opened it and found a nice purse like thing, and a notepad, where all my favourite Hollywood stars and Bollywood stars were wishing me happy birthday, by saying their movie dialogues. It’s a bit complicated to explain, but whatever it was, it was super-awesome!

This was the best surprise ever, and I really did not feel like celebrating any further, that much was enough for me! I went to college after that, and was a bit disappointed, as my friends had bunked, and there was hardly anyone to wish me. But after that, my best Friend Shraddha met me in college after lectures, and gave me a SURPRISE! She gave me a poster made out of her, mine and our photos and a beautiful poem in Marathi written on “our friendship!” It was lovely! I came home, as my close buddies were coming over for lunch.

After enough of waiting, they finally came; they also got a cake for me! After cutting of cake, etc. we started with our lunch. After a heavy lunch and conversations, and opening of gifts! We went through all my childhood pictures. And after enough of conversations, fun, we started playing “raja, rani chor police” – the chit game! Had fun while playing that! Then I made tea and coffee for my friends, and we got ready, and left! We went to Thane, “Talaopali” and did boating, had nice conversations again. Then we had my favorite ice-cream in a small parlour in Thane, “JANASEVA”, it’s not the plush ice-cream parlor types, it’s like a small shack,is way too old, now run by the grandson of the owner, but gives wonderful natural fruit, hand-churned ice-cream! Yum!

Then I bid all my friends a good bye and then went with my cousin, she gifted me a kurta! After all this, I finally came home, and had a nice family dinner, and returned to my room to gaze into the day again! That might be my best birthday in recent years!

I am really really thankful to all the people involved in making it a special day for me! This was a day, where after years I felt I’m a kid again, and being pampered, and just like a cat all I wished to do was ‘purr’ in the pleasure, I love you all for making me feel this! You have given me a wonderful reminiscence. Thanks again!
