Birthday, me and the surprises...

My birthday bash was something I thought I would pen down, contributing to 100s of laughs and more laughs to everyone reading my blog…!!

(You would find Neha, me and other people referred in this blog… neha happens to be my colleague and roommate!!)

Neha has brought some head phone kind of head set which had two horns with red lights in them, and a on/off switch over that. Trust me it was too scary in dark and we decided we would scare everyone in hostel when power goes off.

Day 21st March, 2010, 11:45 PM: Gurgaon power supply is taking a great deal these days, and as like all other days power was down by this time. I, the most courageous felt Neha would be on the terrace, and I would go with this head set to scare her… to my amazement, Neha wasn’t there and there was a maid and her small baby on the terrace, and they got scared and started shouting… in no time I got scared and I started running back; power resumed in the mean time to soothe everyone…

Day 22nd March, 2010, 12:00 AM: Finally Neha who has disappeared since some time has turned up with a birthday cake, (although a poor surprise, still it was a surprise, as I kept pestering her to tell me whats there in surprise for my birthday since the time she turned back from delhi and she kept lying that she forgot that its 22nd and my birthday and stuff…)

I had only heard that people who live together for 6 months would start thinking alike, but now I could see both my roomies proving the hypothesis… they both have opened their surprises for me… the first one coming out from both of them was birthday cap… oh my god, they have put both the hats just like two horns on my head!!

The moment I blew the candles, power was down and the generator was testing our patience which took entire 20 mins to start that night… by the end of 20th minute, the entire cake was on me, and people were entering my room, holding a lighted candle to capture a picture… time was actually precious to be wasted…!! So people didn’t leave a second of enjoyment…. And I was sitting with all that cream and busy exploring my surprises…

Doing this doing that, answering phone calls, I finally slept at 2:30 AM…

Day 23rd March, 2010 10:30 AM: Mid of busy day at office, Neha rushed to my seat to propose for a movie treat in the evening…. Sooner we decided, we started calling all the invites and I finally booked tickets for a movie.

My invites this time for birthday were only the pretty close ones here in gurgaon, and I avoided all other hi hello friends and colleagues for a dinner in the weekend…. These closer pies didn’t actually mind to ask me what movie it is, me and neha didn’t even bother to enquire how the movie is and booked the show the moment we saw vacant top row…

8:10 PM: Late to the movie by 15 mins, we all finally reached the movie, and everybody was startled except both of us looking at the title… “love, sex and dhoka”… or “LSD”….
Day being my birthday people didn’t have much to say, and we silently entered the theatre… first 20 mins we couldn’t understand nothing and there was some murder, horror in the movie…. Although it was a little beyond comfort zones, but it was quite manageable by all of us…

34th min we all were out of the hall and no one actually could say anything out of embarrassment… and there we landed at Nirula’s for a celebration again…

the crazy world could actually stop getting crazier… I had a ice cake in front of me… haaaannn… it took a great deal to cut that and then everyone had to put great efforts in eating that….

This experience had taken us to a realization and we decided we would walk out of that mall and go somewhere else to dine… then it was a usual dinner near a restaurant at my place… god knows what we had in the night at 11:00 PM, the whole 23rd March, all of us were struggling to keep our eyes open fighting sleep and restlessness…

I had no words for this birthday of mine, except a wide smile on my face, welcoming odds and evens that I had encountered in these past 24 hours….
