No matter how old one grows,the excitement,anticipation and anxiety that a 'birthday' entails,never fades. 28th october resurfaced these feelings in me once again..I was almost swamped and inundated by wishes. It had been long since i was last lavished with so much attention,love and care..
I have not felt so special for a very long time now..The fact that some of my friends took the trouble to stay up till the hands of clock joined palms,is in itself gratifying...My birthdays are usually very simple with no elaborate celebrations..thankfully it fell on a sunday and i didnt have to rush to office..since it was "MY DAY" all the items in the three meals of the day had to reflect my likings..Ma cooked all that i fancied..
B'days are incomplete without scrumptious meals..as i almost stuffed myself at the lunch table,i wondered at the ease with which my mom juxtaposed all her duties..after having spend tedious hours behind household chores,she also managed to cook some delectable dishes..i wish i had a modicum of her impeccable multitasking abilities...
It was my "happy wala birthday" and hence my happiness knew no bounds..the very fact of it being my birthday made me so happy that the absence of the surprises wouldn't have belittled my mirth..
My exhilarations for the day reached its crescendo when a delivery boy came at my doorstep with a black forest cake..My endearing sis had sent a cake for me... i loved this surprise :)
very few people have their birthday celebrated over two days...i am one such fortunate being... the following day my office mates surprised me with a cute teddy and a bag... and also a big black forest cake.. this was the second cake :)
all in all ,this b'day was a gift box which opened to a world of happiness and multitudes of love..I now have to wait for 365 days for time to come a full circle again...Or the most I could do is to wish that my not-so-parsimonious luck would show its magnanimity sometime sooner again...
until then let me dwell in the jubilations of the memory of this day...
