12 am- Here starts the celebration of getting older. The best friend (Shi) calls and after some 20 minutes of gushing, grinning and grooving, I accept that she is practically my boyfriend figure. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the unconditional love of my friends (Shi, Apy and Swa), who were actually more excited about my birthday than me.
11 am- I finish Mrs. Funnybones, a book by beauty with the brain Twinkle Khanna. I gifted this book to myself in order to survive my birthday with a relationship status as ‘a single girl’. I actually asked a few days back to some of my friends(Aks, Joe) that what should I gift myself on my birthday and got marvellous suggestions like, gift yourself a boyfriend. Well, I preferred the book over the boyfriend. It amazes me that how books attract me more than living beings. Well, Finishing this book makes me sad as I crave for more from Twinkle.
5 am- I reach the awkwardly awkward workplace to carry on an odd shift duty only to discover that I share my birthday with Katrina Kaif and Aruna Asaf Ali. Sharing your birthday with a Bharat Ratna
Awardee and a Diva surely makes you feel good about yourself. Also today, the beautiful state of Uttarakhand is celebrating Harela, a plantation festival. These little-little information are sufficient to keep me amused.
4 pm- Inspired by the go organic campaign, I plant a baby Hisbiscus Rosa Sinensis plant, only to be declared as a psycho by mom as I keep on checking on it after every 10 minutes. Spoiler Alert for future kids, you people are going to be blessed with a nagging and overprotective mother.
5.30 pm- Best friend's husband (Ash) calls with an unknown number and here starts whole guess-who-am-I game. I confuse his voice with best friend's father's voice and call him uncle but later on get able to calm him down by saying that uncle has a magical voice.
6.30 pm- I get indulged in watching Wimbledon Men’s Singles final match. After the initial hiccups, my childhood crush Roger Federer gains the momentum and beats 28 years old Cilic with such an ease. The way he hops, yanks, jumps and scores aces so easily, makes me proud of my choice all over again. Yes, on the auspicious day of today, Federer manages to clench this deserving grand slam. He is a grand proof that age is just a number.
8 pm- I try to act surprised on receiving a truffle cake and beautiful roses by brother and sis-in law (shiv,Nan), as I overheard their conversation with mom about a surprise gift. A little while later mom manages to get this wonderful cake upside down and ends up giving me fuzzy logics like it’s all get mushy once it is inside your mouth, kudos mom!
9 pm- Four year old cousin gives me a compliment that I look beautiful and even plants a few kisses on my face, leaving me to wonder how fast forward he will become once he will reach my age. Also by this time atleast 20 persons already asked me when I'm going to get married. A birthday is the most auspicious occassion of asking such questions, I guess.
11 pm- I am ending the celebration of getting weirder by my favorite thing in the whole world. I get stuck with inertia of rest at times and stop writing but when I get my momentum back, I realize how much I love
writing and will always do!
I think I’ve finally come to the terms of getting older.So, Happy birthday to me.
