Best B'day Ever

Contrary to what I had expected earlier, this B'day turned out to be the best B'day ever. The day started at midnight with my cousin Sriji, who is staying with me briefly, wishing me Happy B'day stark at the stroke of 12. (Oh ... We were having a couple of beers too). Around 8.00 am my sweetest and best friend Sujatha called up and wished me too. (She's still pissed about me having forgotten her B'day, but she's the sweetest person I know - and I'm sure she'll forgive me. Eventually atleast!). Just when I thought that would be the end of the B'day celebrations, Sriji and Guru surprise me with a B'day cake (Thanks guys ... You're the best!).

After that, I got tons of calls from all my other friends - Rajesh, Pradhaan, Abhiram, Anbarasu, Sameer, Pallavi, etc, etc, etc. And unlike last time, my sis and aunt and uncle too didn't forget my B'day.
As a grand finale, my friend Veena dropped in the evening to wish me.

The only sad part is, mom and dad forgot. For which - they did get a good scolding from me. But, to give them some credit, they don't celebrate any of our b'day using the English Calendar. They rely on a Malayalam Calendar based on star signs etc.
As per mom and dad, according to that calendar, my b'day falls on the 1st of July. So, for now, I'm going to forgive them and wait. If they don't call me up on the 1st of July to wish me, I'll know they were bullshitting me!
:D

On the whole, I realized one thing - It really does feel great to be remembered and showered with so much of love and affection. Thanks everyone for making me very very happy.
