Another .. Bday Gone..!

In Brief:

I have completed 25 Years in this beautiful world.. The world which made me laugh, cry , think, implement ,fight .. ! I thank God.. For all his kindness towards me.. Because I believe I have achieved atleast a minimum of what others do in this age. I am thankful to him that I have got such a wonderful parents, loving sibling, caring Granny and few good friends. He was always kind to me.. He forgave my mistakes, gave opportunity to explore new things.. Good to make me better.. Bad to make me Best..

I know you are irritated by the time.. Kewl Lets go to the fun part!!!

Bit of Past Fun:

When I was kid, my bday celebration stop with a small cake, Dad’s Gift.. Mom's Payasam (Kerala Sweet Dish), Sweets to friends &Teachers and offerings to Temples across Kollemcode and near by places. I started celebrating it to a good extend when I joined my college. But everything was limited even there.

I celebrated my 22nd Birthday in Wipro. I was really moved to see there interest. I was shocked to see people taking my birthday so seriously. They gifted me lot many things.. I cut the cake with my trainer Muqeet and all my colleagues who joined with me. I gave them party to all.. That was my most expensive Bday till then.

My 23rd bday was more amazing. I was sure that they are gone to give me Bday Bumps. But i didnt noticed any signs of it. At 12.00 am all my friends came into my room and caught hold of me but I managed to escape from them. Neighbors came out because of the disturbance and my friends explained that its my BDay .. I cut the cake brought by Jith and then they used cake as a Scrub for my face.. I went to Seed where I was working. Gave them a party there... We all went for a movie .. in Inox Multiplex.. (Sponsored obviously by BDay Boy :( ) . I came back to office just for a batch .. Coz they were expecting me there on my birthday. One of my student (Name not disclosed for some reason) gifted me a T Shirt.. I didn’t accept that (I don’t like Gifts .. And I believe that is not the way to share your happiness). But I am forced to accept it...

My 24th bday was in Philips. I was expecting my Mom to wish me Happy Birthday. She didn’t call me. I called her after some time and asked If she remembers that its my birthday. She was almost on tears. She told me that the phone was not working and we normally celebrate Star Birthday. She called me several times after that.. but I didn’t pick her call. She called Ramu(My Colleague) to convey her wishes. I was so upset on that day .. I left home @ 12.00. My manager asked me why I am leaving.. I said I dont feel good. In the night .. Bhavik,Masoon, Ramu came to my home with a cake.. So that bday went like that.

Finally on 25th Bday was almost reached my door step. I know it will be screwed by all means because I don’t have any friends here .. Bhavik left.. Masoom too went home.. Anand was not feeling well .
It was one moment I felt that I missed my friends in Pune, the party, gang ... I was almost on tears by the time .. @ 11.00 I got a call from Singapore.. Sreejith wishing me Happy Bday.. I told him that its not singapore .. Here it one hour ahead .. and told him to call me @ 12.00. Then at 11.55 my sister called me wishing me Happy Bday .. She was repeating Happy Bday till 12.02. At 11.39 Sandy(Pune Friend) called me. I didnt accept the call as i was talking to my sister, then my Mom wished me. Then my friends called me one after another including Jith @ 12.05. In the day .. I was with my friends, had lunch and dinner with them and went back to home... It was also one among the best Bday I had, for lot many reasons.. But i never can forget the bdays I celebrated in Pune and Pune friends...

I miss u all there :(

First Five friends who called me (Last time also I updated this in my webpage): Sandy (Reliance), Snisha (HP), Sreejith(Iflex), Suthan(SAP), Antony Lijo(QAD).

Lot many friends called me on that day... Lot many SMS, Few Orkut Scraps.. Thanks to all of them especially Snisha who wanted to wish me first (She gifted me a card and a Shirt), Bhai … Who tried to call me from Nederlands, Sreeja who wished to call me in the last, but late night another guy called me.

Today... I got chocolates and Gift from the company. Last time it was bad in the company as I got worst bumps in my life. I told u that I left early that day... Next day Manager came to me asking... why I can’t tell him that it was my birthday and asked my colleagues to give as many bumps they can give me :(.

I once again thank you all who spend their time with me and wished me a wonderful birthday… and I am sorry if I forgot anyone of you.. in this post. It was not intensional.

A wonderful message I got from my friend Swapnil :
