My Birthday

This day is special for everyone and each birthday is celebrated in a different way making it memorable incidence. My birthday this year was no exception to it making it too a special birthday. The birthday celebrations did not start on that day or the previous day. The plans for celebrating it were being made few days in advance, with Monto flooding all mail boxes. I was happy to see Monto so enthusiastic for my birthday. Was it because it was his friend’s birthday or for something else, whatever it was hats off to him. It started with Monto coming home and taking Harry and the two aunties for shopping. The real work started at 8.00 and they had lots of things to do with few people. I was not sure whether these guys could really get food ready in time but to my surprise the food was ready at 9.30, with two salads, soup, two types of Pastas and rice. It was really delicious food.
Initially we celebrated Sonia’s birthday as her birthday is one day before mine. It was a good birthday till now the devil act was still to come. Then some music was turned on and people danced, the controversy over playing the music was always there with few people who wanted to play the traditional hindi songs while others who wanted English songs. Five minutes before 12.00 phone calls started coming to wish me for my birthday. The moment had come for all the guys to show their hooligan act. As soon as I cut the cake I was smeared in cake all over my face. My hair was looking like shampoo had been applied to them. I had to take a really nice bath to get rid of the cake. After the bath I had to invest some time in removing the cake from my ear, which had turned me virtually deaf.
Then some nice birthday wishes came my way and I had my dinner. I knew worst things were yet to come so I did not eat to my full. As expected, Balle and Monto grabbed my feet and hands respectively to lift me up in the air, so that they could give me birthday kicks as present. Each one in turn had his chance. One kick was bad which hit me on my back. After all this then I could have my incomplete dinner again and the party was nearly over.
Next day due to that kick I had to apply all types of ointments on my back and had to take pillows to sit. Things did not stop here. In the evening we had an opportunity to have some samosas at the ISA meeting. A hindi movie was screened that day and it was really a horrible movie. People started walking out of the classroom in few minutes. The bollywood fan (Jammy) too could not bear it. Being a weekend we then finally went to hit the dance floor. I was actually not feeling like dancing as my back was hurting, but it was bugger boy who made the DJ make an announcement to wish me on my birthday. That was really nice of him and I was so happy that I danced after that. All these incidences were more than a birthday gift to me. The day ended but was filled with fun.
All thanks to all my friends here at AA for making this a beautiful birthday for me.
