Bein the amatuer blogger that i am ,i'm constantly lost when i think bout writin a new post!I ve got a zillion ideas runnin in ma head , which i can probably tell extempore in the middle of ma sleep ! but when it comes to puttin that stuff down on ma blog , i keep wonderin as to what i should n should not put on ma blog , until i read this blog exactly 6 minutes back !
So here it goes for the two people , i cannot thank enough!well yesterday was ma birthday , the birthday that has been comin year after year for the past 19 years , jus like any other day ,but why do i circle the date with a big red marker on my calender?! my dad always asked me as a kid ,"why do u celebrate birthdays?" , bein the silly kid that i was i must have said , " for the gifts obviously"! I could never come up with reasons as to why u should celebrate birthdays , so couldnt he!Probably thats why he never believed in celebrating em !
Gettin back to yesterday !It was 12.00 A.M n all of em who remembered my birthday called n messaged ! Its really fulfulling when people call on your birthday hopin to be the first person to wish you , or even botherin to wish you!Now the big question was , "What birthday plans"?!!I solved it quite easily to my surprise! i already felt a year wiser for solvin it , cuz plannin my birthdays makes me all jittery!"lunch at my place" , "I said" quite relieved !!
What kinda weather forecast would you expect in Chennai , in the middle of march? definately not rains , you would say! But hey ,here comes a sudden change of plans! The bay of Bengal which was quite its usual self for all these painstakingly humid days chose to get depressed right on my birthday! I was sooo sure my birthday plans would go down the d(rain)!!But no ,these two people whom i m gonna talk about, saved this gloomy day from bein just that!
Here they arrive with a cake n hand , even before "oh its my birthday today ,gleee" syndrome sinks in!!(I'm quite a birthday person , whatever that means!)And thats when i wake up with one kg of chocolate cake(I know its an exagerration , but it did feel like one kg!) on ma face to realise that bay of bengal is havin a mood swing today! I still dont lose hope n wish it never rains , n the met dept is wrong as usual!Okkk now the chocolate cake is all over ma face , n i peep thru layers of chocolate to see my gift! n voila its a mug with MY PIC on it!!Boy it sure felt nice!
11.00 am - it starts to rain , 12.00pm it starts rainin heavily , 2.00 pm its rainin cats n dogs n Its just the three of us havin lunch! So much for my lunch plans with everyone who could'nt make it cuz of the rains! anyway that din matter too much when i thought about these two people who did make it on my birthday . They battled the rains n the autoguys who think they're demi-gods even before the clouds indicate that they're gonna burst!They used the train service , visited my place which is more than 12 freakin kilometres or even farther , and all in the mess that the city becomes even with a hint of rain!
Thats when i realised how special these two people were!I ve known them for over two years now , n i ve frankly never thought about it that seriously ! But when I did yesterday night , I realised how lucky I was! I m not the kinda person who goes out of the way to tell people how special they are , I somehow just expect them to know it ! (you can shoot me for that)I cant believe i m actually writin a post on ma blog for them!I i've never done anythin remotely close to this , n i dont think i can ever do it again cuz i suck at it ! i think being with them has been the most fulfulling experience ever , only that i ve never given it too much thought! I ve had the best time in my life with them in the last two years .All the reva-rides n birthdays , lunches n murukku sandwiches , n finishing projects in the last minute( I ve fallen in love with group work only cuz u guys!) , fights n arguments ( i missed the best parts though!) , n discussions , n makin every bench we sit on a database of lyrics ,writin testimonials on sand ,writin our names in every combination posible , takin horrid pics , and jus stickin together thru everythin!!
Today i kinda figured out atleast why i wanna celebrate my birthday!Its to thank people who ve made my year special in some way or the other! This is a small thank you note !
This may not be a great post , it may not even be worth readin once ,you can yawn at the end of it , You may have read a million other posts like this , But I jus had to do it cuz it means a lot to me!!
