The Indian cricket team
Some people are born to have an interesting life...like me.Any simple endeavour , a public outing turns into a rat race aginst time or a stampede of emotional outbursts..it just stays memorable forever..the occasions are also generally special.
Just check out the list and then the lil story to understand what i mean to say
Monday: happy child of 6..turning 7 in a week ..evening lumps under the ears..woopie.. i ahve mumps.. ....b'day blues : trip to vaishno devi with simmering temperature and ears feeling like lead with needles stuck into them
Tuesday: a number of them in the due course of student life...holiday on b'day ..most adorable maths paper the next day and if god was kind enough on that very special day
Wednesday: What an auspicious birthday..festivals lined up to brighten the city and blighten my day ,every other year... and i still havn't worn that pink dress to school...solution ..celebrate a month early !! damn neat
Thursday: Sent away.. run away 3 days before the b- day ..friends clamour to give gifts..u end up with some hideous stuff---midnite wishes at home..next morning a beautiful plaster adorms your leg
Friday: stay away from home..pataak on the eve of the b'daypops up "the" farewell for seniors..they steal the thunder..flickering candle blown with five friends..plan a lunch date ...parents call up.. we r here ..rush up the lunch..come back..parents arrive 2 hours late..u still have to smile
Sat:Celebrate the b'day in a hall while u are celebrating ur friends b'day...get flowers(iam not particularly fond of them )..feel happy..miss movie to recieve calls..wait for some..go back in ,read messages..miss movie..go back to ur room ..there are people inside....cake.decors and gifts await..by morning friends tired of celebrating 2 back to back b'days...clases...fuss dinner outing..tears of relief when all have finished ordering
Sunday: midnite walk ..calls and messages..cake...dunking...basket full of goodies .apple pie.. gifts ..a girlie collage of urs..room looks comfy not the iusual spartan hostel room....parents arrive...classses till nite..dinner with parents.. eat sweetened south indian food..come back to sleep...ah the dinner the next day..2 have to go to mumbai..luggage in car gone to pick mah daddy...late hour..u have no money..order lil food..friends pay up..parents wait at station ..u land up with friends ..send them off(there is still an hour for the train to leave)..parents hungry..u angry and embarrased..friends ( i dunno.,surprised..hungry and lighter by a few hundred)...top it all u hate to shop..mom shops till 10.30..no dinner after 11..rush to a place never heard off.find a classmate u didnot call for a treat..smile..eat and leave ..2 days later parcel from sister..good stuff..
fallout: rooms looks like a store room, people wake u up at odd hours to eat tuck from home
Note: every b'day i got atleast 3 yellow or red outfits ....and a stuffed toy since late teens for all the ones my sister flicked from me as a kid :P..this time a cute yellow dog
