On My Birthday

I never expected I would have such a special bday this year. To all my surprise, my colleagues have made a blast of it :)

It all started as early as midnight 12 India time and did not end till midnight 2 German time :) ) A very long bday indeed!!

Some colleagues in India office called n wished me at 2400 IST. Then, immediately followed by more wishes from my home. My sister insisted that I should come online at 2400 GST (German Standard Time). They all woke up at 330 IST to wish me ;) again. Meanwhile some dear friends showered their sweet wishes by phone. Next Morning it was Kalyan n Hari! A broadcast mail followed by a flood of mails were awaiting me at office :) Well, but for a little discussion on the evenings’ party, there was not much happening at office.

In the evening, our colleagues at offshore called me up before they were going to cut the cake on my behalf and celebrate! I was virtually cutting the cake and listening to the bday song ;) )

Just a few mins after I reached home, most of my colleagues, 16 of them, arrived and so did the food we ordered dinner from an Indian restaurant. Actually I cudnot beleive my eyes seeing how neatly our house was arranged!! All thanks to Kalyan (my room-mate) and Kanthaa (another guy here). First they made me cut a special brand cake and gifted me a MP3 player. I was all worried if my new Sherwani (sent from home) would be spoiled during the "cake makeup" session! But then it was fine. Then we all relished the delicious food. It was all going good till there. Now, started the bumps. I should curse myself to have brought in that tradition. And some guyz were awaiting this day for their revenge!! inkEmundi… matash!! They dint stop bashing till it became red hot :( ( For their sadistic pleasure, they got all this recorded :( Around 12 they all went home satisfied. Well, it is not over yet, atleast in the US 12th did not come to end. By the time I finished the calls, it was already 2.

Over and out!
