Overwhelmed !!!

You were born an original. Don't die a copy. - John Mason

A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun, enjoy the trip!

June 11, 2005 :
I was all involved in the daily humdrum, and the day-to-day tasks that I had almost forgotten my own birthday. It was the day before and I had no clue that my birthday was the very next day untill Harish my best bud, took me out the very same evening, on pretext of some work of his, to RR, where well .. Surprise !!! Yup there was a surprise dinner party arranged an all, and how happy and special I felt, when I saw two of my closest and sweetest friends, Divi and Pavi, who were present there after a hard days work to celebrate my bday. I just felt happier when Girish and Neel joined us later. After all that fun, they stayed awake till 12am to call and wish me at the start of my bday.. and well, another surprise was Bidisha who called me all the way from Pune.

I slept happily waiting for my bday to dawn, and hey I was woken up by another phone call wish, it was Deepa, my college friend, who has never missed to call me be it any occasion, bday, festivals, friendship day etc etc, since seven years. She's always been my support come what may all through these seven years. Well, the calls kept comin in all through the day -Naveen, Harsha, college friends etc. Spent the morning at my sis's school for some inaugration and was wearing the shirt Divv gifted me. Though I was showered with wishes from the bestest of my friends, I still expected a few people to wish me, and just then Harish called me again and informed theres somethin urgent and we need to go, and soon after Jayasree too called me and wanted to meet me . I assumed there must be another surprise comin up, and as we were about to leave the phone rang and it was Deeps, my s'h'weet best friend who with Annie had actually planned another big surprise party for me, I was on cloud 9.Well later in the night had dinner out with family and retired to bed.

I started writing this blog in the morning of June 13,2005 its a couple of days and am still writing. Harish came online a few minutes back and I informed him "Dude, Im trying to write my blog about my birthday, and am unable to get words or frame sentences." "hmm, overwhelmed ?? " he replied. Hes right, as two days later, I still did get calls and mails of belated bday.... Bindhu,Vinay, Karma, Supriya, Sam,Vani n all.

I thank the Almighty, for gifting me with this wonderful bunch of friends.
