Yet another birthday

March 5th, 2006  |  Published in Living, Personal  |  21 Comments

So I turned another year older today.

Yet Another Birthday

I can’t believe how the year went fly­ing past. I thought it was only the other day when I last cel­e­brated my birthday!

I had the most won­der­ful birth­day, thanks to all of you who called and wished me includ­ing Rinku, Ruk­shana, Jaya, Shankar, Usha, Mona, Rup, Arpita, Vivek C, Arun B and the sur­prise one — Charu — who said she had done some cal­cu­la­tion based on my name and fig­ured out my birth­day. I was so impressed and was going to com­ment on her per­cep­tive abil­i­ties when she spilled the secret: ‘No, madam, I went to Ryze and checked!’ Any­way, that was a good one and I nearly feel for it.

And to all those who made it extra spe­cial by being there — Anshul, Apra, Archana, Geetha, Poo & Rohit, Reena, Sabir & Saima, Jil & Rocky, Vasu, Zee­shan, Shibs, Suman M, Suman K, Chi­tra, Zoo, Mad­man and Venx — thanks a ton!

I had not, one but two cakes. And thanks to Jil & Rocky for the cutest cake any­one has ever got­ten for me! I was sim­ply floored and didn’t feel like cut­ting the cake for a long time :) And to the rest of the gang for yet another really yummy cake with strawberries!

Aquadreamer, my ‘favouritest’ baby Tara and the musi­cal Prasan, you were all sorely missed!

Do read Usha’s beau­ti­ful post on this topic a few days ago. It’s def­i­nitely about the state of mind and how you choose to live your life and not how age dic­tates you do so. I am so impressed that the Usha not only topped our French batch this time, she’s got so much enthu­si­asm and atti­tude, that I am sure she’d put many young peo­ple to shame!

There’s so much to see, to achieve and dis­cover yet, I don’t think this life­time is enough so one’s got to make the most of it. Para­phras­ing, I say: “What’s age got to do with it?!”

Birth­days, how­ever, are a time to feel nice and loved, and of course, to eat yummy cake so I’m not complaining!

    heyyyyyyyyyyyy many many happy returns of the day!!! ( though belated _ I can take refuge behind my age and lapse of mem­ory and all that.right?)
    As for get­ting older, I don’t think you will ever man­age to “Look old” — hmf, some peo­ple are soooooo lucky!!
    May you have another rock­ing year ahead! and I hope you pre­served a piece of that cake for me!!
    Have a won­der­ful year ahead…Lots of love,
    Usha
