My Birthday:) - will cherish forever!!

Offlate, a new tradition has taken off to celebrate birthdays - the whole PGDM batch gets together at the strike of midnight and give bumps to the birthday boy, pour water on him and also break an egg on his head!

My earnest roomy, Anand, didn't want me to get hurt and made a plan. He asked me to hide under the cot, while he would tell people that i was at my relative's place!:)
I thought it was a gud idea and hid under the cot. It was fun watching/hearing so many friends come enthusiastically to beat me up only to find me missing. I was chuckling from under the cot..haha!

Meanwhile my parents called n wished. Then my wife, Shilpa called n when i told her abt what was happening, she burst into laughter n i just cudnt control my chuckling. At the same time, my friend Prashanth was enquiring my roomy abt me and he heard me laugh! He knelt down n saw me giggling under the cot. He informed all that jantha n locked me from outside. The jantha arrived, pulled me out of my room and literally held me captive against a pillar and started the bashing n bumping.....ooooh, Sachin invited some ppl from another batch to bash me...shhucks, there's one guy in that batch that all of us dread n he too joined the team to bash me:(( I went through the ordeal, which was indeed painfull than ever as ppl were irked by waiting for me.

Next was the waterfall treatment...3 buckets of water were poured from the top floor, although i dodged 2 of them, hehe:)

Ppl told me that the 'unda fodna' was given up from then on, so i was so happy. We went to the night canteen and sat for a hot cuppa n suddenly 'TUPP'...some hand lands on my already bald head:( ...yes, its an egg n it was such a messy affair as the yolk came trickling down <> That's how my birthday started - I turned 26 on 26th:)

Later in the day, i cut a vanilla cake in Bistro, our college cafeteria and as expected it was the usual smearing:) After the classes, some of us went to 'chawlas', a punjabi dhaba cum restaurant in Oshiwara(w). We tried hukka, had a few drinks, n had authentic punjabi food. The crowd was good, so it was fun watching them too:) We returned to the hostel around 11.30 pm n danced till abt 1am. Finally, i went to bed at around 1.30am, 27th july:)

This is one birthday, i will always cherish:)...thanks to all classmates, friends n family< n ofcourse GOD> for such a wonderful day!!
