Context: oh yes, i have started my 27th revolution around sun.
September 5th evening: I met my sister her at her PG acco. She gave me a pleasant surprise with a flower bouquet and some sweets. and got the advance wishes from her on the eve of my birthday.
September 6th: this time my room mate got the honor of blessing me first ;-).. i packed up to office, after couple of calls from brother and friends. i didn't celebrate my birthday for the past two years (don't ask me the reason). "wearing new dress" thaan nammaloda celebratione ;-), not more than this. I said NO for treat to my friends and colleagues since I don't have a habit of treating on birthdays ;-), one nice excuse to escape from treat.
I was invited to Mr. J's place that evening. I thought it was going to be just a meet. It was much more than that. My friend and his family has brought a bday cake for me to cut. And my friend's niece started singing birthday song, "Happy bday to kithna maama". She tried saying Krishna mama couple of time and ended saying kithna maama. and it was very cute to hear her saying kithna mama. mazhalai pechu is always nice to hear :-). they made my evening a pleasant, wonderful evening of the year :-).
September 7th evening: it was Friday, as I usually, I was heading towards Madurai, in Tuticorin express. I got into a wrong compartment because of the discontinuity of the compartments. And the wrong compartment didn't seem to be wrong, it was full of girls. (and mostly good looooooking ;-)). I can get into the right compartment only in the next station, Hosur, which was still an hour to go. There was a side lower berth empty. I asked for the girls in that cabin, to sit there for sometime till the next station. Most of the girls did say No, except for one girl, who permitted me to sit. Then, all the other girls started teasing her. And they were from Mount carmel, and going on a botanical trip to kodaikanal. When the train was nearing to Hosur, that girl came to me with a camera. Can anyone guess what she told me?
"UNCLE, can you take snap for us?".. haha, enakku siruppu thaan vanthuchu (In fact, I pitied her ignorance :-P). Appuram, Hosur came and I got into the right compartment, thinking about my 27th revolution.. how interesting it is going to be :-)..
