birthday – part 1

a week ago i was all un-enthusiastic about my birthday… i had wished my birthday were just a day i turned 19 and i could sign a form and it would be done… i was not at all excited about it…

but come mr. saviour – he turned my mood around, albeit after withstanding a lot of stubbornness and adamancy ( is that a word? ) i became excited about it… the day that i call mine – the day where i’m celebrated the excitement was back – and i found myself awaiting midnight like anything…

his card had reached two days before; and a day before – my sis’s card with cat earrings ( i’m building my animal collection – i already had frogs and butterflies )
and it was midnight! – my batchies were searching for me cuz i was in a desolate room speaking to him
anyway, i went downstairs – cut the heart shaped chocolate cake, gave everyone a piece of the cake and there was a dance party upstairs in the super lounge – danced till 2 30am !

i got huge birthday card from deepika – with all the messages in miniature origami things – with a page reserved for the roomie and pseudo-roomie aka spoon waster
we have this tradition here the roomie gets the cake and a card that is signed by the entire batch – and the cake is cut at midnight and i got bumps! – literal kicks on the butt!

there was a prank firing back bring me to tears over the birthday card surprise but we sorted it out – thanks to deepika
and i got a new clipboard with pics of seashells from tejal cuz she lost mine and tejal and swarna got locked out of their room – yet again! ( they lost the keys to their room twice in two days! )… a gift’s waiting for me inside their room… i’ll get it today i think

and then my love has made me a list of 11 songs to be heard today – and he’s telling me which song to listen to when :

1. ‘wonderwall’ by oasis – to be heard after midnight on my birthday
2. ‘ab na jaa’ by euphoria – heard before going to sleep
3. ‘for emily, wherever i may find her’ by simon and garfunkel – just after waking up
4. ‘kahan se tu aati hai’ by lucky ali – after breakfast

and there are more to come as the day progresses…

i feel so so lucky and loved – divya and he called; prerna, kalyani, shamit… lots of people i’m so loved – i’m so glad

update : tejal and swarna found their room keys with the watchie of all people! i wonder how it landed up with him…

decision

the event :
a literary and debating competition to be held at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad from the 25th-27th jul…
we’d be leaving on 24th morning at 10 30 am by train and be coming back on 28th at 12 30 pm

reasons not to go :

• missing three days of class ie two classes of each subject – andfirst two classes of thermodynamics and complex analysis mean something
  
• the phone – airtel’s network is down due to a fire they had at one of their towers in lower parel last week… i can’t recharge my phone… means i can’t call anyone up even… and also, i have no outgoing
• its my birthday on saturday… i don’t want to be among strangers on the day i turn 19…
• i’ll be the only girl on the trip…
• i won’t be able to talk to people on my birthday!

reasons to go :

• something for the cv… that’s pretty much it… i suppose i can see hyderabad later… i have a lot of time later…

well that kind of beats it… i’m not going – even though i could have… i fought with him with tears streaming down my face… which are dry on my face right now… screaming – hoping he’ll convince me in one way or another not to go… and he did
