The phun of doing what you dislike on your burthday



The phun of doing what you dislike also has its own charm..

22 years on March 22...I feel I'm growing old.
but let;s not discuss that ;)

First burthday away from home...returned from Bangalore at 10.30 at night after meeting Maagha,and I look at my messed-up bed :(
*(I hate any dirt on my bed)
I expressed displeasure but my friends had planned it all.

They showed me the dirt on my bed-sheet, a big melon too, lying over it partly in a plastic bag. I smilingly frowned...I knew, it's only them who can plan something for my day !

The clock struck 12 and calls paced up...after a while few hostel mates waiting for the cake, left with disappointments after wishing me..cos' the cake failed to arrive :-|
I was a lil' uneasy...they left...
A couple of other friends joined in along with the mad gang, as PPee got a knife for me to cut the melon ON MY BED :X

I cut my 'burthday melon' smiling all throughout :(
It obviously spilled over on my bed, as my friends wished it to be...

I offered melon pieces to all present there, we all ate the melon some with seeds, few giving it back to me and I laugh at the plight of my poor bed .

2nd game: they show me the pics of the two lavishing days they spent on my bed, doing everything that made me 'happy' :X
they DID..dance, they DID eat all snacks on my bed, they DID use my towel as a costume to dance ON MY bed, they DID open my cupboard and fidgeted with my clothes, my teddy and my '.......'

Another game: They opened a laptop and made me hear the 'Voices of their Heart'
Not one but in Paaarts: part 1, part 2 and part 3... !!
Phew, the 'Gyan' that they fed me in their voices were quite onomatopoeic..quite literally :O

It contained 'all that I need to know at this age and put it in practice by the year- end' PPee does not forget to mention that.

Gola equally enjoyed looking at my expressions as both musketeers made me hear that!!

Gola and PPee's nautanki went on for an hour as the others laughed their way out congratulating me on my unique celebration...


And then FiNALLY...the Black forest enters my room with 3 candles lit over it(dunno why 3 mayb the 3 BRBs that we are...can't afford to disclose BRB's acronym)

Gola and PPee waited for the not so close ones to leave so that the cake is shared amongst the 6 o'us ;)

Yet another: the pink one-piece that I saw on my chair at about 11.30 is presented to me as my burthday gift :D
I wore something I didn't ever dare to wear... a dress that made me feel wow-wow

Yet another: they get this BIG Kingfisher bottle and ask me to drink a whole cup from it (at least they didn't ask for the whole bottle..they have all the guts to do that too...sigh)

but I managed to gulp in few sips and after much of insistence, they left me with my clean bed...that I CLEANED, promising me that they'll get my bed sheet washed with the hostel laundry paying for it themselves :O surprisingly so, but yea they have promised..
(the bed sheet still lies in my cupboard by the by ;P)


!! All in a night's 3-hour time !!

It's sheer crazyness n madness (the 2 ness' that they can do all day long) that these women portrayed on that very night as I turn 22 !!!


Lowe ya Gola n PPee

(Hope lowe-showe jyada toh nahi ho gaya)



PS: The degree of the LOWE that I just wrote about is flexible and may vary... :)))

Fragrance of Peace




When life comes to its end
You, please transport
My lifeless body
Place it on the soil of Father Koubru

To reduce my dead body
To cinders amidst the flames
Chopping it with axe and spade
Fills my mind with revulsion

The outer cover is sure to dry out
Let it rot under the ground
Let it be of some use to future generations
Let it transform into ore in the mine

I'll spread the fragrance of peace
From Kanglei, my birthplace
In the ages to come
It will spread all over the world.
