Silver Jubliee - Bday

              May 17th night 9:30 PM.. me and abhay at home and no one around. Abhay normally goes to sleep at 10 pm but he tried hard to stay awake for the 12 clock ticking.. No wonder he gave up and went and slept off at 11 pm and i took a nap at 11:30pm... Its 5 minutes to 12. Anniah, Chillu, KSLP, Uttam, SB, Srinath, Sandee, Abhay...  4 rounds of firing bumbs session and i kept the same smile on my face hard though ;) The performance of each member on my back was ranging from above average to high impact. But this definately is lesser than what i had got in Pune in 2004 where 15+ people targetted my butt for the same D'day. Huh, only at 12:40 i got a chance to relax... its hard, its pinching, its undescribing... The powerful shots of Chillu and SB didnt give any gap though. Anniah was full-time on the job from beginning till the end though the impact on me was relatively negligible ;) hehe. When all was over, i realised its hard to stand on two feet... Wishes poured from every one... then i got up to my feet... Blowed the candles standing 6 to 7 feet away from the cake and candles... Well, i didnt had an option to go closer than that... Thanks to the vayudoot which came out of me at the right time... Gifts wishes and lot more.. It was one more happy Celebration... And my 25th B'Day... Life has been good so far. When i was below 10, i didnt know who i was.. i lost something valuable.. below 20, i struggled hard to come up in life.. 10th, +2, Engineering admission to bits were all result of my HARD core studies, no wonder the zeal to do something in life now has drastically come down to nearly 20% now of what i was then. But my 15-20 years of life has paid for me a lot. From 20-25, i matured in terms of thinking. Learnt life is not about books, studies, marks, exams... End of college, things happened, my PS-II @ Techlead Pune, And then Pramati, Macromedia, Adobe... all happened. I got new friends at every stage, most of them are in US now.

                  My Day started with wishes on SMS from Senthil n .. I reached office, i called up brother and mom... my sister.. took their blessings, Shilpa heard me talking to my parents and she wished me. Naveen called up and lakwinder heard me talking on phone. She wished and sent email to DL-SStaff. Sudharshan was on leave. Thanks to dude, who remembered to call me.. he was on leave for his mom's op. Saw yogesh and dominic while i was going to Anand Sweets, jayanagar to get sweets to team. I came back with sweets by then emails flooded my inbox with all Dev, QE, CPS-QE every one wishing me. I wanted to leave office early to go to hyd. Left early, came back today and saw nearly 50 wishes scrapped on my orkut scrap book which took nearly 1 hour of mine to say my hai back to them... Malli called me when i just boarded the train, he missed me the day night. And while i was travelling uncles called. Day was full of wishes from the beginning till the end of the day. It feels so happy and good. The day ended... No matter what, we can make our every day so happy but enjoying it the most... meeting up the friends shud be prime... Thanks to every one for making it a success. Snaps are here www.arunkumarm.com/bday/
