Birthday wishes.

Before I try to accept wishes from near and dear ones, I thought I'd wish myself for surviving 17 long years on this planet. Although 17 is not a big number, the number of experiences, good,bad,sweet,etc etc are big in number! I couldn't have made this far without you people.Thank you so so much for being there. I hope, I keep continuing this process, think-do-learn-survive.

Dad: I'm so glad I'm your daughter. It's such a huge responsibility I know. I'm so glad you were there for me all the time. I wouldn't know what I'd do without you. :)
Mom: You are someone I always admired, mom :). Although you guys will miss my birthday this time, I know how much you'd miss me there too.
Chins: You are my successor in devilish activities! I'm so proud you take after me;)...Love you loads.
The gang: You know me so well..I would have been an incomplete, blah-blah-blah girl if you guys wouldn't have been there for me.
Aarthi: You should have been my twin! God's forgotten to put both of us in the same womb, that's what I think. :P
Jahnavi: The psychologist of the gang. Goes bull's-eye on stuff she strongly stands on. An inspiration for the gang, and the "ideal" kid for the parents of the gang members. :P
Shrujan: MY best friend. Yes, Mine. No matter whatever happened, you always stood by my side. I'm so proud I've got you. My brother, my best buddy. Name it. He's always by my side.
Rahul: My look-alike. Err..or I'm his look-alike :P. Someone who goes for a deeper meaning everywhere. Someone who can understand you so well. Is always there to smile, and open his arms to give you one of his bear-hugs.:)
Amal: My big daddy! Yes, you should stop twisting my arm badly when I trouble you.
Malvika: You know you're the stylish one amongst all o us! :) The kid too :P.
Nikhil: You are the biggest clown of my life! Can't imagine myself laughing without you around! We met just a few months ago, but this special bond we share..believe me..You keep me away from all those things that stress me out! Thank-you for being there..for the "Right-time, right-place hugs!", for everything we ever did together! You make life a joy-ride. :)
Bipul: The one guy who can teach you physics,and pull your leg badly! This guy has a bitter-sweet sarcasm which irks you, but you can't help it! He's a lot brainier, which means he has to dominate! (case is different with me.:P I dominate although I'm not brainy as he is!). He's always awake to talk to you, and has changed a great deal since the past one year! One of the best guys i met! :) Thank-you for being there for me.

Dhaval: Yeah Devil! You just made into my list of the best people I ever met! :P The only sensible guy of my class. (oh. Mr.bean, prashanth, and the good ones included too)
Fabulously designed brain he carries over his shoulders! Laughs away at things, where people would weep, cry, howl! I remember the times, I sulked, thinking nobody cared about me in the class..and you lecturing me on " Why you should never let jack-asses care for you!". :) Thank-you so much for inspiring me, Mr.Perfectionist!
Meg,Lisa,sayu: I wouldn't have been able to come to college at all, last year, if you guys wouldn't have been there to be by my side! :) Love you so much!

My Physics Sir in tuition: I never knew I'd like physics this much! Thank-you sir for curing me of this fear I had. Thank-you for making physics fun and life easy.
My teachers, my friends I haven't mentioned here..all of you..I thank you so so much for being there for me. I wouldn't have been what I am today without you people, directing me, and dumping so much of affection! Thank-you so much.

People I knew..for ages, and helped me grow..and never let me down..Thank you so so much!
People who let me down..ah..You've taught me a lesson, so you are a part of the above ones :).



Now, while I was writing this, one of my friends came home. I've gotta share it here..
The phone rang, and I was shocked to see him call at this time. Okay it's my birthday, but he'd be sleeping by now. And I was ordered to come downstairs! I was so shocked! He was telling me he had to do some job for his mom and all.I came down running. We caught up, and walked back to the terrace. I walked back inside the house..and when I came back..I saw the door to the terrace latched! What the hell!! And after sometime, they opened the door..all i could see were candles! My gosh! And he was sitting right there..beside the cake, with a guitar..:) I was so surprised! I ran into the house to get the knife..when i came back..I saw his cousin sitting down..waiting for me to cut the cake..Before I cut it, I was supposed to wish..as I wished..I could hear the guitar's strings strum a lovely tune..and he hummed a song..The sitting cousin, suddenly scratched a match..and there were colors in the sky! Rockets, flying in all directions! one at a time! As I watched..he pushed a present towards me...too many wrappers..at last, all I got was a fortune cookie and a toy! :P Another gift popped up! Shirts! My gosh! Is this how I wanted my day to start?? Terrific!
He was none other than my brother, friend, rock-solid support-Emmanuel! My tuition-mate. And his cousin, who looks like a bouncer at a Pub! :P
I was jumping with excitement! Couldn't imagine it would turn out this way! This will be the best birthday I ever had! Most memorable one!

Thank-you all for starting my day, ( not-yet started..:P but still!) terrifically!

Love you all,
Snigdha.
