My 21st birthday... full of blasts

Year 2012 has been the most memorable year for me so far. No wonder my 21st birthday falls this year full of bangs.

I was not really excited about my birthday. For the first time, I did not really keep tab on any dates. It was only when I realized that my parents are excited for my birthday that I started showing some enthusiasm. Nonetheless, I wanted to spend the birthday alone and in peace.

Faru had some other plans. She had already planned with Sonam to take me out for lunch. But I did not want to go. Anyway, we went for shopping which was a disaster. No matter how much I liked wearing dresses, all those that I liked and wanted to buy wouldn't look good on me. Anyway, ended up buying two pair of shoes instead. Mahi from Mahi Way did mentione, no matter what, shoe size doesnt change.

I had hidden my birthday from facebook, trying to remain a little low on my birthday but my sister's various facebook tags created an uproar on facebook. It was sweet though. I was still waiting to hear from a couple of my friends. And I was waiting desperately.

Next morning I did receive birthday wishes from the friends I was waiting to hear from. One of them even called me and we ended up chatting for an hour. It was a disappointment though to hear that he plans to continue his further study in India itself. Nonetheless, I did tell him that I was disappointed but I guess, it is okay. He is a sweetheart. Will talk about him later.

My friend Sonam came over bringing tons of beautiful presents for me. Some Tibetan goodies alongwith a card and a bottle of wine. I just loved the wine. I ended up breaking my diet rules that day but it was all good. Had awesome dinner - dal makhani, roasted chicken, tortillas along with wine, and different preparations of vodka.

Watched Andaz Apna Apna, halfway through, followed by Tashan. Yes, Tashan. I told you this birthday was full of bangs. Some good, some weird.

It was weird because other than people who should wish me, there were also people who were actually texting or calling me to wish me in addition to using facebook. My brothers in law, especially. And the funniest thing was, almost everyone who called and wished me actually sang the happy birthday song for me.My birthday was celebrated in two different continents. My sister, my cousin and her husband, my dad- actually treated people on my birthday. My dad asked teh servant to make my favorite aloo, puri and suji halwa for guests while my jiju tried his hands on a new recipe for his friends. My mom went to Shirdi to pray for me.
It was all so sweet.

Even Scroogie texted me early in the morning and that was a pleasant surprise because this year I did not wish him properly. I just facebooked him and I am pretty sure my wish got lost somewhere in his timeline.

Sounds like a good day, so what went wrong? I rather not mention it here.
I just wish everything turns out to be fine, I wish my dad gets well soon and all his wishes are fulfilled. This is my birthday wish for this up coming year.
