Yahoooooo – happy birthday to meeeee. As I complete mortal 23 years & close to ten months in USA, surely is a good reason to celebrate!!! Yuppie…

How was my 1st birthday in USA? Well, I have been asked this question (feels like) close to million times now by all friends and family, back home, In India. So what’s better then describing it here… for all to read!!

To start with, I started getting calls from friends a day ahead (Indian Standard Time) actually. I was trying to prepare for the Tuesday Mol Bio quiz (terror) at UGL and was sprung up with phone calls, only to realize my birthday has started =) All of a sudden, the fire alarm goes on we are all asked to vacate the library.. I wonder whether it was a hoax alarm or actually something happened, but I least bothered to go back…

Next comes the best part, the pampering Well, that’s what friends are for.. I guess I’d the opportunity to get my friends do anything for me, whatever I wanted… LOL, couldn’t have got much better or worse later… Birthday bumps (just wiki’ed it, interesting ways to give bumps, like pulling the ear lobes ) It is now a tradition amongst all the residents of DeRoy Apartments to bash up the birthday boy (oh mannn, it pains!! x-( ). And literally, the beating makes the poor scapegoat so miserable that he actually curses himself, either for being at DeRoy on the birthday or still worst… being born in the first place at all. Jokes apart, I kinda enjoyed it later, the pangs of pleasure and pain. The best though is the birthday cake. You get a chance to cake bathe, iced up of course with all good kitchen food, from coke to chocolate syrup to ketchup to turmeric powder to eggs to ranch to vegetable oil.. you think of anything and you’ll find it on the birthday boy/girl. Guys, I have still better worse ideas so now my friends BEWARE.

At the end of the day (wasn’t it tooo short), here I am trying to put down a few things I need to change or do (which includes more blogging amongst the top one’s). I actually can’t think of a way of thanking my roommates and friends for making this day fun! My first birthday here… Thanks folks!!!

Pictures awaited.
