Happy birthday dude!

Today's fortune: Today you will see a fortune cookie that you have never seen before.
- Orkut

Orkut is sometimes right. Tenth of March '09 not only marked special occasions like Holi and Milad-e-Nabi, but also the aging of a simple earth descendant who seldom celebrates it. It all started with a simple albeit very special greeting card sent by Sundar (My first ever B'day greeting :) ) which was later followed by a series of surprising events accounting to a wonderful day. When the clock tower at the Allahabad observatory showed twelve, my mobile phone released high frequency sounds which we often call as "Ringing tone". I was surprised and elated to see my friends wishing me at the stroke of mid-night. I knew everyone was tired after returning home from work place, But still they stood awake just to wish me - How nice?!! :) .. Thanks everyone!! And, It's certainly a great delight to hear a happy birthday song sung for you at the stroke of mid-night, that too on a conference call. Thanks to Rad, Rat and Sangi and Oh, Thanks Mr.Mozart for such a lovely composition (Although this one sounded like a typical Yuvan. A reprise? Oh well :P). Soon in minutes, I went to sleep, happily. The next day, as usual I woke up late and hastened to office. I was thinking whether to goto office or not because I had to goto my college in the evening for my graduation day. I know about my college, they strictly follow the "IST". I thought I could goto office and leave from there, and so I went. Whatever happened at my office is just indescribable, or at least to me, it is. I got my first ever b'day cake... An exquisite shirt... A photoframe - enamoring souvenir!!! Thanks a lot guys!! (If there is any other better word to express my gratitude, I'd be happy to use that.. )

Love you all.
Visu.
