Birthday Boy !!!

It's Monday morning and people are getting ready to start a new week, with the last day of the year, as I lay in my bed "just born" trying to open my eyes. It's neither a hangover from the drinks I had last night nor the warmth of the blanket that is not letting me get up. But it's the feeling of just born that's making me lay down still in my bed and reminisce all those 26 beautiful years. Yes, you got it right, I am 26 now.

26 years and I still feel I don't have many ideas to write this post. Damn!!! It's my birthday and you want me to write something sensible here. I am gone crazy as I write this one. I am playing a game of Pool online and somehow I am feeling happy even if I loose (well you need balls to beat me, doesn't matter where you have them). I have called up a lot of people yesterday just to make sure they know it's my birthday and now I am just counting how many of them called back.

Birthday is actually fun. When you are a kid you are allowed to wear casuals to school and then an exempt from the homework for a day. You spend all the time with your family preparing for the birthday party in the evening, when all your friends come in and they clap enthusiastically, as if it were their own b'day. You feel and see yourself as an elite member in that group of kids. You have yours parents holding your hands while you cut the cake and all the kids anxiously look forward to having a dash at the cake.

When you are a teenager you spend the evening with your friends at a local restaurant or a local coffee shop and may go out for a dinner with your parents.

And then when you are finally grown up, you spend your b'day throwing a party to all your friends.

I don't know what to write, I am all short of ideas today. I am the Birthday boy !!!
