My Last Gift for my 24th Birthday!!!!

I got a Courier on 21st Aug 09.. Well ya was much awaited!!! Mom gave it to me n i opened it!!! It read:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWAPNA :)
HOPE YOU LIKE IT

-- SRK :p

I just couldnt contain my excitement.. Had to call up my Cellular network guys to get my ISD activated for half hour..
I simply loved it..

15 August 09 Amazingly weird but truly memorable. :) :) big smiles ..Thanks to all

Had a dairy of mine long back, and remember me scribbling about my Bday... Read it now n laugh. My 15th birthday n how I was crying... about how sick everything is... Now wonder 9 yrs have passed and I still celebrate and look forward to my bday like ever. now that it has happened 24 times i shouldn be.. infact I am growing way too old... The day was just tooo normal like every year.. My frnds called it a ritual of every year where they come down to eat South Indian food to ma place. I remember a year when 15 ppl had dropped in to celebrate my special day.. N since then year the no of ppl have just gone reducing...(wonder why this props up everytime I end up writing)
I got up n as I knew I got mom n dads gift.. GOLD n lots of it.. I didn like it as usual n cribbed abt the same.. Mom got pissed, finally had to wear it for her sake(wore the earring for 4 days at stretch accolades..) I got dressed wore a nice skirt n mom pingd in again "Its looking bad change it" n rest.. Man i was pissed.. Then ppl who were to turn up didn n I wasn even concerned, was over the Phone itself for long..In short I was just too irritated... Then sandy finally said let me cheer u up n he gave me his gift a Dress.. I saw it n i said u got me Curtains(Linen)?? Situation was just heading to... Then my frnds came in n they gave me their gift.. I saw the box n said FASTRACK??? I so knew before opening it will be a disaster(not coz they got it ok.. watches dont fit me well as i have a very small wrist all end up looking way too big) I wore it n i was like how do i wear this.. CHANGE!!!!!
Next I left to pick Ritu up n I pushed my friend out of Driver's seat n got me on the steering. Poor guys had to bear my temper.. I drove well(30kms/hr being the speed LOL)The drive did cheer me up n I was way too hungry by then .. had a great lunch n was lousing around all afternoon at home. It was evening n I had plans of dinner.. Idiot Rohan left saying I'l be back in a hour... that is 6.30.. Mayur said sorry M HOUSE ARRESTED,. Ritzy me n Sandy wouldn ever forget the time which followed.. I just kept getting Msgs.. sorry bike Puncture 15 mins delay.. So sorry Swap got to go for a Puja.. 30 mins delay.. M sorry M stuck.. 15 mins... Kisi aur ka car hai kya??? N m coming plzzz don kill me M coming...
3 of us just did Nothng n Nothng n Nothng n more Nothng.. no idea which mood or depressant we had consumed... We had no head or tail to our discusions.. Opps I dont think we had any discussions... Lol..Amazingly weird we survived !!!! We were just way tooo bugged n all wanted to leave n grab a drink.. N yaaa Dry day!!!! Finally Our Driver arrived!!! just about 2 hrs15 mins late.. I hit him so bad....
We were all looking for wine shops... n wht not like all major Drunkards... We stopped at a Juice bar thinking it was a sidy bar lol!!!! Finally who says Dry Days Exist??? We had our Stock n we were heading for.... well where were we heading???
I had called Ashu at Hinjewadi.. poor chap got stuck in between our stupidity.. I made him sit in our small car b that too in the back seat n the middle!!! :) We went down to some village nearby n landed up at an open area where the only people alive were V all. Cut my cake which had a cracker candle... Amidst no where.. no city lights.. no loud traffic noises.. no oh my life,.. Happy Birthday to me...This was a treasurable moment...
We drank our beer n had a fun time.. I had a deadline to reach bak home n we left.. Enroute we take a different lane.. N we at our Bridge.. The car Halted n I stepped out!!! Was staring at the water beneath n I was called Swap I turned n I could see Gifts wrapped in all the possible colours.. Man was I zapped n it started 1..2..3.. 4....13....... 15..18... 22!!!! I had 3 huge Goodie bags!!! N yaa cake n watch so thats 24!!!!! My mouth was wide open.. Couldn believe what had just happened...
I turned 24!!!!!

Snehaa

I always knew I had to have a blog with her special mention.. Can be a testimonial for her too...
Miss SNEHAPREETI GOPINATH.
all who know me would know her as my Beshtestfriend!!!!
My birthday n all i can remember Sneha n her love for my cake..she knew chocolate cake from bakers hut will be rite there.... She used to hang around with me the entire day (nothng new all lukkha days). Dress up like its her birthday more than mine(PS my clothes too again nothng new). Pose with my flowers... n wht not...
Years have passed since we first saw each other as teenagers in school uniforms with two plats :). We used to take the same school bus.. n how we used to walk daily all the way to the bus stop one behind the other and never talk... Finally Sne decided to break the ice.. came down to talk.. Little did she or I kno wht was slotted for us later.... It was the yr 2000. We went for Marathi tutions and how she used to study and ask me to study for our boards...One afternoon she said Swap heights u should study tu kuch nahi kar rahi hai.. marks kam aayenge TV baadme dekh sakti hai... u like my mom is what I told her.. but trust me my 10 marks owe it to her..
Almost a Decade by now!! n it still feels like yesterday!! All our cute little things!! The way we alwaz digged each other wardrobes or else envied each others stuff and also STEAL the ones we liked!! Only to inform like a year later I have this top of urs which by any ways u don remember about so its mine now!! N yaaa to follow go and steal it rite back even if u don ever wana wear it again!!We didn mind stealing someone's bag too. Man I think the only time we have ever been so girly ever. We have went Gaga about so many things of ours nothing remains known to be written about types.
May be the whole thing about growing up and u have ur best buddy is something which is so unique in itself thts why it becomes so Invaluable!! We always consoled each other be it things which we scarcely faced and which by the way were so so stupid like our colony politics and how it was such a huge huge thing now those issues seem so petty, Barely had we ever thought of a time when we wont be around, untill we both had our paths!! I moved out colony!! n then she movin outta country!! Its been one hella of a time together and its just beyond words!! We aint the friends who u kno can be labeled as seen together alwaz doing same stuff falling for the same guys etc!! We both alwaz were n would alwaz be 2 different people with different choices n preferences!! It hardly triggered any tiffs between us though, we alwaz liked the differences as we did hav 2 different opinions on all issues.
Having someone like her is alwaz been such a relief factor coz u kno u would always have a partner in crime(now that i think about there are so so many to quote). Also in serious notes the fact that no matter who all walk in and exit, someone is stagnant and to have that someone like her is truly a blessing!!! Would always treasure our times more than any other coz they simply worth it!!!
