Birthday No 28

    It's a cold night on the 2nd of November and I decide to hit the sack. There was nothing planned for the birthday which was barely hours away. As Im about to catch the dreamland express, Yours truly s friend shakes me up and Gives me a hug and wishes me a Very Happy Birthday. Gosh ! I exclaim is it 12 already?  I glance at my watch and Im pleasantly surprised. It indeed is.
There is indeed a surpirse in store. In the cold night we put on our jackets and head to the 24 hr cafe in the community. We are litreally in our sleep but we end up ordering cold coffee and omlette to enjoy the night. Discussing the plan for the day. Yours truely`s friend an excellent observer of reptiles spots a rat near the curtain and brings to the waiters notice, who quickly gets rid of it.  The plan for the day  becomes the topic of discussion and its quarter past 1 when we call for the bill.

        

    As morning sets in birthday wishes in forms of calls and sms s flow in from friends family and well wishers. It does take awhile to answer the calls. As the birthday policy is observed, I never work on my birthday and rightly so, stay back at home and spend the rest of the morning quietly. As lunch is round the corner, we head to Gopalan Signature and im at a bowling game yet again.

    

We have cup noodles for lunch after the bowling game and then head back home.
Its been a quiet bday so far. The afternoon and evening race away. Then just before going out for dinner I cut my 28th cake much to the birthday song by my sweetheart and parents. After the cake is done we leave for dinner to Highnote and the sumptuous dinner becomes the swansong.


Its late night when we get back home that just leaves me enough time to pen down the events and call it a day. 

An Awesome Sunday well spent

    Its 10 AM and I wake up with an arm stretch followed by a yawn. I thought it was a boring Sunday to begin with until the plan begins to take shape as I head off to Gopalan Innovation Mall in a Taxi. The plan is that we have a game of bowling, have a long lunch spend some time at the arcade and then be on our way.
My friend Arun Informs me that he s bringing his friend over as I smile and agree the more the merrier. So as I make my way to the mall I realise yet again that Arun walks in with his friend and is fashionably late with a fancy as ever excuse for being so.
We begin with satisfying our primary urges and make a dash to the food court. Its a sumptous Mutton Biryani for me while my friends gorge on Veggie delights. Mutton Biryani goes well with Pepsi and so do the Vegetarian dishes served at the food court.
      
Pretty soon we are done with our lunch and
the bowling game starts. All of us are at loggerheads when it comes to the games and there is no love lost outside it. The tight game ends with Arun running away with the winners title while I come a close second.
The friend tags in third. Later on Ice Hockey is the order of the day resulting in my victory 9-6 in the Tri series final. The clock ticks away quickly and before you know it, it's time to say Goodbye. As friends say goodbye to each other and as my Taxi disappears from the mall, I realise that this day would be remembered no doubt as one of the best memories in my life. The Bowling Games, Leg pulling sessions and what not would go down into the chapters of history.
