A very special birthday this year

I didn't knew I would be so much celebrated this birthday. It came to be four times I blew off the candle and cut the cakes.

All started from the office team lunch at Absolute Barbeque on 4th Sept. We are a strength of 30 team members and I have been working with my team since 2 years.  After we had our sumptuous lunch it was sweet surprise to see a birthday cake in front of me. I was made to wear a birthday cap and cut the cake. My colleagues then cheered and clapped singing birthday song. I felt very excited and happy.

The next cake cutting was with my roommates at room. It has been ten years of association with my roommates as we are same college pass-outs and even the same company recruit. They had arranged for dinner and cake for my birthday night on 6th Sept. But before the actual time to cut cake, I found them sleepy and hence proposed to cut cake early at 11 30. We did cake cutting, singing and photography. Birthday cake pics and greeting were posted in our college group of Whatsapp and I received many more birthday wishes.

The next day was my Birthday morning at 7th Sept, when I took sweets for my team members. My colleagues wished me both at Hyderabad and Bangalore office locations. During the evening time, we had a get together to celebrate the birthdays which falls in the current month. Luckily for me it was celebrated on the same day as no one else has birthday in the September. We had the cake cutting, soft drinks and snacks arranged. The team did not spare me birthday bumps and applying cake on my face.

With all the celebrations and wishes I happily returned from office.  I went to Bacchi di's home at Hyderabad. We know each other by our common roots being born in Andaman. I had guessed that she too would have arranged birthday cake. But the surprise was the gift. She gave me a t-shirt. Found it of my size and very comfortable to wear. Cake cutting and playing with the kids before a delicious dinner prepared by her of my choice.

Later, I returned home at 11 pm.

It was a very busy day. Many peoples to meet and many birthday wishes and greetings. In spite, being away from my parents and neither being active on social networks, I had such a wonderful birthday.

Thank you all my friends and folks for making my birthday so special !

Nine simple but strong quotes for happiness ~

~It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.

~If you are sad you are wrong; if you are joyful you are right.

~The existence loves you, otherwise you would not be here. Relax into your being, you are cherished by the whole.

~Life is not a tension anywhere except in the minds of humanity.

~Happiness is an art that one has to learn. It has nothing to do with your doing or not doing, being or not being.

~There has never been a person like you before, there is nobody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you.

~You are a great problem-creator. Just understand this and suddenly problems disappear. This very moment you can drop all problems because they are your creation.

~Happiness is not conditional; nothing is needed to be happy. Only to be alive is needed — and that you are, you already are.

~You can become happy just by deciding to be happy.

Osho~

A fast with a beer

For quite sometime now, I have been willing to fast to keep my body feel light atleast for a day. And, to recover from all the extra food and toxins my body has been gloating since long.  Also, I wanted to test my perseverance of resisting the temptations which my mind often succumb to.

So you see, by this I examined my will power . Both at physical and mental levels. So far, I have been successful. Thereby, I celebrated in the evening with a bottle of Beer. No food and only water for the entire day, helped the beer tranquilize my nerves easily. I was quick to reach high followed by a sound sleep. Though it's not a solution, but it worked to relieve my mind from the thought of someone I developed attachment to.

The day now is near end. By the time I go to sleep, I have another meal to resist. Ending the note here with a cheer for the fast with a beer.

Caution :

Fasting with a beer is very harmful for health. On empty stomach, alcohol affects blood faster than usual. This in-turn negatively impacts the liver and kidneys. It is always suggested to eat a bit of greasy food while taking alcohol and to drink plenty of water.
