My computer is dead and I'm on my laptop, so I'm just going to copy paste my entry from my blog.

The birthday was a blast. I didn't expect it to be so much fun. I guess some things are better that way. And it doesn't feel all that bad really. Two decades is a long time and damn, I feel good about it. Thanks to all for the birthday wishes

Went to lonavala with family in the morning. It was an unusually sunny day, with the rains playing a bit of hide and seek (and winning in the end) and playing the spoilsport. Anyway the drive was fun, and spending time there with family was totally worth it. I wasn't too disappointed about the rains, because a friend did message and tell me it rained where she was. So all wasn't lost, after all.

Took friends out dinner in the evening. Was a sort of last-minute thing as I hadn't really planned on celebrating the birthday but decided to go ahead with it. It felt really great to finally catch up with friends, reminisce the old times and enjoy some good food. It did get a bit chaotic somewhere in the middle, but it was all good .

Oh, and I got a lot of spiffy stuff as gifts.

My school friends gifted me a really trippy plasma lamp. It looks brilliant in the dark. You can see it here: [link]

My college friends gifted me a copy of Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. Very, very awesome in my opinion. You can see it here: [link]

Apart from that, one of my other friends gifted me a copy of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years Of Solitude. My folks gave me some much needed dough and my bro bought me a spankin' new Nokia 3220.


It was probably one of the best birthdays I've had in a long time and a perfect way to kick start the new decade. I feel rather lucky to have a great family and a great bunch of friends. I'm definitely doing to remember this birthday for a long, long time.



And something to think about: Bombay is the rudest city in the world: Survey
