You know its your birthday when

I knew it was my birthday when
  • I woke up early in the morning and told my room-mate, "Something is wrong --- I feel like bathing so early on a weekend!"
  • my orkut scrapbook and mailbox were flooded with messages from almost anyone I had contact with.
  • a whole bunch of friends suddenly showed up at lunchtime, invited me to some gully cricket and then also plastered my face with cake all of a sudden.
  • phone calls came at random times from around the world (okay, so there were only a couple of people from the US) wishing me on the occasion.
  • some old collegemates came during the evening and discussed and exchanged notes --- that was seriously one of the best gifts I could get: the human touch.
  • I gifted something to myself. Between all the humdrum in the evening, I quietly slipped out and went to the roof of the building with a little piece of cake in hand. Oh the night, the stars, the wind and the silence --- oh the full moon in all its heavenly glory. It was heavenly, really --- those 30 minutes I had with myself.
Damn... how do you guys keep blogging? This just seems so tedious at times. Maybe I should hibernate for six months.
