That session was followed immediately by a soulful rendering of "Happy Birthday" again, with an added bonus - the Tamil version. Drop by on your birthday for more details! Then came the cake - a big group had gathered around it, and everyone lifted the lid of the cake, only to drop it in a hurry. A hushed tone fell over the proceedings as I neared the place, while people looked at each other, each pointing at another. I opened the lid, to find the following words written...
"Happy Birthday Sharu! (Ladies Man)"
There are worse ways to get teased in public, I would say! Anyway, after a brief break when I beat up the guy who was responsible for that nonsense, the proceedings resumed. Another brilliant card from two classmates who I bore to death everyday, and the Coup De Grace was a special, hand-painted "Reverse Glass Painting" of Krishna.
Needless to say, I was in heaven. I treated everyone present at Juicy and Bakery, simultaneously making the Juicy Akka and the Bakery people feel extremely excited about this generous idiot who was giving them awesome business... and then left to the Basketball court for another round of bums + cake from the team.
Later, I treated a few people at Sangeetha's, and towards the end of the meal was further surprised by a really sweet card! With a grin plastered on my face, I went back to hostel. Yet the day was not over, as another completely unexpected wish, and yet another one in the wee hours of the next morning ensured that the smile didn't go anywhere.
It was, like a card said, the perfect birthday. Loads of love to all of you who made it possible! The tough part, of course, was waking up the next day a normal person. With friends like this, you'd have a year between two birthdays, instead of a birthday after every year...
