Birthday This year...

twenty six candles glowing big on the cake.. who wants to cut that cake!
Mid twenties.. going towards higher side of twneties.. Not a very good idea I suppose! 26 years and I hardly realised before i reached this landmark! I have lived one thirds of my life( assuming 75 to be my bucket kicking deadline) not doing anythign significant :) and am not sure if in the remaining years I will do something! may be I will try given my laziness doesnt run ahead of me as it always does!
Birthdays stopped exciting me some 4 years back.. even the gifts dont seem to make up for the getting older feeling! There were times when I used to get soo excited about my bday and plan for it 2 months ahead and keep reminding people of the things I wanted as gifts :) The best part of the bday was the new dress, the special treatment all day, evening party with frens and oooooh those glittering pack of gifts! How much i waited for my friends to leave and controlled the temptation rising within to open those gifts!!! I used to guess what they had got for me based on the shapes and the packing.
The gifts also aged with me, from pencil boxes to hair bands to nail polishes to handbags to blue topaz gold rings to a Microwave oven :)

Actually I was even excited on my sisters bday for the sheer pleasure of sharing her gifts and opening them before she could! Well I never shared my bday gifts with her! elder sisters are supposed to be like that sharing and caring no matter what their lil sisters do! :) I insisted on getting a new dress on her bday too and even more a better dress than hers.. I even cut her cake once with her.. For the perfect sis she is, she never complained! Love you di..
