Happy Birthday!!!

This weekend was my quarter century b'day and I cannot think of anything perfect than how it went. Compared to usual, my birthday celebrations started a day before. I had scheduled lunch out with my closest buddies at Garmin. Among everyone I chose Liz, Radhika, Dilusha, Sarah, Brian and Abhish. Each of them have cared and still care for me so much and have always been there for help. Another plus was though each one was from a different department in Garmin, they know a lot about each other through me and I don't have to introduce and make them know about each other. We all went to Pei Wei, an Asian diner. It was fun 90 minutes lunch with all of them. The best part of the lunch was me wearing the dress I stitched along with Liz. Without her idea and help, I could not have even come up with this dress worth just $2.50. I love dresses and it somehow suited me well than I thought it would. I wore it on Friday just to surprise her and make her happy and yes she did. that million dollar worth smile i s nothing compared to the effort I put in

Around midnight I got few of my friends coming over with a cake (the cake was chocolate fudge make and tasted awesome). They spent around 45mins with me and it was fun talking crap as usual :-P. I had some 10 people call me to wish me. Thanks to them for remembering and doing so. Even my friend from Finland, cousin from England and a friend from India called me(not bad I had international well wishers too :-D).

Then next day morning phones started pouring in right from 8:30am and somehow I felt I was talking non-stop for the next few hours until lunch time came where I made rajma n paratha and ate it while talking to friends. Somehow evening came and I had sent out a mail to some friends asking them out on a dinner in an Indian rest if they are free. around 6 had replied and I went for the same at 7:30. We all had a wonderful dinner (totally fulfilling) and to my surprise margi had got another cake and I cut it at the end of the dinner...Now this was surprising knowing I had already cut one midnight..was really sweet of her. We then came out of the restaurant and nearly talked for an hour before we headed to our houses. I was happy this day and that what counts. I don't have to do something special all coz it was my birthday. I did exactly what I like to do and it got me enuf happiness.

On Sunday, it was raining all morning and it just stopped suddenly and the sun popped out and it turned out to be a wonderful day to be outside. so I headed out to the zoo with my friend coz I knew our zoo was pretty small that I can cover it in 3.30 hrs before it closes at 4pm. Yahoo1 I did make it and completed the whole trail of the zoo close to 3 hrs. Was a looooong walk but was worth with the wonderful wind after the showers stopped.

This weekend was very perfect and there's gonna be more coming next weekend when my niece Niyati is celebrating her 2nd b'day!!! Watch out for a blog on that very soon!
