Special Day...

It was past midnight and my cellphone started ringing. It was little unusual for me, as I generally do not get calls in the late night. Without bothering who it was, I received the call, rubbing my sleepy eyes. Heard a sweet voice from the other end saying, "Hey! Happy Birthday". It was my best friend; who had called to wish me!!.

6'O Clock my alarm started ringing, disturbing my pleasant sleep. As soon as I got up, had a weird feeling of having seen a dream. Tried hard to recollect about the conversation I had with my friend; but couldn't. Smiled at myself and accepted that it was just a dream.

To my surprise, there were 3 missed calls listing on my cellphone. Those were from my friends, who wanted to wish me early in the morning. In fact, much earlier than the morning. Thanks to my sleep, I had not heard the phone ring. Thought I would call them back once I get into my office bus and apologize for not receiving their call.

Remembering my dream again, out of curiosity, opened the call register of my phone. Guess what? I had indeed received 2 calls in the night and all that was NOT a dream!
Couldn't remember anything on the conversation I had; but the sweet voice was still echoing in my ears, as if, I heard it just now. That made my day!

The whole day was spent on receiving phone calls, SMSs, Scraps on Orkut, mails and personal wishes from colleagues(office friends) at office.

Adding to this, another special moment was when one of my sisters sang the "Happy Birthday" song for me over the phone. That was so sweet to hear!

Later in the evening, cake cutting party was arranged by my friends at office. I had to take three rounds of Birthday bums session before cutting the cake. Though it was painful, didn't realize much at that moment.

Reached home early as my Mother was cooking something special for dinner. Three of my friends gave a surprise visit[Actually, they drop-in every year and I had expected them] in the night. The atmosphere was so nice at home, filled with laughter and chatting.

I love surprises from friends, especially when they come home without any notice. It just shows how close they are and how comfortable they feel at my home.

Dinner was served and all of us simply enjoyed the food.
[My friends say, my Mother is an awesome cook. I don't think so; or 'may be']

Friends left after the dinner; their absence was felt with increasing silence in the night. Trying to recollect each and every moment of the entire day, I went (back) to sleep with tears of joys filled in my eyes.

What a beautiful day it was!

Thank you friends, you made this day so very special to me.
Love you all !!
