It was my birthday...

I don't know what time it was... I couldn't even realize where I was... It was quite dark... I couldn't see anything... but i could feel that there is some disturbance... which breaks the silence which was there until some seconds back... Some sound that is interrupting my state of mind... Something passes thru my ears and disturbing my mind... I was finding hard to open my eyes... then, suddenly i woke up! It was my phone that was ringing... I hardly moved to reach my mobile and tried to see who was calling...

"Santhosh Calling"

I could hardly see the blinking display on my mobile phone. I tried to see what time it was. The sleep that was left in my eyes blurs my vision. It was exactly midnight 12.00am of 5th November 2006!

"Hi..." I picked up the phone....

"Happy birthday da...", I felt so happy when i heard his voice... It was nice to have him as the first person to wish me on my birthday. The talk continued for some minutes.

Then when i hanged up the phone, a message arrived at my mobile saying "wishing you a very happy birthday paul", followed by another phone call saying "hey happy birthday..."

I really felt very good inside my mind that there are persons who thinks about me... and remembers me and my birthday... there are some persons who wakes up till mid-night to wish me warm greetings...

With lots of happiness in the mind i slept at that time and woke up in the morning a little early than usual and went to Church.

I started getting lot of calls from my friends and relatives on that day wishing me happy birthday.

When i got a call from my home, i could hear that my sister is singing happy birthday song for me over phone and i could also hear some musics played from her side... I was so excited and emotionally felt so happy inside for the kind of affection, love and care that my sisters, my mom and my brother-in-law having on me...

A week before itself, my sisters, my mom and brother-in-law have presented me a gold ring for my birthday which really made me so happy... In fact, i dont like wearning things like that but i love to wear the ring that they presented to me. That always makes me to remember that there are few persons in this world who thinks 'i am their world'. It makes me to remember 'I am so special and gifted with some persons who truely loves me and shows great affection and care towards me'. I feel very happy and glad inside whenever i feel the ring at my finger.

I even get calls from some friends whom i have never even thought that they would know my birthday. It showed that I really have some persons who remembers me. In fact, i started getting calls on 4th of November itself wishing me advance wishes for my birthday saying they might not able to call me on my birthday. That really made me to feel so very much happy that how much they truely like to wish me. Of course, some of my friends didn't call me whom i expected that they would remember my birthday... Perhaps they might be busy with their schedules... But i was glad to get some calls from some unexpected friends... that was great!

I felt that it is really good to have relationship with some persons who truely cherrish our friendship and makes us so happy on some special days... I was so glad on that day... I truely enjoyed my moments... I didnt go outside, but simply sitting at my room and enjoying the moments of getting wishes from my friends...
