Quite unusual as they might sound, the gifts were really not commonplace yet extremely soothing.
Firstly, i’ve finally learned to swim. Yippiiiiii !!! Being an atheist and hence the fear of god not being there, the only thing that truly frightened the shit out of me was water. Well i’ve finally conquered that fear to some extent. Hugely catalysed by kanu, potol, tushar da and katu’s greater enthusiasm compared to mine, they have finally made me a swimmer.
Secondly, Sachin Tendulkar(“GOD”) makes me happy yet again - thanks to the lack of innovative cricketing shows on Neo Cricket that makes them to inevitably fall back on cricket highlights reliving a vestige India’s cricketing glory. The historic test match where India beat England chasing a total of 387 - who can forget dat match.
That glimpse of my “GOD” just prior to my birthday made dis day doubly special. Anyone who remembers the facial expression on a groundstaff’s wife after the match as
she shook hands with “GOD” would understand wat “GOD” embodies in india (well i would deliberately not want to say what it embodies only to give poor sceptics a room for their
crooked interpration :-P). It’s sometimes a pity that “GOD” is an Indian, a country
where some people find special bliss in implementing the famous words – “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown”. Neways, thanks Generator Observer Destroyer for my day more special.
Neways, birthday no longer brings out that juvenile enthusiasm in me. Take for example the event that now i’m listening to Linkin Park, a band that i don’t really like too much, just because i wanted to listen to something different. However it felt good blogging after so many days – no wonder i’m a bad blogger !
