Today, 14 years of my life have passed.This year is surely going to be great.It's just that intuition of mine.However, last year was great too.13 wasn't that bad.They say 13 is unlucky ,but last year was great except for some sad events; the death of my grandfather, great-grandmother and another grandfather.Except for these events, last year was wonderful.
In this post though, I will write about today's celebrations.
Obviously, I was awake at 12 in the morning.I slept in my favorite room in my grandparent's house with my favorite blanket.I could hear sounds from the street.Birds, vehicles and wind.Wind blowing fast yet, gently.And then, the two beeps of my watch sounded.It was 12.I was now 14 years old.I took around 9 minutes making my resolutions for this year which, I prefer to be kept discreet.Momentarily later, I was asleep.
It was 7 o'clock in the morning when my cousin woke me up.And as I aroused, Swami Vivekananda's maxim; "Arise, Awake and stop not till you reach your goal" echoed in my mind.I seriously don't know why.
At a quarter to 8, I was in the wedding hall.I came here, to Mysore to attend a wedding; my uncle's.It was coincidently on my birthday.I spent an eternity inside the hall.I talked to my cousins and sister and thanked all those who wished me.I met all of my relatives-close and far.The atmosphere in the hall was lively.I also met my uncle whom I dearly call "Madhu mama".
It was now around 1 and the sun was scorching.Little did I know that a surprise awaited me.A brobdingnagian cake was brought in right after lunch.For a moment, I was speechless.Then, all my close relatives gathered around me as I, on the stage, cut the cake and fed it to my grandparents.The cake was then taken behind the backdrop and then cut into slices.Then, everyone ate the cake.
This year's celebrations were different.It was usually with my friends.Now, with my family, it was different altogether.However, it was somewhat better in my opinion.Celebrating with one's family is just different.It had been 10 years since I last celebrated my birthday with my family.Now, being older, emotions filled into me as I cut the cake.Of happiness, gratitude and every sort of positive feeling.
This single day is enough to keep me happy throughout the coming years and ahead.
After celebrating, I came back home.I watched two movies.I really didn't have much to do.First was one of my favorites "Return to the 36th chamber" and the second another of my favorites "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone".After that, I just walked here and there in my house.
At around 7 o'clock, my Mom took me out to eat.What did I eat? After six long months, I ate what I longed for most-Masala Puri.A street chaat you can only find in Mysore.I ate two plates full.Both at different places.My stomach being full, I returned home.
Shortly thereafter, my grandfather took me out to buy sweets.I bought a big box of my favorite sweet "Peda".In my opinion, Nandini Peda is the best.
I then came home and waited for my grandmother (the best chef in the world) to finish cooking.She had prepared Pulav as I had asked her to.I ate till gravity pulled very strong on my stomach.
After eating, I just sat.I watched the television which is always on at this time as everyone's (not mine though) favorite show "Bigg Boss" is broadcasted.
After this, I write my blog.And that's what I'm doing right now.And now that I'm done blogging today's events, I reckon it's time to sleep.Bonne nuit!
