But what the calender told me this morning, separated all such childish feelings from me... I've turned 18 !!!! Being an Indian citizen I'm now an ADULT...eligible for a voter's card...in line for a driving license too..I felt a sudden pang of responsibilities hitting my shoulders. This feeling of turning 18 is unexplainable..somehow turning 18 and becoming BIG always remained synonymous for me.
Well, actually the day..this day when I've ACTUALLY turned 18 (hard to beleive yet), was quite full of surprises, when sharp at 12:00 am my cell phone rang displaying a call from an unkwon number. I was shocked to learn who they were? Yes, this call was not from a single person, but 6 friends of mine connected in a conference call. And I received wishes one after another, surprisingly. Those crazy friends of mine even recorded that 8 minute chat of our's. :)
Later, the day went smooth with me glued to the phone most of the time. I beleive that one's birthday is the only day when most of all the people in the world you know, tend to call to wish you :D .
My special day met with another lovely surprise in the late evening. I was gifted a cute, small baby-rabbit by my nephew and neice, which became one of the best gifts I've ever got!.
Last but certainly not the least, I was pleasantly shocked (yes, that way actually :D) when i saw my sister standing outside the door.
I had a little dinner party with my cousins and other family members and my face was decorated with cake all over :)
It was a beautiful day of surprises and a little (very little) disappointment because of a few people who didn't wish me. But undoubtedly, I know their wishes will always be with me! I missed my mom the most. 18 years ago, she brought me into this world and gifted me this life. Maa, wherever you are, just know that I love you and I really miss you!
That was all for my special day. I'll be back soon. Keep clicking :)
