:)

At 11:45 last night, I gathered my mobile, cordless phone and other aids of communication lying about the house, and settled down with some pillows in front of the TV for a sleepless night ahead. I was joyous for two reasons - One, in exactly a quarter of an hour I would complete 15 years of ruthless consumption of the planet's oxygen, and two, several people had hinted that they wanted to share this proud moment with me - exactly when the cuckoo clock struck twelve.

However, the poor sleep deprived soul that I am, I slipped into a beautiful slumber, dreaming about gift wrapped Twilight books and imported perfumes sitting on my table. I woke up only at 12:30. No missed calls. No messages. From anyone! I felt really vain and idiotic, sitting there with so many phones but not a soul to talk to. Where were those several people?? Thinking that there would soon be a new addition to my list of most disappointing birthdays, I returned to my dream.

But guess what? The celestial bodies governing my destiny changed their minds, and this turned out to be my BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!! I'll share the details with you later...too occcupied with today's events! :P

Well, Belated happy birthday!
And skimming through your blog, I find it very very engrossing!
It's rare to find blog's with childish emotions in them and I should tell I really liked it!

Well, be a bit regular towards posting (I can understand your situation though!, coming to the 'X'th means a heck lot of pressure!

And I found the description about your Sanskrit madam and The Principal extremely hilarious!
Keep up the good work!

I'm following your blog right away!
Cheers!

Thanks a ton for visiting my blog!

wow happy birthday! =]
mine's coming soon too. w00t. power to me.
in answer to your question, THINK, DETERMINE, WEIGH, ELIMINATE. taking bio and living to see a great result is of great satisfaction, but the path is very tricky and convoluted. it's two years of blood sweat and tears literally.
