Hey, that last post was long, didn't realise till one of my friends fell asleep on the keyboard reading it! How could i write so less about something that mattered so much!
No one had enough of time, or patience, or interest, to finish reading it, i suppose....
And that was the end of the ashram episode. The next day happened to be my 18th birthday.
It wasn't a big bash, but i celebrated it in a way, i never though was normal. My phone rang off the hook, and i felt so nice. Most of the people from the ashram called, even though i didn't tell them it was my birthday!
Midnight was the best time! got 5 calls consecutively!
ok, that may not mean much to whomsoever is reading this, but it is to me! The thought that 5 people actually wanted to be the first to wish me means a lot.
Being with my family on my birthday actually has a blessing in itself. In almost all of my other birthdays either i wasn't home, or one of my parent's weren't home, or something else always came up. But this time, it was in silent agreement, and my birthday was at home.
Mom made one of my favorite dishes, spaghetti with sauce, made just the way i like it, with garlic bread. I couldn't believe that once upon a time i went bonkers cause it was my 13th birthday!
I even wrote what and all i'd do on my 18th birthday! Nothing ever became reality.
Overall, a great day, and i felt great to be alive.
The ONLY thing that burst my bubble, was, after all the wishes came the "so what do you plan to do next?" question.
People do care....but why do those questions have to come when theyr'e the last thing i want on my mind?
We also had to pack, we were leaving that night to chennai, then kolkata, and then ahmedabad.
So, here ends this post, may14th
