whats the big fuss about birthdays anyways...

For firsts, they're really good for you; the more you have the longer will you live. Second, they're supposed to be pre-decided optimistic days; for a change, we don't need to do anything to be happy, our parents have already done the needful. Thirdly, if you're turning 18, it opens a whole new world for you, that is only if you haven't already seen, drank, experienced or lost it. And then there are the hugs, the kisses, the gift, the surprises... now who would not want that! So I guess, the question shouldn't be 'whats the big fuss about Birthdays?', but rather 'why can't I get more than one birthday?'

They're amazing days. Even more if you've friends who are there to wish you at 12, those who'll spend the entire day with you 3 days before their exams, who will make the most amazing hand-made cards and gifts, who will beg, borrow or steal to make sure that the 'dryness' of our state doesn't affect the party, who will study for 3 days before so that they can attend your party, who will play the same song over and over again on his guitar just because it cheers you up, who will reach your party half an hour after landing from another city, those who actually make you feel like Superman, who in spite of being your senior refuse to let go off your side, who're always there to share a pint while watching a Man U match, who has been your dancing partner even though you dance like a monkey, who has always been there and worked even for your past birthdays to make sure each and every birthday is as perfect it can get (best things do come in the smallest of proportions) and who will delay his birthday by 20 days just because he wants to celebrate it with you.

The place might have been beautiful, the water would have been just the way it should be, the cake cutting couldn't have been better, the weather was awesome, the party wasn't dry ;), the gifts couldn't have been better... but for me, you guys made it perfect. Thanks a lot for being there.
