6 years

Cheers to over 6500 shots, to those 2 scary incidents, to the last 6 years (hopefully to the next 60 too) and to every second spent discovering the Superman within... It still feels like a blessing in disguise.


















Thank you Mom and Dad for never trying this.

birthday therapy

Is there anything like a perfect timed disaster? I'd have answered no 3 weeks ago... now I shall say, yes, there is.

Amongst the very many activities or tasks that us humans deem as therapeutic, I think birthdays have to top the list. Of course music helps, so does reading and/or writing... various other sorts of bodily indulgences along with a few gaseous or liquid intoxicants can always turn a frown upside down; and of course nothing like a month's pay check written off at a mall while shopping to color away those blues. But then all of this on one side while birthdays on the other, the later shall still tip the scale by a transparent margin. They're like a day long guilt free pass given by Bhrama himself, giving one automatic redemption in form off forgiven sins and ignored mistakes.

I might have exaggerated a wee bit when I mentioned 'disaster' earlier. It wasn't really a disaster, but more like a plan; one which was almost certain and bound to happen... but rotten luck hit, shit happened and a dream nurtured over 6 months has to be flushed down the tubes. If I had to scribble about this a week back, the post would've been reflected a sad, suicidal and a mighty frustrating tone... but a few individuals had something else in store for me.

My 21st party was exactly how it should've been... wet, retro, pink and of course Superman'd. Last year I wondered, whats the big fuss about birthdays and got a pretty watery answer (read here), so this year I didn't dare ask or wonder about anything; I just witnessed, observed and realized, how a handful of people can make a planetful of difference.

My first Bro/Wingman, thanks a lot for being so awesome and for all the decisions you've always made for me. I've cherished every drop of alcohol (and adventures we've had because of the same) with you. I hope that you're the DJ at all of my parties and wish that I get to backpack with you very soon.
Bro's girlfriend/Bestest friend, I repeat what I said last year, best things do come in small packages. Thanks for being around for the last four Women's Days and making each one more special than the last. I hope you get placed at a MNC very soon and then sponsor all of my parties. You're pretty awesome as well.

Lifetime girlfriend/neighbor, I don't think gifts can get ever get as creative as yours was. 21 years and am proud to add closest to the 'oldest friends' tag we share. You were really missed and I owe you a grand treat when you're here next. Please thank your crew on my behalf.

Dance partner, need I say how Super you are. If the last 4 years have been awesome, then the last 4 months have been awesome's great grandfather... I eagerly look forward to the upcoming ones. Thanks for always being around and letting me be there as well. I hope you are working on your jokes.

Sahil, I missed you a lot man. Lukka chuppi on webcam made the almost perfect birthday more than perfect.
Cousin twin brother, you're the best thing that ever happened to me. No words can ever do justice to how precious you are to me. Lakshman would turn red with envy if he were here to see your love and support as a brother, for even his brotherhood for Rama wouldn't have been this super.

Madam Baroness & Mandrake, my last 2 parties have been 'intoxicating' because of your help, thank you so much. For this year's gift, thanks will spoil the gladness I feel everytime I look at it. It makes a 10-star addition to my Superman collection.

Dad & Mom, thanks for being such superbly 'cool' parents for the last 21 years. Samir uncle, I hope you don't mind being addressed as Godfather; you've been the coolest 35 year old for a long long time and I hope you are always around.

Twin brother's girl friend, blondie, bag-man, pothead, bird lady, snow white, bimbo, hotstuff, spandy, first year junior... I hope you get your nick names and I apologize for not mentioning more about you... but please do know, it was perfect because you danced like it was nobody's business, because you followed the theme perfectly, because you made the party green, because you appreciated the servings, because you all came with gifts and because you were there. Everything made me much more happy than what I look in the picture below.

'ahww' time

Yea, he is not my dog... I'm his human
