Birthday woes and wows :)

18th May dawned bright and early, and the usual excitement on a birthday morning was sadly lacking in me. I was generally grumpy about people not being in a mood to celebrate my bday, thanks to the grand celebrations we'd had for other functions (being my bro and sis in law's first anniversary and a tiffin-dinner arranged for some relatives) which had tired out my family. Although they had a perfectly acceptable reason to be tired, I persisted in my juvenile claim of a bday morning lacking zest. My general spoilt attitude hit home and my darling family decided that something needs to be done to pep up my day. 

So aside from umpteen calls and messages (thank you to everyone who remembered), my brother got me 2 books on his trip back from the US, my sister spent 3 hours at crossword with my dad (who took a break in between work!) and ended up buying me three books, my other sisters, with the brothers' help sat up making a presentation of my pictures with funny captions and put it up, ordered a cake, and the mothers cooked a yum Italian dinner.. In short, my unusually dull day had just gotten transformed into a classic birthday, thanks to the efforts and the love put in by each member. 

I shall forever remain grateful for the lovely family I've been born in and blessed with, to have the BEST siblings in the whole world, and the most amazing set of parents any child could ask for. 

This post comes as a tribute to all of them, who have, repeatedly, and in various ways, been there for me, making my journey of life, exceedingly pleasant! 

Thanks and hugs to each one of them! :)
