I am on this planet for 27 years, 11 hrs and 45 minutes as of NOW...
birthdays used to be one day when all my family members.. chacha chachi, mama mami, mausa mausi, bua fufa, all cousins came over to my place and we used to celebrate...
and then it stopped... everyone became busy in their own lives... and i moved on too... and then came the time when i started celebrating with friends.. dinner, lunch, tafri watever...
i remember having a party in Lodhi Garden as well... my college gang was with me.. and we had a picnic in the centre of the park !!! it was fun..
and then came the time when i had my girlfriend to celebrate the day with... nice romantic days... ugh !!! can't think of repeating that as of now...
and for the last few years... the birthdays have been more of a silent affair... meeting a few friends... lots of calls yes !!! and the usual work !!!
today, i feel birthdays are milestones in my life... the time when i should be judging myself on what i have done in the last one year... i have grown older... but am i more mature with time as well.. have i learnt anything in the last 52 weeks...
well... the last year has been fairly fair to me.... have learnt a lot... but i still cannot sugar coat my words... i am still very blunt with words... maybe this coming year things would improve...
i have grown on my patience levels... i can not let go a li'il easily and i can listen for longer...
i still do not know how to handle stupidity...
i love driving more then i used to on 11-April-05...
i love fotography more then i used to on 11-Apr-05...
i love travelling more then ever...
i have met some wonderfully nice people in the last one year...
i have managed to be out of relationships and related worries for another year...
above all...
I have managed to be MYSELF !!!
ME first.
ReplyDelete*pats his back for a job well done*
Let me read the post now :P
I have managed to be MYSELF !!!

Another thing: Just that you're a BIG BOY now[as I've already told you twice, but I think it's my duty to keep reminding...you know being a good friend] You've got to got to got to give Deeps and I a chance that we click and Richa and I can dance in your wedding.

ReplyDeleterelationships???
ReplyDeletedont u think u are too confused with that word?!
well yes i am some arbit stranger for u and i dont have any right watsoever to poke my nose here but since i have been a regular visitor to ur blog...i thought of commenting on this!!particularly when i have made certain observations about u!!
well in case u are wondering whether u know me..no u dont but its my hobby to read strangers's blogs and came across ur blog some 6 months before..really liked it and therefore added in my favourites..
so comin back to the topic...y do u restrict urself so much in the matters of a relationships..when u are doing so pretty well in other arenas of ur life??it just happens ya..u cant control it..u cant say that since u dont want it,u wont let that happen!! u must have gone through some heartbreaks but that doesnt mean that u start escaping certain situaions..just ask urself for once..arent u escaping certain facts of ur life at present??
plz think and lemme know how successful have i been in interpreting ppl's emotions through their blogs!!
NO OFFENCES PLEASE...JUST FELT LIKE COMMENTING!!
happy bday :) its still 11 in many parts of the world.. so noy very late :)
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteWell congrats..ur actually growing
up!
The day we start getting depressed or retrospective on our bdays means we'r greying dude!
@ rohit...

thanks..
# lalit..
thanks bro...
# shweta...
thanks dear..
# saarika...
confused... no way... infact i have never been more clear about what i want in my life... i've had my good times and bad times.. and i am not closed to being in one, provided its the right one...
would not get into one till i find the right person... the person i want to spend the rest of my life with.. till then its either very short term affairs or one night stands...
i do not escape anything in my life saarika....and i am pretty sure of what i want and what i don't.. for more ppl this would seem as if i am closed to things but for me this is clarity of thought and priorities....
not offended at all... maybe you need to know me more before reaching any conclusions...
@ kishley...
thank you hai ji... my budday was on the 10th
@ anand...
thanks... greying yes... depressed... not really... retrospective.. yes for sure...

ReplyDeleteJust saw Shimla Flickr pics.
Majorly, you've done what you're expected to do~Prashant style. But I loved 022100211!
I left some comments there. :D
# rohit...
ReplyDeletevery very good...
thank you bhi hai..
par ye prashant style kya hai.. mereko bhi bata !!!
i will check the comments!!
Prashant style bole to.. What you usually do.. some very typical compositions and angles that you choose. You know how everyone does what they are comfortable with. And that becomes his/her style...
ReplyDeletehappy birthday!!!(i know im late) i think one will keep growin up for ever. You'll always experiene, see and learn new things in life, and that is good. The oposite of growing older is deffenitely not a good choise!!!
