Old at 25…

April first, Fool’s day, also happens to be my birthday… I turn 25 today… That’s a milestone… I am finally one quarter of a century old… Cheers…

Being born on April’s fool day is actually a fun thing… Imagine inviting about 50 people for a birthday party and having to spend money on food for only 25 because the other half would not show up… You can almost assume that… This is no joke… This has practically happened… Many a times, my parents would host a birthday party for me and only a handful of invitees would show up… That also sometimes means fewer gifts :(

I was born on a Fool’s day at 7:02 a.m. Phone calls were made from the hospital to close family and friends… “It’s a baby girl…” Hours pass by and no one shows up at the hospital… Round two of phone calls… “We’re not kidding… the baby is really here…” It took a lot of convincing to finally have them belive my parents.

Today, i turn 25!!! I had a wonderful birthday. I got the gift of food… Nothing can make me happier… :) And, I got to spend an evening with my loved ones, my husband Ashwin, my father-in-law and my brother-in-law. We went out to TGI Fridays.

Another year of good fortune. A few years back, I made a wish and it came true in the form of “Ashwin”. I thank God for everything I have. I am making another wish tonight and hopefully it’ll come true in the near future…

Thanks to everyone who made my day special… Your warm wishes are appreciated…

Cheers…
