The Blast

It was probably the first time in 28 birthdays that I have had a blast. And this Feb 3 will probably be vivid in my memory for the suprise that my friends decided to spring upon me.

Well, on the evening of Feb 3, my bosom buddy Subbu came home just as me & amma were planning to go for a dinner date. He seemed to be the proverbial "man in a hurry" and requested me manage a puppy (that he had got from his friend) for a couple of days. And since my amma also had no issue, I went along with him to his house to get hold of the supposed pet. But back of the mind,it was hard for me to believe as he knew I was a dog-hater.

So i went up to his terrace along with him, with a doubt lingering at the back of my mind. When we reached the open air, lights suddenly lit up and a group of 15 people started singing THE song. Needed all the smelling salts to actually believe what I saw.

A motley group of my close coterie - AirTelites, Frosties and even college mates had gathered for a suprise party.Subbu had actually started planning for it more than ten days back and had somehow got their contact details from amma and called them to join for the same.

The party went on past midnight - it actually was a teetotallers dream till all the moms were there. And then corks popped open when the senior citizens left the place. What a party !! Muchas Gracis pals!!
