Diary Entry 20 - "The Birthday Special"

Hey Jenny, I am back once again. How you doing today? Well if you ask me, I would say a very pleasant day. Hmm, today is June 2nd or rather you can call it my birthday. 23 years ago I was born at 12:01 am this day. :D Yes I am really happy to be born and alive even now :D About my birthday, I don't really have an unforgettable most special delightful birthday till now to share with you in particular. Off-course I partied with my friends(those birthdays are still the best), been happy with my family and did the usual birthday celebrations many years but I never had that most special birthday till now. Well, there is still time for that I guess, but who knows anything can happen before the next bell. Recently our Lalettan posted about his birthday in his blog. It was called "A passing milestone in a beautiful journey that is life". I totally loved it. What he said has really touched my heart. Yeah it's true that whatever he said or done so far on-screen and off-screen has always influenced me or touched me to the core. But this one was much more powerful. He has written "Each birthday we have is a proclamation of another year we had in this world. A step towards death." I know it's really complicated, but this post has influenced me a lot. I am not telling this has made me a new human but what I meant is I will cherish each and every moment here with my dear ones. I will remember every good things that happened in my life. I will never forget my dear friends for making me who I am today. I will try my best to be in touch with all of themAnd to the people who broke my heart you guys are forgiven and not forgotten. :) Thanks a bunch for making me stronger.

Actually today is one memorable birthday I am having. It started off with a win of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL season 7. I was the only one among my dear friends who supported KKR right from the beginning to the end. I really had a heart attack in the last overs of this IPL. Ha, they did it anyway. Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo. I belive Shah Rukh is very happy :) Oh, Jenny did I ever tell you he is one of the guys I love most in this world for the personality. Off-course I have not seen him yet. What I tell you is from what I have heard and seen in television and media. He is a great man. I can tell that from the way he love his family. He is the best host india has ever produced. Everybody likes him. Such a pleasing personality. Wow. So I love Lalettan for his acting talents and SRK for his charming personality.

Ah Jenny, one funny thing is I had no idea that today was my birthday in the morning when I woke up. I slept before 12 am after watching the IPL award ceremony. Just woke up in the morning at 8 as usual and checked the mobile. I was shocked to see 16 missed calls and around 50 messages in Whatsapp. I really got tensed in the beginning. I was wondering who is dead :D :D So after checking the messages only I remembered today is that day, my birthday and figured out nobody is dead too. :D After skimming through Facebook, I could know that today is the birthday of many famous personalities. The music god Ilayaraja, Actor Madhavan, Director Manirathnam, Actress Sonakshi and many more. Oughh I really am happy to share my birthday with them. :D Offcourse I thank my Amma and Achan for having me and for giving me a nice brother too. :)

This is what I call a happy birthday - Rethin's birthday celebration at Ettimadai.
Then, I really want to thank my dear friends who killed their sleep and tried calling me to wish me at the very start of my day. I am so sorry. You already know I love you all. :) Another thing I wanna tell you Jenny is about Shiny who is the only one to give me a greeting card for every birthday I had since 2nd year of college. May god bless her for her love and care. I would like to thank my soul sister, my best friends and everyone for wishing me on my birthday and I really am grateful to every single soul who stood by me, who laughed with me, fought with me and for travelling with me in this journey so called life. I need you all for the coming years too. Love you all.

So Jenny, thanks for listening. I shall take leave now. You take care. Bubye. :)
