The Mistaken Birthday

Just a week back, Shail Vora celebrated his 22nd Birthday. We (Prashanth, Vivek, Rama and I) bought him a gift and he treated us with ice creams and milkshakes... It was an occasion to remember. The earlier night had been a fiasco (the Midnight Birthday Party) and suprisingly my name was forwarded to the Manager of Lal-Tourist-Home as the person to take the blame (thankfully.. the issue didn't explode at all). Thats when Swati (didi) told me that she was to celebrate her birthday in excatly 7 days time... the 25th of Oct.

I didn't forget it and made sure to wish her first up. But when i hit the sack on the 24th (10 PM), I went into a deep state of meditation to reach my higher level of concsience (in short.. I slept). Prashanth and I ensured that we wished her before we started for work. And we did.......

Prashanth and I : Happy Birthday Didi
Swati : Birthday ???
I : Ya... isn't it not ??
Swati : No
I : But I thought you said your B'day was due on 25th of Oct when Shail was celebrating his.
Swati : Oh.. I was just Joking...
Prashanth and I : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Swati : What happened ?
I : (to Prashanth) Ok da.. Lets give her the gift anyways.....
Swati : Awwwww (blinked like a bulb)

Well she promised us a REAL treat for a FAKE birthday.. And a treat it was.. At Ariya Niwas. Yum Yum.. Thanks Didi...
