Special Birthday!


Manasa started planning for my BD a month before itself. She kept saying “Amma, you should enjoy the rest day on your BD. I will do all the works and you just have to have the fun.”  J

Since a week, she used to ask me naughtily almost daily “Amma, what special day is coming in 5 days…4 days etc”. Thus she started the countdown, a week before. J

She gave a to-do list to her dad, to buy for my BD. A saree (she says she likes me in saree only), a salwar (coz I told her that it’s my choice), a chain and an ear-ring. The last two are still pending and I think I need to follow-it-up with Manasa. ;-)

Last night she wrote a surprise greeting letter and kept it under my pillow, without my knowledge. To my “surprise”, I saw it only in the morning.

She fulfilled her promise too up to an extent that she could do, like re-arranging her toys after playing, swept & mopped wherever it was dusty & dirty on the floor.

Already asked her dad to come home early to go out for dinner.

I should have kept counting from the morning, to have a clear count on how many times she has wished me HBD. :-)

I have just described the happenings and I am not going to share my emotions here, because obviously I cannot express it in words.


Manasa, thanks a lot my darling. Not only because of these incidents, but generally everyday, you make me feel proud about yourself. Love you lots.
