Birthday or day for rebirth of joys

Hey I am up to promise of updating my blog. I had planned to list down all my experiences in last few months which make a stand up in position any time when I sit to analyze my memory lane. It has been beautiful to be part of all those feelings which never allow mind to be left alone.


I would like to start with my birthday, 22nd July, a day which will stand always upright but this time it had many feathers to make me fly little higher, which made it more special. I had my final presentation for the project in KEM lined up a day where we generally feel to spend quality time with family and friends and definitely carry out celebrations round the 24 hours. The day was meant to be more hectic as next day I had to catch train to Bangalore for which I can say is that the following trip proved to be one of the major turn around in my academic and research outlook which got a new dimension added to it. The following post after this one revolves around the memorable time in Bangalore.

The day started with clock ticking midnight & I got a sweet surprise from my parents & brother to make the beginning of the day with sweetness of chocolate cake, with more surprises standing in line. I had my friend dropping in to again get my senses running for the sweetness of cake, which were clouded by the gifts, I received from my friends 'shreyash', who also added to be a carrier for others gift also. This happening was surrounded by a hilarious situation of 'Amruta' calling me up and inquired whether shreyash had come or not, giving a definite idea about the surprise which he was suppose to give. The situation actually turned funny when shreyash was standing with my mobile in his hand & it received message from amruta for not saying anything to shreyash regarding what blunder she had done, made every moment worth the time.

Morning brings brightness and so does the responsibility of standing up to each task in hand. Morning was encircled by running to be on time with starter of the day being visiting siddhivinayak temple & it made more memorable as I had 'Shashi', friend/sister (both relation she fits into perfectly), as company. Within the span of me reaching to the temple, I had my friends who really made a point to call me up. As I finished with darshan I was holding few gifts in my hand from my fellow mate, an as such very lazy girl but generally she makes a point to run when it is really needed. It feels overwhelmed to have such people in my life, not in terms of getting gifts, but just for their existence in life.

As we finished with our darshan and we proceeded to our destination in a cab, Apeksha with her regular time of calling in morning during birthdays jumped in to call me up & wishing me up both for birthday & also for the presentation lined up. As the cab went ahead from prabhadevi towards sewri, KEM came along & so my destination for next few hours, with time requiring to concentrate on professional front and keeping personal sides on back end. I had few changes to be carried out which were left out as I had skipped previous day to attend & get it done by my guide's suggestions. My guide was like in a state of more nervousness than I was but she made a point to make me remember that I had skipped previous day & following it with a list of changes to be carried out for the final presentation. I had presentation at 3:30 along with my fellow trainee mate from other department with only 2 of us left from the entire batch of 10.

As the time proceeded, nervousness made a front end appearance, along with getting calls for the birthday wishes along from 'Anushka' (my other prized sister) and many other of my friends, with my guide being a regular follower with the progress taking place with respect to the presentation. My friend was little late to arrive & completely drowned in nervousness. Time ticked in with every moment making its presence felt that day. Meanwhile my friends kept inquiring about what time I would get free and presentation happenings. Deepika, the support system , was like get it done faster or if possible before the scheduled time so more time I could engage myself with my friends. It sounded such a lucrative and mouth watering at that moment but rules stand by themselves so we do have to.

The day was like running like no time to lunch and during lunch time it came to know that presentation was actually scheduled at 3 and not at 3:30. It made pressure levels reaching to their peak, with both of us consolidating each other that our Director Sir won't ask many questions. It was like bigger challenge for me to stand in front of him and give presentation on topic which stand as his favorite not only in terms of interest but also that many of his own projects are based on same disease.

As time ticked 3, everyone from the institute rounded up in seminar room for attending our presentation. That time it seemed like those people were there to check out how these fools are gonna be made fun of, with attendance from all the renowned scientists and emerging ones made that scene similar to the described one.

As the projector was put on, it had to do add more fun to the moment by not working properly, so it was decided that we would have to give our presentation without any help from our slides. That moment it seemed even that gadget was in mood to make our fun of.

My friend Sachin, was first to begin with, nervously but patiently trying to put forward each point ahead & really can't say for what reasons the projector started working properly. I guess the morning darshan really helped :-) . It was truly for gods grace. My friend finished his presentation and was like standing alone in battle field to be bombarded with questions, which few he could answer & few arrows taking silently with no replies, truly a Indian battlefield scene.

Next was me in line for the presentation, and having a habbit of like whatever situation in hand, confidence to justify in whatever I have carried out really acted as saviour. I had few questions coming from Sir, in between with few I could stand up to and few arrows look like were not that hard to survive in. The vibrations of my cell phone made their high level of presence felt in between presentation period adding to anxiety at the back end, sounds funny now. As I had finished my presentation , I was dropped upon truckloads of questions, that time I can never skip anytime whenever I remember that day. The moments after Director Sir had left few of them were congratulating me that actually I had done very well to be so confident and survive in that battle field. Few of them consolidated me that it was absolutely fine in being unable to put a answer for everything.

The next moments I remember me & my friend spent releasing toxic wastes from kidney which helped in relieving pressure and bearing a sense of achievement.

The following part of day was than definitely has got approval for a time to party for every single reason. My friends were very eager to know what time I was heading to the gathering point and which my friends had decided to be thane, pizza hut. I boarded train to thane with my heavy bag and also a laptop in bonus to add to the load. As I was about to get down at thane, a person got a slight touch of my bag for which he made a scene that I had hit him, which gave him a rough time with having to put his ears to the tone of words making him understand what bad timing he had tried to cross his limits.

The time then on was filled with cake, fun, gifts, including a bag, tshirts, shirt, chocolates making my day stand up in the memory lane. Special thanks to all my friends (Deepika & Shreyash in particular for making all the necessary buildup to make my birthday more special).

Well time was running and I really wish could those moments hold up for some more time to continue. It was late and I had all my packing left for one more life time journey from next following day. Getting a call from home saying, if I had time for people at home made me run faster back home. Getting back home and attending calls with battery shouting to get some charge. Reaching home made a sigh of relief to the mind, with people at home wondering how long was my list of gifts which I had received. The next few hours went like in few seconds, with all requirements getting filled in my baggage and filling up excitement for time I had spent and time which was about to come.

I really cherish every single moment & every single experience I had been through that day & I could definitely bet that the day would rank very high, when at any later point of my life if I had to sit and keep remembering about few days and few moments I had in my life and I bet if this post was exciting the following posts would reflect my experiences in terms of few simple words.

Special thanks to everyone who was part in making this reflection of my experience a worth it.
