Birthday Buoy!
No typo up there. Why buoy? Aah well, just like every year it rained like there's no tomorrow on 4th August. It's my birthday signature! And when rains lash Mumbai, God save - well, himself.
Woke up to a small celebration at home with family. Another cake! Bring it on!
Reached office and as expected, the compound was full of ankle-deep water. Ughy water. The bindaas acrobat executive that I am, I jumped across the parapets and walls around and reached mostly dry, with the exception of a part-wet sock. More ughness.
Had a superlazy day and soaked in all the... hey where's the sun? OK, wishes will do for now.
Everyone was waiting for cakesplashing time. When it came, no part of my face was spared. Thankfully, the brand new shirt was spared. I looked picture perfect. Faceload of cake with a cherry to top! Will post pics tomorrow.
Wish count: About 15 SMSs, 20 calls, 12 e-mails, 25 messages on my Ryze. (And still filling as of 11:53 pm) Damn, I'm feelin good. Hey, I'm a natural Leo. Being full of myself is a trait. I didn't choose it ;)

Birthnight
"Stop it Manish, Kaps. Don't act like kids".
As soon as I open my eyes I realise - I'm surrounded by the WHOLE gang. All of them! Sam, Avi, Rakesh, Raxit, Prashant!! So well it figures - Sam and Avi calling me up to check where I was. The planned surprise! :D
With 2 cars, we then headed to Worli Seaface. The folks had got a cake along. Had an awesome time there with the cake and all the friends. Thanks a ton fellas - this was the bestest gift ever!
By 1, we headed home. She calls. :)
- Last nite at 11, buddies Manish n Kapil picked me up from work.
- Went to Kalpana at Worli Naka. (Huh?) - Oh well, what's in a name? Food's great. Try it.
- Downed a bit of my new fave, Old Monk. Starters were OK dokey.
- Main course was some veggies. Don't ask me names. But the Dal Tadka ROCKED!
- 3rd August, 11:50 pm - I'm tellin the fellas about Fahrenheit 9/11
- First call, bro. Plays the smarts. Calls at 11:58 so he can get through the lines.
- A barrage of SMSes. Manish, Vanali, Prashant, Kamal, Lincoln.
- Sameer calls. Checkes where I am and till when I'm hanging around. Wishes, hangs up.
- Avinash does ditto. Dinner done, we decide to move on.
- No sooner am I out of the premises, than I see myself blindfolded.
- Someone pounces on me.
