Happy Birthday Bappi Da - 18th Oct - 2013

Thank U all for wishing me on my B'day....

Especially those who spend few bucks on calls to wish me...
(Mehengai ka zamana hai bhai...isliye uun 3 lucky winners/callers ka special mention hona chaahiye....)

Thank U Onkar Alurkar, Kaushik Sharma and Mohsin Havaldar for not making my mobile feel lonely today and avoiding me feel ashamed of having a mobile especially today :)
(I hope 'Inflation' will not affect @least U in future and u continue to call me wherever I am to wish me on my B'day :P)

Special thanks to Surya Sunkara, Varad Dixit and Jagruti for making me feel that I am STILL worth a person who has touched ur life in some way or the other....
Your today's B'day wishes in ur own style which had ur personal touch really made my day....and mind U....U all 3 pleasantly surprised me.....

This is a usual trend every year...Unexpected Ppl surprise me every year by wishing me in a very nice way and those expected 1s either opt for easy way out of either msging/posting on FB or pinging me when m online or the best part....they totally 4get that I exist ;) However if I miss wishing them on their B'days, they do crib to me.....pretty strange???Believe It...'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' :D

Anyways, I also loved the way few of U still called me 'Bappi Da' while wishing me on FB :) It felt like u Ppl are still around me and we all are still enjoying that 'Golden Era of OBR'..

Many learnings from the day:

1) Not to remain awake just to wish people @ 12.00 on their B'days even when u need to wake up early in the morning for ur office.

2) Do not call and waste money when U notice on FB that ur friend's B'day is there when one can simply type a line on his wall ...which he/she may/may not check on the same day but u have diligently performed ur duty.

3) One can also try another easier option of text msg...especially if sm msg pack is activated.

4) Do not look at ur mobile @ 12.00 hoping @list sm1 will call U as for the rest 364 days U still have to be nice with ur mobile even if it betrayed U on ur B'day.

5) The best lesson learnt: You start believing that you have given a lot to the people around U and they will always remember that and acknowledge U by @list wishing U on ur B'day.....all crap.....once out of limelight, you are simply a Mr.Nobody !!!

6) Need to learn to stop keeping contact with those whom I call every year once to wish on their B'days but who are never in touch with me even on my B'day.

7) Also need to learn to stop re-dialling if a B'day Boy/Gal didn't pick ur call twice or thrice or did not even bother to give a call-back or msg U.

Gosh, birthdays can be a nightmare if U start the day with too much expectations...
So let it unfold the way it is scripted so that the surprises will make U more happy than the sadness which comes from the huge disappointments!!!

This is one damn day which shows U your real value in other people's life !!!

So again thankU to all those who made me smile today...touched my heart by their small gestures/acts....especially the 'Sole Gifter' for taking so much efforts just to give me that beautiful gift....a gift on MY B'day.... ha ha ha.....a big joke which repeated after 5 damn yrs...
(Saala ab tak main sochta tha ke 'Paagalpan' ka theka sirf maine leke rakha hai par aaj meri wo galatfehmi bhi duur ho gayi) !!!
