Happy Birth day to U

At last a post in my blog. My birthday was on 4^th July , the first time in my life , I am celebrating the b'day away from home.. - R u feeling home sick?? [: P]... Most probably: “No man!! How can you expect me to have that syndrome even after staying in hostels for five years ( 4 years BTech and 1 year MTech)?.But still, I want to go home for my birth day. " Luckily, my Guide permitted me to go home for one week. This means that I would be going home on 4^th night and would reach home on 5^th after noon.

There exists a tradition in IITM; at least it exists among the THERMITES (my Thermal Branch mates), not so great though... The person, who is having his birth day, should give a TREAT to the fellow branch mates in Basera. I am supposed to give them the treat on 4th night. Since I was going home on 4th evening, I thought of giving it A PRIORI. I gave it on 3rd. Around 22 of my batch mates attended it.

On third night, by about 11.45, Edward the new GSec of Sindhu Kairali, came to my room with a birth day cake in his hand.My thermal friends also came to my room with another birth day cake. A nice experience!! As far as I know, the first person to be gifted with two birth day cakes. I cut both the cakes.The two cakes that you see in the pic, the one on my left hand side was being sponsered by Sindhu Kairali and the other one by the Thermites. In the cake, given by my thermal friends, it was written, TO OUR SEXY SABBU… :P

Some of my friends took that as an opportunity to beat me. The problem was that, I was not wearing my Spectacles at that time. With out the Specs, I could not see the ones who beat me the most.[:(] Some of them pasted the cream on my face and had fun. Any way the birth day that I celebrated away from my home for the first time was a really memorable experience for me...
