Surprise

It happens so often now on birthdays that I was ignorant not to realise.

Heres what happened. I went out with a couple of friends for bowling yesterday. And one of my friends was all into his phone. I asked him who he was talking to and he ignored me. I didn't make much of it. He asked me of my plans after bowling and I told him I was going out with my family.

These friends of mine land up at my place five minutes before I am about to leave, and I am shell shocked. I was just so happy to see them. One by one, each one entered, and I looked as dazed as I ever could. So all the phone calls were leading to Siddhesh's house then.

Thank you guys for coming though. It really made me feel nice.

Drawing

After nearly two months of engineering drawing, I switched to drawing portraits, after three years. Three years back I had made one of Sachin, and a few other cricketers. This time around, I tried my hand at my new favoured footballer, Cesc Fabregas. Hehh. The face is not recognizable but any football fan would recognize the frame and the posture of Fabri..

Firefighter

I was sitting by the PC trying to work out a way to understand the Linux interface, when my mom suddenly shouted panic. I rushed out to see a small fire gaining wind right above the electrical board. The bell, which was placed right above it, had somehow caught fire. The stupid maid suggested throwing water over the fire; that would have surely electrocuted us. I picked up a doormat and banged it right on the bell a couple of times. The fire went out and luckily, it did not catch the electrical board. Man it was a scary day. Soot flying all over the house, even to my room and dirtying my laptop. The wall has now turned black and there is still a lingering smell of burnt plastic.
