On 1st March, I did not get up early and go to the Gurudwara, nor did I eat daal pakwaan for breakfast or hear my mom read my horoscope aloud. My mom, like any other Indian mother, broke into tears, last night because it was for the time that her li’l one was away from home on her birthday. She was scared that I would not get to cut the mithai wala cake, which my dad brought from his favourite halwai, I wouldn’t wear new clothes nor would I get as many presents as I did from my aunts, uncles, cousins and little sis.
But you know what? The World’s Best Hostelmates decided to prove her wrong. 🙂
How? Let’s have a look.
They made a cake for me!
They waited for the clueless me to wake up from slumber, then finish talking to mom and dad and finally pay attention to the yummiest cake in the world.
Choco pie, liquid chocolate, crushed biscuts, sugar and loads of gems; these are the ingredients for the best cake in the world. 🙂
And now, it is time to flaunt my presents!
A cute note and a card to make my day.
Chocolates, chocolates and more chocolates 😀
Lord Krishna and Buddha to watch over me always
A box! A box full of the sweetest notes ever.
A Gulak to help me fulfill my childhood dream of owning one. That too, in such a cute shape!
So in short, I celebrated the World’s Best Birthday with the World’s Best Hostelmates Swat cat, Roja Bella, Gulabi Pinki, Super woman Anmol, Bubbly Ek Tha Tiger and Meldious Gracy.
P.S. Sorry for the overdose of exclamation points. I just can’t wipe off that happy grin off my face. 😀
And now that you’ve met my hostel roommates, it is time you got introduced to my other little buddies.
We remember the day seven years back when were travelling in a Mumbai local trying hard to come up withe a name for our blog when struck us; Khushboo was always called a Jack of all Trades. The name stuck (with a slight modification, of course) and Minni was born. Six years, over 100 collaboration, lakhs of readers and several awards later; our love for blogging continues to grow. We continue to write on an eclectic range of topics from the funniest autorickshaw signs that we have spotted in Mumbai to how to bathe an elephant. We are true blue Munni of all Trades and we hope to continue on this joyride with our fellow Munnies and Munnas.
