SATTE PE SATTE

Dukhi pe dukhi ho ya satte pe satta…Wondering why these lyrics??? Obvious reason should strike you all by now….not struck until now…okay here it comes :-) I am born on the 7^th day of the 7^th month of the year :-) I don’t know whether this a good date to be born as per Hindu mythology as I have heard many contradicting opinions about it. 

I would however want to stay on the positive helm of this date…every time I come with a reason for choosing the topic and this time also I had a reason for writing this…every year this day has been special for me…any reasons coming into your mind as to why this day has been special this year…it’s because this year many have made me feel special right from family to friends to neighbours to students to just acquaintances everyone have made it special for me in their own little gesture.

People who know me would know my fondness for sleeping…probably other than getting up early for work every day…I just love sleeping…in fact the word love would also be an undermined word…My birthday is the only other day I get at 5.00am…as wishes start pouring in through phone calls…I just hate to miss even one call on the day so I get ready by 5.30-6.00am because wishes start pouring from 6.00am and continue till 12:00am…..and yes did I forget to make myself a little more modest here…wishes start right from 12:00am and goes on till 1:00am…so I practically sleep only for 5hrs…which is probably the hugest of sacrifices for me as the 8 hrs quota is not availed on a day when I should be using it the most ;-)

I almost get close to 60-70 calls across the length and breadth of the globe :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)thanks to family, friends, students, acquaintances who have settled at various locations. This birthday was special because the celebrations continued not only on my birthday through friends gifting me flowers, chocolates, cards, gifts etc but even because the celebrations continued after the day…cake cutting not only happened on the day..but even happened after the day…gifts not only poured in on that day it still is coming  :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I just hope that the happiness stays so not only for this birthday but for all coming birthdays in my life and I definitely won’t mind it if the gifts keep pouring in too ;-) I even share this birthday with many great celebrities, friends, students and it’s a little odd to wish someone and listen same to you in return…but I would be happy even if one of them sharing this day has a smile at the end of this blog….cheers to all the people born in the SATTE PE SATTE category!!!
