Best Day of My Life

It was late morning but I was still sleeping.
Someone knocked on the door.

I dragged myself out of the bed like a lazy tortoise and
opened the door.

Mangal ?? What are you doing this early knocking on my door ?

Early ?? you lazy girl ... its nearly 10am

then he yelled loudly in my ears : " happy birthday !!
Surprise ..."


I have asked you thousand times when your birthday is
but you never told me but I found out and have planned an
awsome day for us.

You have 10 minutes to get ready and your time starts NOW.

"you are just Unbelieveable Mangale ! Ok give me 5 minutes
I'll be back in 20 "


Locked myself in the bathroom, had a shower dried and
straightened my hair, put my fav orange top and a long skirt on
and I was ready for the promised "Awsome day"

Bring it on..

Where are we going ? I asked him.

"Everything we do today is a surprise so just follow me
like a good girl".

We went near the bus stop but without catching any bus he kept
walking. Then we stopped in front of the multiplex.

He had 2 tickets of the movie "the 3 musketeers" It had
released just few days back only.
I really wanted to watch it so I jumped with joy.


The movie is about 3 guys who on a bachelors trip to spain before
one of the plans to get married and does all sort of crazy
adventure sports and during the trip discovers what life
really is and how not just to live but to actually be alive.
It had many funny scenes. I laughed so much that my jaw started to
hurt.

I could relate to many scenes of the movie so I really enjoyed it.


The best part was that it was about friendship and I was watching
it with my best friend -Mangal Daydreamer.

I have only known him for past 7 months but he is more dear
to me than my friends whom I have known all my life.

During the interval he bought Large size popcorn and fanta
. I know it very well that he loves popcors and fanta.

sometimes he drops the popcorn in fanta  and eats with a spoon.

He is one crazy guy but still my best friend.



After the movie, we had lunch at his fav veg restaurant in the city
Rice- lentil soup, spinach , bamboo shoots - stir fry veggies
and what not.


we both went into food coma for nearly half an hour.

Then he took me to all the little alleys of the city with
nice graffitis and did a photo session of me.

click click click.. so many clicks. I had never had so many
photos of me taken in one day.



I was enjoying every second of it.

I said to him : "I wish Everyday was my birthday  so that you
treat me like a princess all the time  and don't ever fight with
me like you always do".

He looked into my eyes and said : "I won't fight with you even
once starting right from this very moment dear......


the after pausing for 30 seconds he goes ... "till tommorow
of course... "


I punch him softly on his arm but he yells out loudly "OUCH"

He can be such a drama queen sometimes.


It started getting dark and he then took me to the top of a hill
from where you could see the whole city.


Up in the sky, the stars were shining bright and
down in the ground, all the lights out of the little and big
houses looked as if someone had scattered lots of diamonds.

He took out a rug from his bagpack and spread it out.
Then some chips, fanta  (again) , choco wafers.

This was his idea of an evening picning

The weather was perfect.

He started to play all my fav songs one by one.

He just remembers every small thing about me although he is
a big AM (absent minded).



I was surprised and overwhelmed at how much he cared for me and
did all this for me.

On his birthday (28 december), all I did was write on his wall
"Happy Birthay" just like few of his friends who didn't forget.

but then I had just known him for few days and we were not
really best friends at that time.



After about 20 minutes, we heard a loud explosive sound
the sky went super bright.

FIREWORKS !!  FIREWORKS !!  FIREWORKS !!  

Wow.. is this still part of my birthday celeberation ?

Did he arrange this too ? Can someone do all this for me ?

Tears started to roll down my eyes through my cheek and to my lips
salty tears.

I was speechless. I pointed my index finger towards the sky and
gestured him asking if it was for me.

"Hey !! don't be silly I did not pay for those
fireworks I  am not that rich. Every year on July 31st, the city
council does fireworks to celeberate winter. I knew about this
so planned our picnic here.

I know you go crazy over fireworks and so do I.

So lets just pretend they are just for you shall we ?

I could't resist and  hugged him tightly and gave him a kiss.

I will never ever forget this day : The best day EVER


he goes : "stop being so filmy thats the dialouge that Rapaunzel
says in TANGLED.. haha"


ok I have one question :  " How did you know that today is my
birthday ?"


he goes : Remember last month when you showed me your passport,
I checked your birthday date.  See I am smart

"Well Mr. Smarty Pants, today is not my real birthday. There
was some error while filling the application form for the passport
My Real birthday is after a  month in September but I didn't want
to ruin the Awsome day that you had planned. "


He stared at me like an idiot for a while then goes" From now
onwards, we'll celeberate your birthday twice a year: in July and Spetember.
