The Birthday I want(ed) to Celebrate

2009/05/29PersonalTags: ,

I am not happy today. My train ticket to home did not get confirmed. I think, I will not be able to be home for my birthday this year. Last year before my birthday I had decided that this one day of the year, I will always celebrate with my parents. For the record, I have celebrated all the last 22 birthdays with my parents.

Till recent years, I always felt that there was something missing on my birthdays. There was always a moment when I felt like even on this day I cannot remain happy throughout the day. In last few years, I realized that it was not that on that specific day bad things had to happen, instead it was me who expected everything to go perfect. Once I realized this, the next birthdays that I celebrated were near to perfect.

I am not a materialistic person, the best gift is to see everyone happy I meet on that day. When I was a teenager, I loved getting gifts, the better the gift, the better it was. It is so funny to think of how I was in those days.

This time I had informed my parents that I will not be able to come for the birthday as I am not getting leave from my professor. I had thought of giving them a surprise by reaching 2 days before my birthday. Well, that could not happen. I had spent the last week in the anticipation of the ticket getting confirmed, everyday I would think of packing my bags and leave, couldn’t concentrate on even writing a new story.

Our family is of around 20 people. We have been jointly celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, festivalsĀ  and all other occasions for years. Same as most of my birthdays, I had thought of celebrating this day of happiness with all of them. But this time I had thought of adding something. I wanted to tell my family the love that I had for them. I wanted to tell them how I felt about each and every person in my family. I wanted to give my younger siblings advice for how to live their life, tell them the mistakes that I committed and understanding I gained. Well, it may not happen on the Second of June, Two Thousand and Nine but will surely happen some day in the future.

So, this year I think I will celebrate my birthday with my friends alone. I am not sure of this as there are still 3 days left. :)

    hey man,

    Just get out from that place(campus), and catch a flight and enjoy your 23rd birthday. I can see from your post that you are bit concerned about your guide. By looking at the timetable(PG interviews and ICC worldcup), hes(guide) not going to come.

    This is what I got to say – “Happy Journey and Happy Birthday”

    I would like to tell you it is worth going back home, even on an unreserved ticket, for the joy that is awaiting beside all that.
    If I were you, I would have gone home somehow!
    Just go dude!

    @everyone
    This post is about having hope and not losing it. When I wrote this post I was surely unhappy because my ticket got canceled but by the end of writing it I wasn’t unhappy. I have hope that I may be able to make it. And even if I cannot, I believe I will be happy on that day.

    This post is not about me not being able to celebrate my birthday with my family. This post is about how I feel towards my family. I have always celebrated my birthday with family and friends and will forever try to do it.

    Mr. Spiritual, if you know that you still have three days left, why are you loosing hope? You can keep “trying”. Don’t worry,be happy! :D
    Its absolutely alright,you never celebrate mine with me…may be this time it is my turn.

    PS: I want my system back! :p
