It happened so, I celebrated my 25 yrs of existence, sometime during last month end. Generally I used to keep a low profile about my birthday, if not my age, at almost all my workplaces (4 workplaces to be more precise).
But for the last 3 years not many people knew when's my birthday. But this time @ Honeywell, the lid just blew off. Yes. On my birthday, in fact my name was put up on the display board at the reception. So this had to happen. I ended up cutting a cake.
Yes, I did cut a cake today, 4 November, but more than cutting the cake and eating it, I enjoyed something more, which happened in one of our meeting rooms. I was not the only one about to cut the cake, but Devender also. But the occasion/session had a special twist.
Mr Aneesh, my team member came up with the idea of writing Happy Birthday on the glass board in one of the meeting rooms. Along with it he sketched my friend and me. Me with my trademark mustache and hairdo.
It did not stop there, from there on he went ahead to sketch different stuffs which were characteristic of that person. Finally every other person in the meeting room, started drawing caricatures on the board. And also added a baseline / punchline to each caricature..
[ Mine - the punchline read - " I want to go home ". Along with it there was another pic which depicted a bed. It had a punchline " Relaxation Room "].
Awesome, sometimes you may be at the recieving end of a comedy/ gimmick, but it indeed feels great. [To know what other people really think of you].
It was just the right dose of fun. I will surely put up few pics of it, once I go to the office tomorrow.
PS ::: Thank you guys, it indeed was, very very very special...
PPS:: Thanks god, for keeping me alive and kicking for 25 years, not sure how many b'days will i celebrate in future... (keeping my fingers crossed.)
