I celebrated my 38th Birthday in Chennai as well as in New Delhi with my colleagues and good friends respectively. Birthdays come and go but the message that it brings with it many a time goes overlooked. This time my birthday brought in message of love and care. I felt really happy when the participants  (few colleagues of mine and few friends from other organisation) in the training programme in Chennai, suddenly gave me surprise party in the form of cutting cake and wishing me best in my life ahead. Facebook of mine was poured by warm greetings and kind words. My colleagues from Delhi called me and wished me. I felt so glad. I really felt pampered and extremely happy. The message of love came loud and clear. All my friends and acquaintance do love me a lot. They found few minutes for me to pen down their thoughts in Facebook and whatsapp.The participants in the training workshop found some time out of their heavy schedule to plan a tasty as well as beautiful cake for me. I think Birthday is one of the day in our life when people really think of us. My mother called me at night when the clock ticked midnight and wished as well as blessed me for beautiful life ahead. What more you need? But there are much more for me yet...

I was in Chennai in the morning of 20th May 2016 (date of my birth) by evening around 9 pm I was back to Delhi. My two good friends in Delhi picked me up from airport and took me to a restaurant in Caunaught Place, New Delhi. On our way to restaurant they stopped their car on the way and honoured me with lot of gifts followed by cutting the cake ceremony. I was so happy with their warm gesture to make me feel special. I owe to them a lot. Gratitude pour out of my heart for them and I could only thank them from the core of my heart. In Delhi or in any other cities of the world when you stay alone and far from your family members, then these friends out side your professional job, makes you feel very special. On my last birthday both of them made me feel special.

In the restaurant, we had good food and danced few steps on the karaoke that was sang by another group in the restaurant. One of the song was "Happy Birthday to you...."

At night I could sleep happily remembering the attention that I got through out the day. The love and care that I received was really overwhelming.

Life for some of us is lonely. But then friends make you feel special and loved.

I thank all of my friends, colleagues for making
