Today was a splendid day. I took a day off from work to spend time with friends, family and most importantly myself. "after all, it's my day ;)"
Family
The day started well with helping my Dad configure Internet in our new house in Kerala. All thanks to Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited's "technical challenges" due to which this request was pending for 3+ months. We finally got it all setup and tested it off with a Skype call to Dad.
Love you Daddy!!!
Called up Mom who was at my sister's place in Bangalore and did yet another Skype with Mom, Deena, Seby and my sweet Nephew RJ (Raphael Joseph AKA my "Rappi" kuttan)
It was a heavenly bliss when I saw RJ saying (for the first time) that his uncle's name is "Danny" and when he wished me saying "Happy Birthday to you."
Deena, Seby, Mummy and RJ; Love you!!!
I miss you Rappi Kutta
Friends
The most important thing with friends apart from the numerous wishes over FB/ unexpected but welcoming phone calls are the few small sacrifices that a few of them made to make my day better. A few of them worth mentioning were:
- When one of my best friends (Kams) apologized that she couldn't decorate my house/ buy me a cake like last year. "She was sick and she still managed to get me a few Birthday Gifts."
- When my friend, ex-roommate and colleague (Ashok) covered me at work and took the responsibility of my work for the day.
- The best for the last - When my friends "Sudip and Meryl" baked me a birthday cake and prepared an awesome dinner with two main courses and several side dishes/ gravy. "This was after both of them worked different shifts to balance their work life and take care of their 5 month old baby."
Guys, all of you just made me feel blessed and my day special; Love you all!!!
Overall, it was a wonderful day. Off to bed now with these wonderful memories.
Cheers,
Danny :)
