Generally I am a birthday lover
but when it comes to my own birthdays I am very uncomfortable celebrating it
for various reasons. I refrain from much of a celebration and usually let this
day pass without any hullaballoo. But
this year I was pleasantly surprised when I received the most wonderful
birthday gifts I could have ever asked for. And icing on the cake was it came
from absolute strangers who made it the BESTEST birthday ever possible for me.
Blogging has surely opened up
doors to a wonderful new world where complete strangers are wonderful friends
now and who perhaps know me more than my real friends for they read what I
write. And writing more often than not brings out my inner most feelings which
I find difficult to share in person otherwise. Some lovely bloggers brightened
by birthday making me feel extra special so much so that today their gifts are
the oxygen I dive into anytime I feel low. The 7 most cherished gifts I have received till now:
The sender has
not only become a wonderful friend but I have also recently realized that she
happens to be my soul sister. Born just 15 days apart in the same year there is
nothing that is different in our lives! Starting from our likes – dislikes to
our life stories they are so eerily similar that sometimes I wonder is this
even possible! She is the one rock on whom I fall on every time I have a tear to shed of a smile to share.
2. A
handmade Book of love where I was described in different adjectives from A to
Z.
3. A personalized voice message telling me what difference I have made to her life
It feels so
touching and beautiful to read words like awesome, cute etc being used to
describe me. I cried when I first read it and I cry even now every time I flip
through its pages for the sender has never met me, spoken to me maybe just once
in the last few months that we know each other and yet feels that I deserve all
these things truly makes me feel out of the world. And yes for me she will
always remain Bacha ( that’s what I always call her!)
3. A personalized voice message telling me what difference I have made to her life
I have somehow
always adored sisters and am very close to all of them. So much so that I know
some of their deepest secrets which perhaps no one else does. This sender has
become one such sister for me and the moment I heard her singing for me
beginning with a Deeee…. I had this huge grin on my face ( I still have it as I
am typing it) ~ Srishti
4. A 16 paged letter where I was reminded of what all qualities I have
This sender has
become my best friend and somehow happens to be my guardian angel and also my
eternal wish granting fairy. He is someone who knows my deepest wishes even
without me expressing them. He is the one who has sent me what is undoubtedly the last telegram of my life and millions of other letters, cards, mails, songs and gifts just to see a SMILE :)
She fights, she
threatens, she smiles, she cries, she dotes, she adores and most importantly
she loves everything that I write. And yes she fights with me when I don’t for
her I am her Good morning call :)
Can anything be better than this, my heart screams NO!! She is that one reminder I need to remember my true calling everytime I forget it.
6. An
entire e-book is dedicated to me purely for the writer felt I inspired him to
write
This blogger I
met in a way I don’t even remember. And yes I truly love his stories no doubt
about it! But I did not know my random comments could lead to something like
this! Thanks so much Rejo...
7 7.An
email is sent to me from a person who had began reading my blogs exactly a year
back and how much change I have made in that person’s life since then till now.
