Guys ... yesterday , I turned 26 . !!!! .
On all my previous birthdays .. I used to feel excited of growing older.
This birthday also came as a reminder that I'm turning older . Curiously , "turning older" didnt sound like "growing older". And I was feeling a gloominess or sudden sense of voidness. It could be due to the hairline going north , or the sight of seeing all my peers getting married off. Whatever be the reason, my birthday was not exciting for me as my previous ones. The best half of my life has ended. And I dont have many more days, to do all the crazy things I wanted to do in my life.
But for all these pointless remorse over myself turning older , this Birthday was exciting to me in a special way. I was taken to the peaks of irritation on 14th night by Susy , Tobby and others . I was desperate to get back to office , but they were asking me to stay put inside the car. And then to add injury to irritation , Tobby vetoed my decision to stay away from Hotel Abad Atrium. And poor me , was fuming and irritated untill I saw this crowd of over fifteen friends singing , "Happy B'thday Sojish" . Only when I reached the Restaurant did I know that, all these people where playing a well directed and executed Drama. And what an event it turned out to be ?. Its going to be a special night in my life , the memories which I'll take to the graves . Thank you consiperators/directors for arranging such a gala event for me and also for all those made it to the restaurant and also for those couldnt make it .

On reaching back to office , I got birthday wishes from dad and also from other friends of mine. Anand ( Bud-E ) called me at around 1 o' clock to send his Birthday Gift . And what a Gift it was
Soul-mates

(Inspired by Unni Menon's 'Oru Chempaneerpooviruthu' - OST Sthithi)
Ne'er once have I paused to extend to you,
Ever a rose of the most common ilk
Yet have I wondered how you chanced to know
That the rose of my heart blooms for you
Spreads sweet fragrance, all for you.
Ne'er once did the honey that swells my heart
Escape as words that your ears longed to hear,
Ne'er once did I wipe the dew from your eyes
From the lonely nights, though I was near
Yet you knew, in the depths of your soul,
Every thought of mine, every dream, was of you,
Each look, every breath, all for you.
Ne'er have I sung, even hummed along,
Not a note from the symphony that is 'us',
Ne'er once have I held you in warm embrace
Through the cold of winter's reluctant dawn,
Yet you knew, in every sinew,
That my mind knows yours as you do me
That each thought embraces all of you.
Have I wondered how you chanced to know,
Often have I wondered how...
-Anand Menon.
The song , "Oru chempaneer pooviruthu" is one of my favorites . This love song is written , directed and sung by UnniMenon . Many a poets were able to describe love in their own poems, but you could easily classify them to either of these categories ... 1) I love you 2) I miss you . Unnimenon's song depicts love using a complex situation but simple words. The protagonist (who painfully admits that he never expressed his love ) is asking his love , how she figured out that he loved her so much.
Without asking Bud-e's permission, I'm dedicating the above lines to all my friends out there. Thanks for smiling at me . :-) .
with a big grin on my face .
Sojish
