    I never knew what I was getting in to. Believe me! I didn't want to do it one bit, but now I have no choice. And, God! The timing could not be worse! I wonder whether anyone will feel like me, but nevertheless, each of us are unique. Isn't it? And if you were me, you will be afraid as well.

    People often see me as solid, composed and a man of few words in general, but were always quick to correct themselves on the last part. Yes. They say that once I start speaking, its like a floodgate opened. And it has the same effect - of being drowned when you are there. Fine. They think that I am a natural. I am not! I am afraid and fear doing a few things. This stands on top.

    I had to do it, no option! I saw them decorating someone previously and it looked absolutely marvellous just to look. Had I been told earlier that there is such a thing to be done, I would've run away. But now, as I stand before them, they gave me what I dreaded. Its not what they gave me that made me afraid, but what was about to happen next.

    I saw it. It looked clean, new and sharp, as I run my fingers over its tips. They took it as an appreciation and lead me to the place where all eyes were, till I went. The background music seemed to erupt all of a sudden. And there was something happening everywhere till I reached there. Feeling slightly confident, I raised the knife, pierced it and dragged along and was bold enough to cut something apart. Suddenly, I felt lighter and felt a bit of a joy.

    They all clapped and sang "Happy Birthday!".

    Thanks a lot Dhivya, for your first and quick feedback and wish. Very happy to receive it. Just to let you know that today is not my birthday. But the feel I had on that day, when there was a surprise cake cutting ceremony at work - I reminisced that and wrote this. -rgs

    You had the right question Pallavi. What I meant is just this: How to accept gracefully and stand there not being moved. Be it in personal life or otherwise, its always easy to take in harsh words / mock [I had had enough share of it already], but dealing with affection [this too] is always difficult. Well. Thats my view. Thanks for your feedback. -rgs

    Thanks so much for explaining. :) Ofcourse, it is difficult to deal with affection sometimes, not always.. for me

    OK, if i have to wish you 'Happy birthday' today, should i prefix advance or belated?

    Hardly you give option to comment differently (so the first line) "Nice one RGS" :)
