    I am a forgetful person. I forget faces easily and just don't get me started about names. If we don't meet daily, chances are that you have to introduce yourself every time we meet.I want to say something more about me but I don't remember exactly what.

    It was a busy day at work.
    I am tired so I am going to order pizza and watch some TV before I go to bed.

    Tring…Tring...
    Someone is at the door.
    'Who could it be?', thought I. 'I haven't invited anyone as far as I remember.'

    But you know I am a forgetful person. I may have invited a friend after all. I open the door and there is a cabbie.
    'Your cab is here, ma'am.'
    Err…that's strange. I don't remember ordering a cab. But then again I can't really boast about my memory.

    'Are you ready, ma'am?'
    'Err..I don't think I ordered a cab.'

    The cabbie looks at me with surprise.
    'You had ordered a cab yesterday. I was supposed to pick you up at 8 tonight and drive you to 36, Gulmahor Park.'

    'Am I supposed to be somewhere...namely 36, Gulmahor Park?'
    'Has someone been waiting for me there?'

    I think I should go and check.I have missed many a functions because of my forgetfulness. I can't let my memory fail me again. So I got ready and went in the cab.

    The cabbie dropped me at 36, Gulmahor Park and left. I don't recognize this place. It's getting dark and I am all alone. There is no one waiting for me. There is an eerie silence around me. I think I should leave this place and head home. I turn to leave and there is a loud bang. I am paralyzed with fear.
    I hear a scream!

    'Surprise!!!!'
    Then I realized it's my birthday today and my family had thrown a party for me.'

    Nice narration Pooja. Being forgetful is a blessing in many ways though not favorable at times.
