Happy Birthday, Pinky!

How would you like to wish your childhood friend on her birthday? I thought sending a simple note on face book wall should not be well enough to wish happy birthday to a simple, loving, caring and a very down to earth girl who happens to be your most favorite childhood friend. Although I can't wish her in person; I will send bunch of happy thoughts for her to make her day very special!

Today is my friend pinky’s birthday (Her real name is Minal but I am used to call her pinky. I know she might not like calling her with her nick name but I tell you, I am not going to change myself for this.. lol) …. And for a few moments I would like to drift back in time where we both grew up. If I am given a chance to live my past again, Bilimora would be the only place in my dictionary where I would like to go back and live every single moment I spent there with my lovely friends.

I still remember both of us sitting on a terrace sharing hopes and thoughts and dreams for the future. On her birthday, I wanted to take a moment to wish her all the happiness and comforts in life. I wish life’s brightest joys illuminate her path, and may each day’s journey make her dreams come true.
We grew up through the kinder garden, primary and high school together, celebrating birthdays every year by distributing chocolates in the entire community where we lived together for almost 17 years. I just cant forget those priceless moments and fighting for the small things till death!!! Playing all the silly games with great excitement, dancing on the bollywood track, going to cinema every time new movie hits the market, eagerly waiting for the results after exams are over and once result is out comparing grades with each other, borrowing money, borrowing scooty or sunny every other day, eating pani puri at the railway station.. oh my god, the list is infinite...

Today we have both married and still stayed in touch all these years. I would like to take a chance to tell her that I really miss her and all the fun we used to have. Today on her birthday, I am wishing her good luck to convert every single dream into reality.

Dear,

May this birthday offer you as much joy and happiness as you give to all who know you. Make the most of this birthday!!! Remember you are really very special!

Because time itself is like a spiral, I truly believe that something special happens every year. A birthday is just the first day to start another 365 days long journey. Enjoy the trip with great eagerness!!!

 Happy Birthday!!!
