September has always been different for me!
When I was a child, September had a quite assorted place in my life.
-It meant begining of birthday month
-My family, consisting of many cousins have birthdays on 1st,5th,6th,11th,12th,15th,19th,20th,21st,23rd, 24th[of course its mine!], 26th, 30th.Phew.......my God, and we used to celebrate each one with the same pomp and frolic every year!
-relatives-friends studded birthdays, chocolates and tofees during the day in school and a cute homely party at night.What great fun it was...I miss them all.
-few funny incidents- I used to be super enthu concerning gifts, Once my cousin sis[kaka's family from port blair] were there during the month, for all the birthdays, we[me, my sis, and my smaller cousin bro] used to plan out and guess the gift underneath the wrapper along with tasting the cake beforehand, we would have continued our this piece of mischief, unless my birthday wouldn't have come, on my birthday these two people personified the hindi proverb "meri billi mujhi se myaoon" :)
they not only accepted and grabbed all my gifts beforehand, but also posed that it was their birth right to do that. Also they tasted half of my birthday cake before I could cut it. Neither could I say "no" to them , nor could I stop them from doing mischief, Afterall I had been a partner in their crime every time before!
chor chor chachere, mamere bhai behen .......ha ha

-but now everything has changed, I haven't celebrated my b'day with family and homely frnds since last 4-5 years, although at that point of time it seemed so kiddish, now I crave for it! What an irony life is!
