My 21st Birthday…

I don’t know how u guys felt on ur 21st bday,but for me it wasn't like my other birthdays.. I felt really different today..as if I suddenly realized tht now I’m grown up!I mean-21 is considered to be an ADULT!(baap re-me an adult!!).I was excited on my 18th birthday because at tht time I loved growin old..but not anymore..Me and my friend came to the conclusion tht at 18 ur a major but at 21-ur an actual adult(mentally kathe!)
(I stil think-“My God!I’m ACTUALLY 21”)Maybe now I see the responsibilities that are lying ahead.I mostly will move out of Hyd-either for studies or for my job-so for the first time wil be stayin away from mamma-daddy!N one of the worst parts of growing up is tht my young nephews n nieces wil now call me chinnamma(aunty) rather than an akka(didi)which I would’v loved.
I just remembered a few of my cousins who got married at 21!WAT THE…..$#@#$%% How could they do tht..I mean-I stil feel like a kid(NOT THT I BEHAVE LIKE ONE!).So this coming yr I guess I’l also have to face some anxious over excited relatives who just jump over innocent girls who just crossed 21 to get them married!
Thanks to Orkut-a lot more friends called n wished-I felt really good.So for once I think orkut rocks!!
Now coming to my celebration part-it was pretty good..esp the evening!It didn start off too well..the lunch place was disastrous-the food sucked!I saw ‘harry porter’.Now I know thts not a very good idea(everybody’s whose heard this has just been askin me-“why harry porter” because I’m the kind who slept off reading the first harry porter book..tht too in the first chapter!).
The most embarrassing part was in the evening.We had a small get-together at a hotel..there was another group of around 10 ppl beside us n they suddenly started singing the “happy birthday..” song..It was the birthday of a qute boy..hardly 5 yrs old n his mom was helping him cut the cake-the scene was pretty qute!now fastforward an hour and a half.(tht family was stil there beside us)Suddenly I was surprised by a cake.(Till here it was ok).N then my family started singing "happy birthday dear divya.." tht too loudly!!!(with my jeeja ji encouraging everybody sayin”we should be louder than them!”)From my aunts-uncles to my youngest cousin everyone started singing n then clapped after the song!I even blew the numbered candle-21,2 n 1!!I really felt like a mix of a 2 yr old and a 1 yr old looking at those candles..I started the day feeling I’m a grown up now n again thinking about the evening..maybe am stil a kid and woh sab responsibilities ke liye abhi time hai...shayad!!
