A Week makes me weak!

First of all, thank you for your interest in reading my blog! Yeah I know its sounds too cliché but hey! I mean it. Although I did want to write stories as a child, it soon turned out that such fantasies seemed juvenile as age began piling up the shoulders. The undisturbed, carefree, calm mind was in the process of getting tangled in the storm of expectation, fear of failure and the ultimate emotional sushi: Embarrassment! What if I am wrong, What if people laugh at me, What if no one wants to be friends with me... so on & so forth. Phewww.. I guess that sums up the entire boring story I intended to convey here ;-)

Now, coming to the question of what inspired me to start writing a blog! Well, the spark was reignited when I recently I read a travel blog of my friend (who likes to be called “The Photographer”) Not to forget the sweet words of encouragement that came across from a very special someone. Ah ha, now relax that raised eyebrow as I will reveal who that is by the end of all the posts under this topic- “My First for the Best” (doesn’t this ring any bell in your head on what I’m talking about here!)

Without further detail, let me brief you about “My Special Someone”(Gosh, isn’t that a tacky term! never mind) That Special Someone who occupies more than just my internet blogger space is called as sandy by his close friends, sunny by my friends, sun(not SON) by mom and the most recent nomenclature- The Saint! However I call him by zillion different names but would like to mention only “appi” here J

So the sole reason behind this topic is the upcoming big day- My appi’s birthday! (Dictionary suggests ape’s for appi’s.. he he he).Not just any birthday, the silver jubilee celebration day. Yes it’s the 25^th birthday. On 15^th June 1986, a cute looking chubby little star was born in a small hospital in Mysore. Even though he is well known for his calm nature & downtoearth (one more cliché but this is the truth!) attitude, his mom certainly recalls how troublesome he was until he turned 2. Unfortunately the shift from the peaceful & serene Mysore to the noisy & populated Bangalore drained out the troublemaker and seems to have instilled a sweet home maker we see to date!

I guess the above introduction is quite obliging for anyone who doesn’t know him well enough. So, to date it’s a week left for the D-day and I have so much to prepare. Try to think of all the lovely presents you can gift your loved one with… cards, something special from Archies, clothing, personalized gifts like painting, photo frame, homemade vase with red ribbon roses, glass painting, cute baby tee’s… yes these are the things which came to my mind so all this has already been gifted!

Then what next? What bigger and memorable than any of the above?! My ideas to make the day special in my next post! Ciao for now J
