And you know you've had a special birthday when

• Birthday celebration continues on the next day . with me getting only a 4 hour sleep on my birthday .
• Its not even 12 and calls start coming , with a friend already on phone and not letting you put him on hold. Everybody wants to be the first one to wish . It strikes 12 and before anyone , my sister gets to be the first one :D
• Its 12 something and your mother's stuffing your mouth with coffee,almond,choco chips Kwality Walls as your hand's busy holding the phone with calls pouring from friends .
• Your father takes a day off to come visit you . 2 a.m he reaches with your brother and a special chocolate sandesh (my favorite ) from Calcutta. 
• Of all the expected wishes , the biggest , your crush drops you a birthday wish ;)
• You go off to sleep with a smile , to wake up knowing two of your college friends are outside your gate , having come a 7 hour train journey :) . "Your house is somewhat yellowish " he had to say to convince me on the phone. It was a big surprise , I couldn't stop asking them "how " and telling my mother " yes I did give them my address but was not expecting more than a gift ! "  
• One of your besties shouting at the other , thinking he hurt me on my birthday .
• Your juniors call you up to wish ( and its best not to save phone numbers ; its best when somebody unexpectedly calls you )
• Your friend has done some online photoshop card kinda thing for you , and an old friendship-turned-crush-turned-friendship-turned-cold-war guy who's not even in your friend list likes that photo .
• You are in a gift shop , and your 10 year old friend asks you to pick a gift ; and you chose a bookmark .
• You cut a rasgulla instead of cake , for you have eaten way too much on the previous day .
• You have things ,that if written here , would surely get you a spoilt tag 3:)
• Being an insomniac for the past 6 months you finally get a sound sleep at 11:30 p.m. ;)
