It was my coworker’s birthday on 21st May; and we decided to
celebrate it with lot of pomp and show. Actually 21st May was his
birth date only on the papers; the actual biological birthday was something
else. I used to take a dig at him, by saying that - after the gods you are the
only one who is born twice.
I decided to do something wacky on his birthday, to show him
how special he was to me and how much I cherished his friendship. I bought him
a sliced cake instead of the fresh cream cake. ‘Yes’ you heard it right “Sliced
cake”.
I invited the whole team to the conference room, for the cake
cutting. As soon as people poured in,
they broke out into a roar of laughter; on seeing the sliced cake on the table,
with 2 candles neatly placed on either side of the cake. It was fun to see
people laughing their heart out during the office hours.
We clicked a lot of photos of the birthday boy and then asked
him to deliver a birthday speech. He obliged, and spoke about how much embarrassed
and happy he felt at the same time.
It did not stop there! After the cake was cut and shutterbug
did its work, we wanted to give birthday bumps to the big boy. But, he started throwing
tantrums like a kid; he started running all over the place, as if we would crush
his balls with our Shaolin soccer kicks!
Happy birthday dear! Muah J
