Jan 5' 12
I returned to my home for four years... my college hostel. Was real glad to see my whole "family" after a while. A Happy New Year to all. After all this socializing, I had a job to do. Jan 6 is my room-mate's birthday!! My first obvious thought was to get a cake... so I instantly smsed our dearest friend Shiksha, a sweet and ever so excited person. About an hour later, with a "just woke up" look on her face... she asked my roomie for me. Shiksha insisted I talk to her privately... fueling suspicions in roomie's mind. We talked in hushed tones and decided after Shiksha is done with her "meeting" with the first years, we two will go together to the bakery.
Roomie asked what "private" talks we had, to which I replied of some Robocon competition and debugging stuff that I had heard Shiksha discuss earlier with Leena, our Miss Super Intelligent.(Thank God I overhear, :D)
In the mess , during evening milk time, we met Leena... as roomie too was there , I pretended that I had received a msg from Shiksha for Leena (its a known fact Leena never carries her cellphone along) and passed on my phone to her. Ah! Ms Super Intelligent read out aloud: "Hey,secret ..kal Priya ka bday hai... cake lane jana hai..."
Alas! Priya the roomie couldn't resist smirking.... but as they say party must go on. Shiksha insisted for the cake; we got a black forest, a few cupcakes, Five Star and Mars bar..... :)
But Ms. Roomie.... surprise isn't over yet.... I had secretly messaged all to surprise her by invading our room @ 12 in the night!! And even asked Roohi-- who had left our college to pursue her dreams of being a doc-- and was a close friend of Priya-- to surprise call her . Well, all these things may be a regular affair for everyone's birthday, but for Priya, there's never any surprise, and she never expects!
Our friend from Bhutan, Meenam, who was discharged from the hospital only yesterday, too dropped in (unexpectedly, given her health) to wish!
So, it was indeed a surprise party and we rocked it all right. Now, its her turn to treat us :D

| Thanks to Mayuri for this lovely little candle :D And to Shiksha who insisted for the cake in spite of Priya knowing about it. |
