Birthday reminders via orkut !
Couple of days back, I wanted to remove my Bdate from my orkut profile, bcos I didnt like the idea of people flooding my page with bday wishes scraps, just bcos the reminder showed up on their page. I usually wish people, when I remember their bday from my memory, there are cases, when I actually forget to wish people also, but then I prefer that than using a reminder. But then, just bcos my style of wishing people was different from others, I didnt want to edit/hide my bdate on my profile and I let it be, as it was.
Now, the idea of retaining the bdate, is actually turning out to be good, bcos I realized yesterday that orkut has already started showing up bday reminders for my bday on my friends' pages. Yesterday, one of my old friends AI( the first person, I met at my first corporate world) , with whom I shared an apartment 4 years back, happened to see the reminder and decided to call me at 11 pm, wishing me 10 days in advance. Now, I am not a person who fancies and gets delighted for bdays and wishes all, but then the feeling of catching up with somebody from past, talking and re-living memories of days and fun spent together was a nice little bday gift. I suddenly felt 4 years younger, new to the corporate world, full of dreams and energy to make it big in my career, looking forward to a beautiful life ahead.. Things definitely have not been as predicted, but then its nice when you go back the memory lane and see how much your life has deviated from the line_of_hopes_and_dreams. There is good and bad anyways :)
Btw, as a self bday gift, I managed to get myself this cool guy. I have been in love with this guy for the past 6-8 months and finally taken the decision to get committed. I think, I was already committed, I couldnt take my eyes off him, inspite of all the new guys reaching the market now . Thanks to
ranjith,
kingsly, and
jnagal for motivating me to take this decision( of shelling out the money) and providing me the right inputs and pointers. Thanks to RC for bringing this for me from the US, I only wish he could reach Blore before Apr 21, so that I get to celebrate my bday with the new man :P
So, no more mobile camera pics, but then there could be more spam mails with jpgs :) Stay tuned warned !
