It was 2345 IST and there was I sitting knee bent on my bed in the hostel, with a maths book in hand trying to get some Fourier into my head. But in the inside i was waiting for the spine chilling birthday party our hostel buddies had organised for me. As my timepiece struck 12 , i didn't dare move my eyes off it. They entered in swarms. First they had the courtesy to greet me. Then my roommate Ankan gave a devil's eye look to me and then chuckled. I knew what was on. Two guys came with an insane mix of cosmetics and creams in their palm and before i could get a look at it, thumped it onto my face. Wow. So it had begun....
What was to follow was something that yours truly had got early rumours about. The guys asked me to go and wash my face in the bathroom.I knew the fishy thing about it. Hoping to act smart, I ran to the other bathroom and washed off the mix-de-hell from my face. On my way back, my friends lifted me and took me to the bathroom. There, one guy was ready with a bucket for me full of ..again... i dunno. Smelt of god knows what. Then came the ironic tryst. As i was about to being hit by the bucket pour, i slipped and fell. I didn't realise anything after the cold water hit me. They immediately took snaps and stuff. Then i found blood dripping from my chin.whoa, i mean, that was unexpected. Where did that come from?.the guys immediately washed my head off the smelling crap that they had mixed in the bucket. I could say i got a real Taj royale treatment as two caught my head and the third shampooed it. hmmm...relaxing . then we checked the wound on the chin. it was a deep cut. Clearly, a stitch. sigh...
i decided to stay my cool for then, and we went back to the room. A cake was ready for me. I cut the cake, and again took snaps. my chin, though didn't ache, did cause trouble.All this had happened in just an hour's time. but the fun was black marked by the chin tearing event. The next day i had my internals beginning. So slept off. To hell be the fourier. I decided to sleep. Got greeted by a few friends too. The birthday was fun. I had turned 19 and the most special thing about it is that , that's when both my date of birth and the stars coincide. Went to the doctor in he evening. Got three stitches. yeah now they do look ugly on my face. It has been long since i had a shave and so it did itch obviously. That was a seriously incidental birthday bash, one to remember.. with a scar..it was cool anyway.
