Getting up at 8am on a lazy sunday and that also on my birthday is not a good idea… but still I get up for getting that “Special” wala treatment from my family, relatives and friends. 😉
As soon as you wake up, how would you feel when you got to check 10 missedcalls and 25 SMSes and even 20 whatsapp messages on your mobile? Interesting and full of excitement… kisne kya bheja hoga types….
Happy happy wala feeling was going in my mind.. without wearing specks.. I just started concentrating entirely on my mobile and then suddenly got a ‘bulawa’ from my mom with a big smile on her face:
“Good Morning Beta. Happy Birthday to you! Comeon, go brush your teeth… ”
Haath mein mobile and getting an order to do an uninteresting job…. feels like 🙁
But its my birthday.. so I should behave like a good gal…
Daily routine work – Done!
Now rush to the mobile and start checking…
Happy Birthday
Wish you many many happy returns of the day
Birthday gal, wheres the party?
Kab mil rahi hai party dene?
Happy birthday dear. May you live long…
Bday , bday and bday messages all over… and I gave a smile to all wishes and say a simple “Thanks with a smiley :)”
Then check the balance (for SMSing everyone thankyou, balance kitna ghata? LOL)
Then call up those friends who forgot to wish me birthday…and make them feel embarrassed and asking for expensive gifts as punishment… 😉
“So what’s special on this birthday?” comes the question from my dad and I was like “I don’t know!”
Unplanned and directionless as usual, my mind was telling me “This time, make it an unforgettable birthday… how you gonna do.. i don’t know… but i feel you can do it..”
Whenever I feel like 🙂 🙂 🙂 or 🙁 🙁 :(, I always go to Bandra or Bandra Bandstand as its a very special place for me. I feel its my second home as i have learned many things and met a lot of good people over there…. got loads of happy happy and sad sad memories… which can’t be forgotten even if i become a patient of amnesia 😉
My mind was again asking “But this time what new?”
Phir yaad aaya… there is a place in Bandra which I always wanted to visit… Mount Marys Church, Bandstand, Carter Road – these are like everytime I go.. But i wanted to see a special person’s home…
I called up Vidya – my best friend… asked her “do you know where does Salman live in Bandra?
She was like “Arey pura duniya ko pata hai.. he stays at Galaxy Apartments which is near Bandstand”
Moi was “Kya? He stays near Bandstand? Udhar toh SRK ka bunglow hai na Mannat?”
Vidya said “Arey yedi! What did you do the whole year in Bandra? Your Sallu also stays nearby. Search for his address in Google”.
Full of excitement, i connected internet, searched “Salman Khan home address in Bandra” and got result “3 Galaxy Apartments, BJ Road, Bandstand, Bandra W”
Phir kya? Packed my bags… skipped my lunch… convinced my parents to let me enjoy atleast a day out of my place, SMSed everyone that I will be back home by 9pm and called up my best buddies to Bandra station.
Travelling sucks for me..and that also on Sunday when trains always run late… but today I was full excited… aisshi wali feeling as if m gonna do something big in life 😉
My 1 year experience going to a Bandra college says that “A rickshaw-walla will drop you to Linking Road 10 times if you want but he will never come to a place you want whenever you require”.. So we decided to do shopping and then go to Bandstand from there.
My friends were non-salman fans and I was the only one to be damn excited to go to Bandstand.
“Bhaiiya.. yeh Galaxy Apartments kaha hai?”
“Humein nahi pata..”
🙁 🙁 🙁
Thats what happened when we reached bandstand… then what… friends ko chahiye thi party… had pizza, sandwich, coffee and started having “Life Talks” that also philosophy wali…
Seeing the sunset and having idiotic friends alongwith who just wanna talk about life, life and nothing else… makes one feel as if we have come to a spiritual place…
Chalte chalte… yuhi raste pe mil gaya tha… kaun Salman? naaa….naaa… we met a guy who was also asking for Salman ka ghar… he was asking a coffee wala… “Bhai, yeh Salman ka ghar kidhar hai?”
And suddenly my face expressions changed to 🙂 🙂 🙂 … I ran to that shop and asked the guy and he gave me directions..
Looking at my friends’ faces who hate Salman for what he is… I was like.. arey Birthday gift samajh ke chalo yaar mere saath…
We walked, walked and walked… feeling was innaaaa dooor hai uska ghar…
Kisi bhi watchman ko puch lo… Galaxy apartments kaha hai? and they would say “humein nahi pata…” But if you ask the right question “Salman ka ghar kaha hai?” They would say “Go left, then right and again left”
We were really tired…qki hum log raasta bhatak gaye the…. 😉
Then I came across the B.J. Marg and i was like “Chalo chalo… apna destination aa gaya”
And what i saw was a huge crowd standing nearby a building shouting “Salman .. Salman…”
His home view – pic aint clear but “dekhne ke liye mann ki aankhein kaafi hai” 😉
My friends ” Dekh liya ghar… Ab chalein? Ghar bhi jaana hai”
Moi – “Wait karo na.. He will come outside to see us. He never disappoints his fans and i spoke to his Guards who said he is at home and would come out anytime.”
Friends – “Kuch bhi kya… u still believe in what they saying.. You see here there are 100s of people waiting and they keep waiting till 4am coz they got no work… die-hard fans hai… Tu toh nahi hai na…! Chal lets go… now you got to know where he stays, right?.. come every sunday over here…. 😉 ”
AND i was 🙁 a bit but 🙂 🙂 🙂 bcoz i discovered a new place today….. Galaxy Apartments hahaha….
My fangiri ended by shouting like other fans “Salman… salman…. and singing few songs”
Friends made fun of me all the way of my expressions and reactions when they said he has come out to see his fans… but it was indeed a memorable bday which ended by seeing BMS.co.in Logo on College Fest Hoardings put up opposite to Bandra station
What else could i ask for on my 23rd birthday.. whatever i wished for has come true… and whatever i wanted in life, i am on way achieving it…
Special thanks to everyone who made me feel special today and hope i meet “Salman” before my next bday.. haha… sorry.. hope i achieve something in life which i and everyone would be proud of! 🙂
