1711 !

It's nearly two weeks now since that date, but I felt it still deserved a write up. One week since her arrival from the US... it was Chinni's Birthday. The 16th was just another normal day at office for me... but a lot was going on in the background. Chotu and Sujeet were at home too. We made some small preps for the midnight that was to come. That evening actually Me and Chinni were invited to my DIG's house (who live just next door), for dinner as it was his daughter's Birthday. So we got dressed up went to our next door neighbors. As we finished Dinner and returned home, Chotu and Sujeet got the house decorated as planned, for the other Birthday that was to begin. Chinni was taken by surprise, but I felt it was too early for that. We then spent the rest of the evening looking at some of Chinnis pictures of her US visit on the TV, and as it got closer to midnight, we brought in the Cake and had a short and sweet Cake-Cutting ceremony.

The next morning, it was office as usual again, but I was all engaged with the bigger surprise to be brought in that evening. After all the rush hour co-ordination, I finally returned home from office by about 6 in the evening. Chinni was still not out of her Jet lag and was sleeping. As planned, her surprise just then arrived at the door step. Chotu was too excited seeing and I told him to go wake Chinni up and bring her to the door, with her eyes closed. He did exactly that and as she arrived at the door step.... there it was her new car registered with the number "1711".

Chinni was for sure excited at the new arrival. She grabbed the keys and took to the wheel immediately. After the initial excitement was over, we all got dressed up and left for the "Prasanna Ganapathy Temple" on Kasturba road for the Pooja. After Pooja we all drove in the new car to the Manthri Square for Chinni's Birthday dinner. But then Chotu wanted to watch a movie and so we decided we'll grab some quick dinner at the Food Court and watch TINTIN the movie on 3D at the Inox. Dont know why but... except for Chinni, all of us dozed off in our seats once the movie started. Chotu infact had to be woken up when all of us were leaving. Nevertheless.... it was one memorable Birthday !
