Here I Am

How are you all? Nice to meet you again after a long time vacation. Recently, i was very busy doing my desertation for my last year, so I didn't have much time to write some news. My desertation was not complete yet, but now i am not very busy, because it is aleady been done 60%.

A few month back, i celebrated my birthday. This birthday was one of the most special birthdays that i ever celebrated. It was because the party took place outside Delhi, it was in a place where i had a field research, and all of my classmates gave a surprised party for me.

Actually, i already knew that my friends planned to make a party for me, but i didn't know what kind of party it was. Finally, the party day came. It was elevent o'clock in the evening. I were preparing myself to go to bed because i felt unwell. One of my friend invited me to join them outside. They made a bon-fire. At the first time, i said i didn't want to, but he continued asking me and insisted me. Then i went out with him.

I joined the group while they were singing an Hindi song, and i joined them to sing also. While we were singing, from the door, came my other two friends carrying a birthday cake with candles over it, and they changed the Hindi song with a birthday song. "Happy birthday to you......happy birthday to you....happy birthday to Rini.....happy birthday to you....". At that very moment, i couldn't say a word. I only stood and kept silent during that time.

My teacher, then, asked me to blow the candles after making a wish. I made a wish and i blew the candles with a great joy in my heart. We continued the party until 1 o'clock.

Before going to bed, i prayed to God, not for me, but for my parents and my friends, all of my friends who were there or not there. I started crying when i remembered two years ago i still celebrated my birthday with my family, my father and mother, my brother, and my natives. Now here, when i celebrated it alone, without them, i felt something missing in my heart. But thanks to all of my friends who were very kind and would always be. May God gives goodness to all of us.
