One of my special day's !
Yes , it's my birthday today and like all other years this was again a " special " day to remember ! While celebrating my 22nd birthday today , when I look back , all these years I have learned something . This birthday , I learned something which is quiet hygienic . Surprised ???
I realized that , out of all 365 days in a year , this is the day one takes bath properly [:D]. Between the age of 8 - 14 yrs , mothers would carry and ask their sons and daughters to take head bath with all kind of herbal and ayurvedic shampoos . Enter the teen-age , we tend to go to saloons , have a proper hair cut , have all kind of massages and facials to look refreshing .
And if you happen to be a grad student and staying at hostel , then your friends will make sure that you have a proper bath that day . They will smash cake on your face which was being taken care from past few days . All the cream will be nicely applied all over the body , sometimes rotten eggs will be smashed right on top of your head , you will be drenched with 1.5 ltr cold drink bottle which is terribly cold . And as a tradition of IIIT B , you will be thrown in pond for 3 times .
All this will compel you to take a nice 1/2 an hr shower scratching your body having body pains , because it's a regular custom to have birthday bumps on one's birthday .
Nonetheless , I have always enjoyed such religious acts and ceremonies and even today I did enjoy " my day " to the fullest .
If I start to pen down names who were responsible to make my day memorable this blog would never end up . So , I would like to thank all my beloved friends who made this day more memorable .
Cheers !
