I turned 25 yesterday. It was an awesome day. Viral came back from Japan and joined office. It was after a long time my entire gang was together and it was soo much fun. Amidst all the fun and laughter I had a major "doh!" moment which would be retold countless times by my mom to all my relatives and her friends. After yesterday night's awesome party..I came back at 12. I entered my room to see a gift all wrapped up and neatly placed on my study table. It was a pleasant surprise indeed. I wasted no time in opening it. I found a really cool G-I Joe action figure of Snake Eyes. I was soo happy!..finally someone who gifted me something I loved. I went to sleep and the next morning (today)..my mom asks me "Did you see the gift??" I was shocked...did my parents gave me this?? After all these years they finally understood me??!! I asked them unbelievingly "Did you guys get this." My mom goes like "Yes..its nice ryt?". I said "Yes...its awesome..I plan to keep it on top of my computer table". Thats when they go like..."What!!!??" And what followed was mad laughter. It was not the "with you" laughter but the "at you" laughter. My mom told me (taking time in between her giggles) that it was not for me but for my li'l nephew in Kerala. Since I would be going to Kerala next wednesday for my cousin's engagement, my folks got it for my li'l nephew!! Damn!!..the way they mocked me the entire afternoon..with questions ranging from "When would you grow up??" to "Do you really want this? Should we get you another one?" to "Did you read the box?..it says 8 and below!" Damn..it was soo embarrassing. Anyways my nephew is a lucky kid..Snake Eyes is awesome.
