A birthday surprise!!! November 13, 2007

I think it was my 15th birthday. Being a holiday, my mom had invited my friends over for a small party kind of thing. I had it all planned, the things we would do, the things we would play after the party and at the end of everything, a movie on the VCR with friends. I didn’t get to see much of movies those days coz high speed Internet and downloading movies from net was something unheard of those days. Anyway, since most of my friends hadnt seen “GUPT”, I asked my friend Krishna Mohan to bring the cassette while coming over. After all the fun we had cutting cake, partying and stuff we finally settled down to watch the movie. I knew that it was an excellent mystery story, but Krishna having already seen it and exited kept whispering the next scene to me. Finally fed up with the ‘preview’ of next scene I was getting, I told him:”See I know its a wonderful story and that you have already seen it. For heavens sake don’t spoil the suspense and please stop narrating the next scene”. Still lying on the sofa watching the movie biting the chips, he casually… but very loud he said… “Ok, whatever… story isn’t that great, Kajol is the killer.” Makes me wonder till date why I didnt break his neck on my 15th birthday.
