5 cakes & 1/4 of a century

4th September is when I completed a quarter of a century. I turned 25 and it's been a rather eventful birthday indeed. 4th being a Sunday, the celebrations started on Saturday itself with my office team organizing a cakeand we had a lunch party too.

Saturday night I was witness to a great surprise party organized by my dear friends. I think Tushar, Pankaj & N did a splendid job organizing the entire night. It was indeed a great way to be with close friends and besides celebrating my birthday we also celebrated Pankaj's birthday which was a few days back. N give us a good one in the cake when she arranged for the "duo-celebrations". Of course the biggest bonus of the night was when my parents walked into the party just moments before I was about to cut thecake. Yooohoooo! Catch all the action at Flickr

It didn't just stop there, on Sunday I spent time cutting two more cakes - Hows that for a birthday? 5 cake cuttings? It's been a memorable birthday and I am glad it all happened with great joy. Although I put the photos online much earlier I couldn't get this post to go online earlier - it's been a crazy start for the week. Two account presentations and one pitch in the pipeline. If it wasn't for the support of a great team at work we would have ended up working for the entire night. The presentations went smooth and we seemed to have bagged the account, which only means the next two weeks are going to be crazy trying to wrap up all the project deliverables.

Today is Ganesh Chaturathi and a HOLIDAY at work. I have been exhausted so practically had to spend the day resting at home. However it gave me some time to get the photos organized and even send out thank you notes for the birthdaywishes.
