I think I had already professed my love for october citing enough reasons for it!! After a week long hectic and funfilled Durga Puja celebrations, its time to cherish the birthday of my husband!! This year too was celebrated with the whole family; my inlaws had especially come all the way to see their son turning a year older.
This birthday has always bore special significance in my life... apart from the fact that its my life partner's birthday. Before we got married and the period after our engagement;i.e the scariest time period of any relationship :p that is in the year 2010, something weird happened. I was trying my level best to impress my inlaws (parents and his older sister) without losing my own self (though very difficult) and there my fiance was ruining everything unintentionally. He was trying to show them my very best, but somehow everything got screwed.
That year his birthday was on the first day of navratri. Usually on this day devotees fast and so were my inlaws..including his 5 year old nephew. I had planned an elaborate lunch with my fiance at Geoffreys after a day out. His parents and sisters were travelling all the way from Meerut to meet us and were not supposed to reach before evening (well according to my fiance). As we were about to enter the restaurant, I was constantly asking him to get updated about his parents' whereabouts. And he was constantly assuring me that they wont start their journey without informing him. I believed him, and then ordered. As soon as we finished ordering, His parents called saying they had reached Delhi. Oh my God!! I immediately got up saying that we should cancel our order and go to them. We were in South Delhi and they were in central Delhi. The drive would take atleast an hour at that time of the day. My poor fiance was torn between impressing his would be wife and being a good son. Well one cant have the cake and eat it too!!
We quickly polished off our plates. I had intended to change my outfit for something more appropriate, something for an ideal daughter in law. But we were in such a hurry that I simply skipped that part. His phone was continuously ringing, his sister demanding to know about his whereabouts and he was dodging answering anything clearly!!
By the time we hit the ring road, it was jam packed with traffic!! Frustrating as it would be, we were helpless. I was particularly feeling guilty for his nephew, who must have been famished and needed to break his fast immediately. It took two long hours to reach Central Delhi, and they were fuming in disappointment and hunger. Eyes popped at my garb, but everyone was too tired and famished to say anything!! We immediately took them to Haldirams and everything settled down. I would never forget his first birthday in my entire life!!
Well this year,thankfully everything went nice and smooth!! Thank God!!
