Birthday at Pune

31st Aug 09 - My first birthday at overseas.

When I last know that I will be at Pune on my birthday, I have mixed feelings. Away from my family on this day was a bit upset. But on the other hand, got to celebrate with my supervisor whose birthday is the same as me.
Our initial plan was to travel to Agra and look at Taj Mahal the weekend before. But it was called off due to the long journey. So on last Sat, we went to one of the fort and roam the city. Our dinner was settled at one of the Japanese restaurant in O Hotel.



Monday morning, everything was per normal. Start off with a simple breakfast at the hotel we leave for work. The colleagues came around us and give us their wishes. During the day, there were a chain of sms from frens and relatives. Yuva called and send her vocal wishes too.

In the evening close to 6 pm, we were given a surprise. The Pune colleagues prepared 2 cakes for each of us. We cut the cake and share with the office staff.



Back to hotel, we sat for a normal dinner. About 9pm we retired to our own room which another surprise for us. There was a huge birthday card on the office desk with the hotel's staff signing their wishes. That was very sweet and touching.

A last surprise was a friend added me on facebook unexpectedly on this day.


This had been a memorable birthday.
