Wishes for you!

I'm not a religious person. I'm more spiritual, I believe. Earlier this year, I have been tested like I have never been tested before. There have been so many trials in all aspects of my life -- love, family, work, friends, self. My emotions were overflowing I didn't know how to contain myself. I was holding on to my virtues tightly.

Then I realized all the while I was seeking for material things.. until last Friday, while driving to work, I realized there is one thing that I really need -- peace. Peace on earth, peace on our hearts, peace of mind. There are millions of non-material things I can wish for you but this is what my heart yearns. Today, the 3rd of Nov - Zero Fourteen as you (will hopefully) blow the candle on your cake, I'll be praying and wishing you for one thing, peace.

I know it is not much Reetu, but this all I have to say - I will always remember the relationship we had and that was very special to me. I understand that there is no reason to be together again since you do not feel the same for me. Be sure that someone else will conquer your love, so I can only wish you the best.

Wishes for you!

It's all 3!!!

Wow, another year has raced away and I've learned that racing isn't just about paces or times - it's about enjoying the MOMENTS to celebrate the ACHIEVEMENT! and so here we are again.. another year older, another year wiser.. another year of trying to read, trying to write, trying to blog.. and another birthday.

Thinking over the course of the past year, I have grown and learned a bit more in my 30s...yea I don't fret when sharing my age - most  bouncers still tend to ID me at the entrance!

I am thirty-three years old.. man what happened to being 20? There is something almost comical in birthdays, because you know that time is passing- every day is another number, and after 28 or 30 or 31 days its another month, another season.. and before you know it an entire 365 days has passed you by. The funny part is that we continue to both loathe and love that day, each year its exciting because the number of years that your on earth changes and yet its just like any other day. Yet, there is something magically wonderful about your birthday day. I don't know if its just me but I couldn't help but be happy and giggly and cheery today.

This year, I got my first birthday wishes from my 4 and a half year old nephew that went something like "Haappy Birthday Jegan Mama" ... are you going to buy me a big spider man? :))) I loved how he wanted me to get him a big Spider Man on my birthday.. so cute, so innocent. I LOVE THEM!!

It  is only 8 a.m and I already got wishes from people I would have never expected!! .. Id say its turning out to be a wonderful birthday.

I hope anyone else who shares my December 16th birthday is having as awesome a birthday- day as I am..

Thanks to my mother for bearing the strength to bear me for 9 months and give me life 32 years ago.. I am here to enjoy this day! LOVE YOU AMMA & APPA too :)


Thank YOU all for continuing to visit, comment, and chat with me across social media. 

I *heart* you all!

It's all 3!!!

I turn 32 in today and I am making 32 seem sooooo damn young. So cheers to a sexy Birthday!

Wow - seriously? Where did the time go? I am so embarrassed that I have neglected my blog so much! No worries! Today I have some for you - Today I'm turning 32 it added one more year of experience to my life =)

I was just recalling the things changed in past one year and I learned few valuable things which will help me forever! I can really sense the changes as I'm growing .. changes around me, in me, my mindset, my outlook, everything changing =)

So, I really am 32!!!! It's true.  Let's talk about that for a second.

What is so wrong with getting older?  What is so wrong with aging with grace?  Why do we fight SO HARD against gaining a number?  I've been guilty of that.  I think I was just whining a few weeks ago about not wanting to turn 32.  But, why?

I've been thinking a lot about this lately.  For myself, I know the answer.  Somewhere in my head, I've decided that 32 means you are officially matured a grown up.  Not that I'm against being an adult, but I've been scared of personal expectations that I've put on myself... which is silly.  I love where I am in life.  I love my family, I love my friends, I love my pooches, I love my job, I love my blog, I love so many things about my life, why in the world would I want to make myself feel bad about the handful of things I have not yet accomplished?  So silly.

I will never stop at 31.  I will never lie about my number.  I will wear it proudly, embrace who I am, and be the best young guy I can be.

My plan for the day: I want to be free of thoughts and tensions on just this one day.! Nothing on my mind...absolutely nothing.

Still Smart and Sexy!!!

Mother, I wanted to wish you a very very happy birthday and remind myself that you are the best gift I can gift, in life I don't love everything that I come across, I look at something if it impresses me then I choose that among the rest and start loving it. But you my mother never had a chance to choose your child, how he/she should look like, what he/she should do, nothing. The pain you underwent to have a child is something far from my knowledge, but in spite of all that; If I were to ask what you love the most, you would very simply say, my kids, for you every thing comes after us. Love you Amma, wish you a happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Amma!

I haven’t seen you for a while. I’d like to say I miss your text, your funny e-messages. But if I were to tell the truth, that wouldn’t quite be true cause what I really miss is you. As you know, we take the same road in life but somewhere the road might branch out. I’d take my road and you’d take yours but the hearts always there around you.. take care of yourself my friend..
Spring has come; Bees are buzzing; Flowers are blooming; Here I am wishing you a very Happy Birthday!

I never forget the good you have done for me and the times you stood by me;

Happy Birthday Kiran!

Here is my confession on your day; The more number of fights we have, the more I end up loving you. The more number of times you yell at me, I grow fonder of you. May this bond keep growing forever. The best gift I can give you today is to pass on my dreams, good health, luck, fortune and happiness to you. May you have years full of happiness to come. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday dear sis. I love you!

It's My Day!!

Explore..

Is it today or tomorrow that I turn 31 years old? In any case not really a milestone marker, but I am pretty danged proud of myself for making it this far! And since it's my birthday, my gift to you, the outside world that is still plugged into the grid, is to let you see that I still haven't managed free myself from the matrix.

I was born on the 16th of December, in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. Today is the 15th of December in Washington DC, USA. At the same time it is already the 16th of December in Sri Lanka. Hence seeing I was born in Sri Lanka would I not have already lived my 30 years?

Of course this is important as it means I get to open my presents today. I am told I am have some cool things awaiting me (looks like I will never free myself from the matrix)! I tried to die on the past Wednesday. Not really on purpose. I went and played with my dogs in the park that late afternoon after returning from work. While I suffered no contact induced injuries, I seem to have forgotten in my senile old age to stretch ahead of time, and to maybe take it a bit easier than I did when I was 16. I ended up with a knot in my thigh, and strained something in my lower calf (all in my right leg), resulting in me limping thru the entirety of that night, and only today feeling 100% again. I was sure they were going to have to haul me off and put me down, like a horse with a broken leg. I also destroyed my very expensive $5 walmart special shoes. Not entirely, but when I took the shoes off I had some light greenish foamy powder residue all over my socks, all over my feet underneath the socks, and even more inside the shoes themselves. I don't know what it was, but something inside disintegrated into a fine powder. I'm sure if my mom was here she will blame my nasty feet and their odor for killing the shoes...she may be right, I really don't know.

Anyways, the birthday celebration is set for this upcoming Saturday night in NY. If you can't make it, you may send cash in the amount of $500 in your stead. I'll be sure to make sure the money feels right at home with me.

Not much else to say at this point...so I'll shove off and go get my breakfast...

It's My Day!!

Happy Birthday Pranav & Siddhu!

Explore..

Two years ago today, I urgently needed a haircut and was at a fucked up situation (mentally). My sister’s water broke that morning, and by 5 AM, I became Unlce (Mama) Jegan!!! Three weeks later I flew out to Dead-monton as my sister puts Edmonton, looked like a maniac in all the pictures with my boys, and then quit my job* (part-time) upon my return to Maryland. A few things will be different this time.

A week from today my bro is going to Edmonton again; to celebrate the two little youngsters’s second!!!!! birthday, while I am getting a haircut and staying back as I have other things to worry about.. or maybe I am forced to! Well, at lease this time around I won’t look like a maniac in all the pictures with my nephews. Simply because I wont be there physically!

But all my heart and soul is there with you only my beloved nephews Pranav & Sidharth! Here I wish you a many many Happy Happy Happy returns of the day!!!

Nephews: I know you guys won't be reading this nor would it make any sense to you now but jut like how you guys were loved even before you were born... (isn't that the greatest thing to know btw.. lol).... even before I knew you were you... I already loved you... I hope one day you will see this and remember me.

Happy Birthday... I Love You!

Happy Birthday Shankar!!!!

Here; I sing for you my twinkle twinkle little (tall) star,
How I wonder who we are..
but ever since, the day we talked,
It was just a mere coincidence...
From that day our friendship blossomed, like a song,
We suddenly became, very close.

Trust and support; mutually rely,
Lessons learned, we did apply.
Experiences taught, courses on life,
Mistakes were often, common and rife.
But we always took it with a smile!

Be it our take on onion or phelonion,
We always ended in union.
So once again I sing to you my friend;
Happy Birthday! Oh! twinkle twinkle little star,
You should know what you are,
And once you know what you are,
Mental hospital is not so far.... LOL just for fun!


I wish you the very best always man!! Keep smiling :)

Happy Birthday Shankar!!!!

My birthday today! Rejoice!

Explore..

Today is my birthday. To be honest with you, since I was old enough to think by myself, I do not really like celebrating my birthday … It is a sort of indefinable feeling that prevents me from jumping to the ceiling when this day comes …

But one thing is sure, I do appreciate when people remember it. That is the case today, especially when I didn’t know that I had so many great friends! Not many know when my birthday is;

Point one: I never put it out for anyone to see on any social sites;

Point two: I do not tell anyone when my birthday is even when asked;

Point three: I usually spend the day with my family and very close special friends only;

But anyway I was thrilled to have received some unexpected wishes.. and at the same time a bit disappointed when some expected wishes never made it through. But oh well, it’s better like that as it educates me.

How old am I? I’m young enough to act, to behave and to think like a “mature” man. If you get what I mean then you are probably around my age! LOL!

Is age that important? I don’t think so … at the same time I can’t seem to put out of my mind that I get older and older every year. I feel it as a kind of frustrating and slow walk towards my final destination: DEATH (now I know you’re getting scared). I know that I’m too young to think about death but I just don’t like this kind of “obligation” that years put on you, to be, to think and to act as it will never be.

On a happier note, this years birthday is indeed a very very very special one as I got my first wishes from my LOVED nephews!!!!! They made my entire year so worthwhile with their beautiful childlike rendition of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU with a kiss to seal it. I love them soooo very much! So once again; Today is my birthday and today ends in 2 mins!!!! IRONY!

My birthday today! Rejoice!
