How I Celebrated My Birthday
I feel special joy in thinking about my birthday as it is also the day on which my country became a republic. I was born on 26th January sixteen years ago. Usually two days before my birthday, I and my sister start preparing for the big day. Both of us invite our friends for the coming party. Before the actual party starts I along with my parents visit the Blind Association to donate a certain amount to their welfare fund.
Our friends start arriving at around 5.30 PM. I receive all my friends and make them sit comfortably in the decorated room. They all bring gifts nicely packed in coloured wrappers. This time I also got a nice surprise, as my grandparents who, live in U.S. had especially flown to India for my birthday. They had also brought me nice presents.
When everyone was gathered in the room, my mother brought my favourite chocolate cake with candles lit on its corner. As I blowed off the candles and cut the cake, all my friends, family started singing “Happy Birthday.” Everyone wished me a nice future, as the cake and drinks were doing the rounds.
We all played a lot of interesting games. As the evening drew to a close it was time to finish the party as some of my friends came from far off places.
I celebrated my birthday with a lot of dazzle and gaitey.
