Birthday Bash…
Posted by Prashanth | Filed under Uncategorized
p> The 28th of August, 1991 marked the day when God probably said, “Let there be light!” So, I, the creator of the most illuminating blog of the universe i.e LuminaR was born. So each year, this day is celebrated by some, and revered by others. I stand a testament to some of the most obnoxious events that took place in the world history… from Hong Kong gaining Liberation, to Melvin Shwartz passing off, August 28th is one of those days, when the world (or some part of it) trembled, literally, in Bosnia, less than 42 people were killed by a Mortar Shell. Martin Luther King delivered his memorable speech “I have a dream” in front of the Lincoln memorial. Other than that, even Leo Tolstoy was born on the same day.
So there you a lot of reasons to remember this day, so the next time, any LuminaR reader not wishing me would have his/her IP blocked! (I do have a database of the all the visitors on my blog, and I do note down the static IPs of the visitors close to me.) Anyway, my 16th Birthday was a nice day to live, so here is an account of it.
It was a nice coincidence on this day. Raksha Bandhan, the Indian day to celebrate the brother-sister relationship landed fortunately on my B’Day. Thanks to that, I had a holiday from school, and I had more than just one excuse to step out of the house and have fun. So first came the B’Day demands, 2 books - The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Stephen Hawking’s - God Created the Integers. Parents promptly gifted me those.
The afternoon was spent with friends at Nirula’s with a lunch. (Nope, I didn’t pay for the whole thing!) The evening with my sissy with a dinner at a newly discovered eateria called Garam Masala (will review it soon!) near Chanakya. Anyway, thanks to everyone who wished me on that day. Best wishes to the whole world, extra wishes to my readers, and love you all!
P.S: I have no illustrations for this post!

September 4th, 2007 at 7:23 amMidland gives great discounts and they almost never have a shortage of any books, and it’s also just 200 metres from my house. I just don’t know how they’re able to store so many books in such a constricted area.
If you have a book, just tell them a day in advance they’ll keep it ready for you.
