Birthdays come only once in a year and
last year I celebrated my birthday the way I wanted to. My parents were
gracious – enough to ask me for anything on that day and I asked them to
arrange a grand party for my friends.
My mother is my best friend when it
comes to inviting friends home. She helped me to make invitation cards
and to fill them up with names. She made a list of all the friends I
wanted to call and then made a card to send to each of my friends. The
contents of each card were different so as to suit the taste of the
particular friend to whom it was sent.
Thereafter she took me to the market and
bought balloons and streamers, masks and caps, etc to decorate the
house with. We ordered the cake and bought wrapping paper along with the
return presents. As we reached home we sat down to work. We put up the
streamers with tape and hung the balloons all over the walls and on the
fans and doors and windows. We arranged the marks and caps in such a way
that each friend of mine would pick one of his choices.
Mother was very busy. She spent the
whole day in the kitchen cooking for all my friends. The cake arrived in
the evening and soon my friends started pouring in. My father arranged
some games for them and he became the referee for all our games. He
arranged musical chairs, passing the parcel, follow the leader, dumb
charades, etc. and all the children enjoyed themselves.
We had our tea after the cake was cut by
me. The cake was in the shape of a beautiful house with colourful
fencing and big chunks of chocolate. I was drowned in gifts once my
friends left and I went to bed with the satisfaction of having enjoyed
the best birthday party of my life.
