How we celeberated his Last Bday

Cake cutting, gifts, music, song by Ma and lots of food used be a normal way to celebrate Birthdays.

School Days: Ma used to give a big bag of toffees to distribute in class.
In the evening we used to cut cake, I used to make good dishes , decorate the house with Balloons and frills.
Jaya, Rahul, Kshboo, Chachi Chaha and Jugga Mausi, Rajesh, Brijesh, mausaji used to be there in most of our birthdays.
All the neighborhood kids used to throng in and ma used to ensure a lot of supply of snacks...for all of us.
Then when Ravi entered teenage he started going out for lunch with school friends and then home party in evening followed by a short outing with his friends (this started happening in college I guess).

Last Birthday Together

9th Dec 2003, was the last time we celebrated his Birthday. Ravi had coxed papa to buy a few Benetton shirt, trousers (some of them he never got an opportunity to wear also). He was looking a bit pale and had to return to Doon the next day. His friend from neighborhood (he has a big dog...I dont remember his name) was with us at home and I think Sandeep Sanehi also came to meet him.
After the cake cutting I left to attend a marriage. Even today I am deeply pained for having done so.
Ravi clicked some pics of mine in my white dress (I will upload all the pics...they r kept in delhi house).
Papa and Ma were happy and we were thinking that once he finishes his MSC IT from Doon he can do some thing else...he wanted to go to Australia.


Memory is giving way....thats why it is important to pen down what is lost.
