July 11th Of every Year
Dates aren't fixed suddenly or randomly. Before the 8th century B.C, there was no "Kalends" -(The calendar was previously pronounced in this way) and months were assigned only with the rise of the moon and it was announced to the king of the empire. I seriously wonder, how could a roman remember some specific or special day or moment only by seeing the sky. Amazing isn't it?? Thanks to the Romans who created a calendar for the upcoming generations. And thanks to those who invented papers, which made a calendar to be printed. And thanks to mankind and its brain to store memories.
Memories… Everyone has a special date to remember. Our birthday, the First day of school, the first day of college, marriage date, etc. Somehow we can memorise these dates, right? But, there are some dates, it will not belong to us, but our special persons. Yes, this date July 11th is someone's special to me. It's that person's born day. And its “she” - a female cloud in my life
Let me start from my routine… MBA in hospital management student… one of the best colleges in Chennai… What makes it special to me is not those credentials… but it's the birthplace of Jingle…
I knew her only after 2013, and we become close after 2016- since then her birthday was to me.. Special persons are gifts to us, right?? That's why we gift something to them on some special occasion...
And for her, I always plan before a month itself. Sometimes, it will work out, sometimes not. Depends on her mood to accept. I mean.. Accepting my gifts.
I mentioned her like a cloud in my life, remember?? Clouds are a cluster of tiny particles, water vapour and droplets which form the future rain. So does she… Her little earrings hold her hair threads, hair bands that wrap her hair, Eyes which through questions at you, emotionally strong and duck-like walk.
Okay… her birthday times… every time I plan for her birthday, something stops me from making those planned things happen… sometimes she doesn't want to accept. Sometimes we can't meet in person…
Once, I planned to get her a watch. And I won.. next time I tried for a ... Fortunately, it happened too. Another time, I planned for cake, "Failure", And years passed by, I again planned to buy her watch. Failed again, This year I wanted to order a cake for her, but again Fail… It turned out to be a Sunday… But to my surprise, she had a cake cutting ceremony twice this year, one at home and one at her office.. I remember her telling me that, she likes the moments of being celebrated and especially on her birthday… Happy for her growth in all these years and let her pass the clouds and reach the sky..
To be continued…
