23rd November 1990

November was by itself a festive month with the pooja holidays and Diwali that leave behind a lot of cheerfulness. 23rd November was the special day of every year, it always brought only joy and more joy to him...but 23rd November 1990 had a greater influence in their lives….Read on if you found this interesting :-)

Jillu was still closing his eyes tightly, pretending he was sleeping…he couldn’t resist the aroma from mom’s kitchen… Paal pradhaman, vengaaya arachi vitta sambar, thakkaali rasam and aloo fry... all were his favorites…. He wondered…"Is it a Sunday???" But then he remembered it was his favorite Bhagya Miss’ Maths period …that was the first class of every Friday in his 4th standard…

He could now hear amma wishing appa “happy b’day dear”… and now turning to him… she gently kissed her only darling son and wished “happy b’day kondae”. Yep.. Jillu and his dad shared their birthdays… that made this day a special day of every year… Jillu got another kiss from appa… and he hugged his dad and wished him back…

Amma gave him an oil bath and Jillu got ready to go to school… A proud little man in his new shirt and full pants… It was time for the yummy paal payasam… he started his breakfast with the sweet… and then gobbled the masaala dosai, with just 5 minutes left to catch the school bus. Mom had packed all his favorites for lunch and his school bag was all set. He grabbed his chocolate box and rushed out… wishing his dad again and blowing a kiss to mom…. Jillu was all excited… he could wear his B’day dress to school today and all the rest of his friends would be in their white n white half pants…
This day started with all cheers....

Birthdays are always a rejoicing day at school. "The Happy Birthday song”, chocolates, those little birthday cards and small gifts, all your friends would be hanging around you, even teachers wouldn’t scold you if you had not completed your homework, a total goody goody day. You would always wish to have a b’day everyday…It is always a special day….
