I remember once when me and Modita were discussing (over twitter :P) about how unexpected this jeevan is! And how great it feels to experience something nice when you are least expecting it!
My fifth semester had started with 'An Unexpected Sojourn' and interestingly it is now ending with another surprise.
The story starts thus:
It was a foggy day in December. And sitting somewhere inside the mighty campus of my college, as I was mustering all the broken pieces of courage to study for the LAST exam of the semester, somebody asked me to come over. While I was walking over, I had this turmoil of winter-plus-headache-plus-eye irritation-plus-exam-hatred going on, and I was trying to sort them one at a time.
This is what I saw upon going there, after which all this turmoil momentarily gave way:
Okay. So I saw a beautifully made paper lamp. And by the time I'm done with admiring it, I notice a scroll (tied by jugaad :P) kept on it. I observed it from every angle like a child who sees something new for the very first time and then I hear, "It is for you, you can read it!"
So after reading all of the letter I realized it was my birthday gift.
I have had many surprises on my birthday already. This one took it to the next level.
The lamp was made so nicely, that I don't think I have the right words to express my gratitude. I mean why would someone make such a nice thing for me when tomorrow is a very dangerous exam! :O
Deadly mode apart, this is how I got my lovely first lamp.
Moral of the story:
With this, the person has given a good reason that justifies the closing note in the letter. I don't simply go into raptures about everyone. I do have a bunch of really nice people around me to make me do that all the time.
Baaki baat baad mein
Happy Exams! I have to start a fight with five deadly units now. Meat. Lovely to eat. Nasty to study.
P.S. My birthday was 11 days ago. :D

"Here is a lamp with one light. Consider it as my symbolic wishes to light up your upcoming year with joy and happiness."(This is in relation to a book we are trying to read a little at the moment, "Light From Many Lamps")
