Yesterday I finished yet another year of my life. I choose to stay at home. It sounds a little childish to take a leave on your birthday but I was not in a mood to go through the sub-human routine of train and rickshaw. Manu, on the other hand, went to school. I felt it was unfair to send him school on his and mine birthday while I myself stay at home so I have decided that if the conditions remain the same next year too, I will go to office and to avoid the free full body massaged in the train, I will travel in a cab.
