Birthdays are good for you; the more you have, the longer you live!

Talk about lame. Eaa…I shouldn’t use that line any more.

Anyways yayyy its YOUR BIRTHDAY! And lets not forget its THIS BLOG's BIRTHDAY TOO! Its that special time of the year again! And this is the part of the blog post where I profusely apologize for being such a terrible friend. You deserve a more consistent and eloquent one. So, yea, I will try harder. Especially now that I spend most of time at a desk with little to do. Why am I at a desk? Why do I have nothing to do? Why am I being so mysterious with my questions rather than giving you answers? I will get there! And I promise I won’t Ted Mosby you for too long.

Firstly, no. Still don’t have my face on any formal documents save my passport. I should really be more proactive about getting a license. I have heard that it might actually be quicker to get one in the USA than in the Emirates. And I once I have it there getting it everywhere else shouldn’t be too hard. What about you? I know my cousin sister used to zoom about in her scooty when she was about your age.

It is funny you say you don’t remember the things that happened over the past year and yet you remember stalking me (and my cousins) :). I am honored.  I will try to lead a more exciting/scandalous lifestyle just in case you ever find the need to stalk my profile again for old times sake.

 So my cousins did visit us in May and were there for about two weeks. It was their first vacation out of India in about 12 years so there were plenty of ooos and aaahs over things we take for granted. We showed them all the usual touristy spots but decided against Ferrari World in the last minute. Why you ask? Because it didn’t compare to what we did instead. We had planned on taking them up to the viewing gallery in Burj Khalifa. However, it turns out that a really close friend of my dads, apartment sits/maintains a one bedroom apartment that his friend owns. When he found out that we were going there anyway he offered to not just take us to his apartment but also spend the night there  :O

It was on the 49^th floor but we had access to the executive lounge on the 123^rd. It was pretty sweet. Watched tv on their huge 3D LED screen all night, went to the lounge and drank iced lattes with our pinkies sticking out. Just cause we are that classy.

MUNs, speeches, FOUNDING MEMBER of the student council – all of that sounds as amazing! Founded the council! Wowie. That’s a resume maker if I have ever seen one. If you find yourself getting bored as the Treasurer stage a coup and take over the entire council. I know right! Awesome plan! Your team looks fun and so do your uniforms. Can’t go wrong with khakis and navy blue polos.

Season 2 of Game of Thrones ended with a brilliant season finale, The Killing ended too but I am yet to catch the last couple episodes. So right now I am watching the new episodes of Suits and old Scrubs re-runs. I only get home at around 6.30-6.45 just in time for So You Think You Can Dance! I love that show and I love Cat Deeley. What a great host! But why I am home so late? More questions…(the answer is terrible ordinary but like a J. J. Abrams  production I will keep the questions coming just to keep things interesting). Apart from HIMYM, I have only seen a few (or as little as one) episode(s) of the shows you listed. With faster internet, I want to check them all out. I wanna see Vicky Donor too!

Avengers was entertaining but I couldn’t take Loki seriously as a villain and that made the movie kind of a let down for me. If Hulk could single handedly thrash him, Loki wasn’t a big enough threat to assemble the avengers over.  But fun and action packed nonetheless. I hope you stayed after the credits. For Marvel movies, ALWAYS stay after the credits! And I did watch the Hunger Games with my cousins. Didn’t have a chance to read the books but I did enjoy the movie. Well made. I am sure you will find that it does the book justice. If not, it must be one helluva book. Talking about books I am currently reading Inheritance, the fourth and last book of the Inheritance Cycle. Read it? I love them.

So in conclusion to my essay- Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great summer break. Tell me about all the movies you got to watch and the books you read. Try not to stay out partying too late tonight. I am sure you will do great in Math either way.

Oh and I nearly forgot. I am currently three weeks into my two month internship with Volvo Bangalore.  I get shuttled from one department to another and learn all I can and help out where I can. My work hours are from 8.30 to 6.00. That should do it. Have a great day! :)
