Birthdays can be fun!

Monkeylovin' dry days!!!!!! Yes, all our elaborate plans to go to Toto's were foiled by the fucking elections. This is the second time in a week this has happened to us - not only that, but tomorrow and day after are dry days too. For those who aren't acquainted with "dry days," it's a state imposed day where you're not supposed to consume alcohol. It's stupid and not very secular and a lot of other things, but seriously, what the hell do elections have to do with alcohol? There are some things about my country that I will never understand. I was really upset, but we ended up having a good time anyway. We went to Mocha instead. I hate Mocha. Like a lot. I was also seriously overdressed. But it was a ton of fun 'cause my friends are amazing and beautiful, which makes for some awesome pictures.

Birthday Booty:

Parents: A new DVD player, the gorgeous necklace in the 2nd picture (that's the only reason I posted that picture), the cutest sandals in the world, a new skirt
Snehal: Two pairs of earrings...I nearly cried when she gave them to me. I wasn't expecting anything.

Meenu/Georgie: A BEAUTIFUL pair of silver earrings with turquoise. So gorgeous.

Shruti: A set of handmade coasters with Warli work on it. So so pretty.

The kids: a Jhola which is totally made for me, and a huuuge box of Ferroro Rocher. Mmm.

Also: Thank you to EVERYONE who wished me on here, through e-mail, facebook, MSN, phone calls, texts. This is the best birthday I've had in a while.



With Shruti.



Isn't that necklace beautiful?



Cutting the cake that for some reason isn't in the picture.
