My 26th year...
Well the birthday Celebrations began on Friday and continued their way into the early hours of Monday morning. The only way to do it :)We hit up a Hindi movie on Friday night and the intermission came right at midnight so we proceeded to sing Happy Birthday in the cinema to the great amusement of those around us. We then thought we would walk down to the lake and take a little evening stroll (at 2am...) We just kept walking and thought - um - perhaps we could make it all the way home. Our buzz was killed when a drunk fake/off duty police officer pulled over and tried to get our passports from us...The smell of drink almost knocked me over!...needless to say I told him to go f*^k a tree and continued walking - he then continued to drive down the wrong side of the road and harassed us. It killed the mood a little but after lots of discussion he gave up and left us. Almost home we gave up the pilgrimage and got a taxi driver from one of the international companies to take all 6 of us home in his car!
The day it's self was begun at Mocha a coffee, sheesha, bakery establishment all rolled into one! We passed the time with opening presents where Czech P got me a Mickey Mouse cell phone as a desperate attempt to make me Hi-Tech having had no phone on AI or in India, two bags of Potatoes, wine, DVDs, and beautiful Indian scarves. I also had a chocolate cake smeared all over my face :)
After eating and drinking our full (including Baileys Shakes) we headed off to the first pub to watch India trounce Australia in the Twenty/20 always a good sight to see! From here we headed to the Dublin Pub to catch up with the Irish Military, as you do...and had them get me another cake and sing Happy Birthday to me again. A brilliant night was had by all and the next day of recovering, playing risk, drinking all the wine I got as presents, and eating Pizza was a perfect end to the weekend.
Thanks to the Boy for the wonderful weekend and being my family :) Thanks to the Czech friends, the Roomie, and all my new Hyderabad friends for making my favorite day of the year brilliant, and to all of you for the FB notes, emails and shout outs I hope to celebrate with you all next year!

Happy Birthday Biatch! Wow, you're pushing 30! I'm pretty sure your liver is older than that, I bet it feels at least 50!

First of all happy b-day!!! Yeah I already left India, stayedfor almost 4 weeks, had such an amazing time! I was mainly there to do some work for Atma Mumbai, the NGO I work with. Ofcourse, if u ever have some spare time, I am happy to introduce u to my contacts hehe.
About Goa, I am sure Shantanu is more of an expert than me, but we stayed in the Fort Aguada. It is an amazing place but part of the Taj hotel group so not cheap. We booked it trough expedia.com and got a very good deal, maybe u can check that as well.
In Goa I recommend the seafood (prawns are amazing!!!), yoga at the beach or overlooking the beach and if you are up for it a temple tour. The temples itself are very nice but also it gives you the chance to see the inland of Goa (very green and amazing!!).
TC and have fun!!!
