Silsila of Birthdays has started.
Neeraj started it off, and recently we had two more birthdays of our blogger friends.
Here’s Neeraj and my gift to you both.
January 13 was Anubha’s birthday.
NP.com would like to wish Anubha a
VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Anubha commented on our blog the first time on July 3, 2005, and this was her comment:
Hey Poonam,
Thanks for having me there i had an absolutely rocking time, it was great meeting all of you. Yea i remember Ankur’s saying that about my voice . LOL i remember Neeraj’s “stock broker” mic. You people are so sweet you bore my singing and murdering a beautiful no. loved torturing you people Neeraj sang really well and i’ll never forget the blush on your face when he was singing. I missed Kunal’s song so he better be prepared to sing 2 songs the next time IM all ears. Yes it was soooo much fun and all thanks to Akash n you guys!!! You people rock!!! hope to see you guys soon in another OBM.
Our friendship began at the OBM when she had joined us. Since that time, we have become very good friends and chat frequently on Yahoo Messenger.
Anubha is very easy to talk to, and we are able to voice/video chat for hours.
We both always have a good time pulling the leg of a Mr. Kunal, and we gang up on him as often as we can.
She is a very sweet girl and speaks to the point, which I really like about her.
Since her new job, we don’t hear from her as often, but its always nice to catch up with this Delhite. Neeraj and I hope for the very best for you always in life. We hope to meet up with you at our wedding because I know that you will come.
We hope that you had a great birthday!!
Then on January 14th was the birthday of our own mister Manpreet Singhji.
NP. com gives out a shout to Manpreete to say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Our friendship with Manpreet goes back a long way. His first comment on our blog was back on July 21, 2004. Here’s what he had to say:
$1 for an outgoing call. that is about 46 rs. for a min..!!! And, I thought that talktime is expensive in India.. hehe
Don’t know about Mumbai, but Hutch in Delhi(aka Orange in Mumbai) charges about Rs. 49 a month, for unlimited SMS..
Yeh to kuch bhi nahin hai.. When I was in Bangalore, SMS was free… bole to ek dum free.. I used to send about 100 SMS a day.. hehe… vitually used my mobile as a chat client… hehe
Voice mail costs about 3 rs/min to retrieve a message. No charges for leaving a message though.
To give you some insight, this blog’s existence from that time was only one month old.
Neeraj and I have had the great privilege to meet this Delhite in the bestest city in India, Mumbai.
Yes, of all places, we met up with Manpreet in the bestest city in the world (but he won’t admit to that
). After meeting Manpreet, my views have definitely changed for him.
Before, I used to think that this guy was a casanova type, looking for girls and just one full party. But in fact, he’s really this seedha saadha ladka who has a gf and only acts like the casanova types.
Our ongoing war on Mumbai-Delhi will continue for a lifetime, but I feel that so will our friendship.
We have already discussed taking our kids to Rashu’s marriage in 8 years.
Manpreet is a fun loving guy, and Neeraj and I do hope that we get to spend more time with him and Tanya in the future. He’s a very intelligent guy, and even when we met him for the first time, we were able to sit and chat for hours of time. He has been our partner in crime for setting up the OBMs. Thanks for being a great friend Manpreete.
Neeraj and I hope for your success in the future, and we hope to hear good news so that we also get a chance to balle balle“. Chak de phatte!
Alvida. Jai Mata Di.
