Sister's birthday!

My sweet sister's birthday yesterday... gave her a small surprise party at home! She was really impressed, given my nature of no surprises and no secrets with family.

Had it all arranged: Ordered for a cake online on Friday morning (which I tell you is not the best way of ordering cake in India.. It's way too expensive, delivery details are not properly maintained, and the cake did not have my sister's name mentioned on it even though I mentioned it at the website's 'Special Note' section; but I digress); messaged all her friends in her phone contact list; schemed to take her out to temple visits while there were preparations done at home. All paid off (although one of her idiotic friends called her up in the morning and asked her about the secret surprise party she was to have in the evening. He will have a nasty surprise the day I meet him; but I digress again): she was pleasantly surprised when a few of her friends screamed "Happy Birthday!!" when we came back.

All said and done, given how cunning my sister is, I am really proud of myself for accomplishing such an arduous task involving great level of self restraint - not letting out a secret!! Mission accomplished!!!

By the way, she's very happy with her birthday gift, still has to get a hang of how to manage the messages though..
