Many may be born on the same day, BUT to
be connected to them the way Anand and I are connected is something of pure
chance and pure bliss. Thank you my dear mate for making life the coolest, day
in and day out, with your words of encouragement and inspiration.
All I managed was a mere “Happy
birthday, bro!” this morning, and this is what Anand sent me. As you all must have surmised by now I am nowhere
close to him to even think, leave alone inscribe something like this, so
without much further ado I am sharing what my buddy (whom I share my birthday
with) sent me this morning.
Many
thanks for your love and all of it right back at you, multiplied a million
times over!

Dear Fara,
Happy Birthday.
Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day. And year.
In fact why stop there, I pray that every day henceforth
is a never ceasing joyride of adventure and love and exhilaration and enthusiasm and
madness and mirth and music.
I pray that this year you truly find yourself and what you
want out of everything you do, I pray you have clarity on the kind of people
you want to be with and the kind of life you want to live.
And that you then act on this clarity with renewed zeal
and get go and make it happen forthwith. May all the forces of the Universe
support you on this making you truly the person you were meant to be, shining,
dazzling, living the life that was truly your birthright.
I wish for you to love yourself and those around you,
unconditionally and totally and for that love to be multiplied manifold and
come back to you from every direction. Let there be love in everything you do,
every word you speak, let there be an aura of love around you that touches even
strangers, let love radiate from your very being.
I wish for infinite joy from the tiniest of things in your
life – the smile of a stranger, the tune on a radio, a snowflake, a raindrop,
the leaves that lay themselves at your feet, the puddles that invite you to
become a 6 year old again…
In fact I wish for you to be a child again at your very
core, live with that innocence, carefree sense of adventuring, faith,
surrender, optimism, belief in goodness, trust that everything is great and
it’s just going to get greater. Which is exactly how it will be in your life,
today and forever.
I wish for the unexpected – unexpected breakthroughs that
take you to doing what you always wanted to do, being with the kind of loved
ones you have dreamt of, having the kind of life experiences, journeys and
adventures that have always featured on your bucket list. In fact I pray that
you exhaust your bucket list asap and are forced to make many more and you run
through them too faster than a roadrunner fleeing Wile E. Coyote.
I wish you have contentment and gratitude and love and
bliss in your heart always. That positivity and peace are in your every breath.
That goodness becomes a shield around you that nurtures and protects you. That
laughter is your best friend and constant shadow. And madness – that keeda/itch
to just let your hair down, be crazy, do crazy constantly crops up and you give
in to it with wild abandon.
I do not wish you the life you have dreamt of. I wish you
that multiplied a million fold and then some. Let life delight and surprise and
enchant and entice you always.
To eternal exploring, learning, living, laughing, loving,
singing, dancing.
To being alive.
To being you.
To sunshine and snowflakes, raindrops and rainbows, fairy
lights and pixiedust, magic and miracles in every moment of your life.
Love and panda hugs.
Always
