What's with the fuss anyways...

So you have the birthday of a close friend coming up... the real chaddi buddy types. whaddya do?

1. Put in some deep thought and buy a real meaningful gift. One that leaves your friend emotionally drained and you financially drained.

2. Laze around till the last moment - that's when someone reminds you about the bday..N your exact reaction is - " Oh Shit... How could I forget... saala last year bhi yahi hua... N this time maine cell pe reminder bhi lagaya tha...crap.. N then you rush to the nearest Central/ Shopper's Stop and grab a gift voucher. This LAMO gift gets you the dirts, but atleast it's an improvement over last year when you got the cold shoulder for an entire week. N most importantly not too much time and effort was involved.
Yea... I belong to category 2 . Frankly I dont see what the big deal is... as long as no one forgets my bday and the steady flow of gifts keep coming in..

I mean... yea so I got you a voucher. Doesn't that mean I trust your gift-buying abilities more than I do my own.. Shouldn't you be flattered ?

In retrospection maybe it's this serious handicap which along with the fact that I rode a TVS Scooty till the third year of engineering ( thankfully it didn't have a basket in the front so you can stop sniggering now )being the reasons why I never even came close to having a girlfriend... any other reasons you can think of for this are welcome...
