she turns 5 on jan 5

today's my niece's birthday. she'll turn all of five and i wonder what she thinks about it. i'm sure she gives a damn about the number 5 anyways. i know, i was five once, and i never gave a damn about it too. but it was then. today, even as the clock ticks with its usual zest, i feel like a candle melting away into oblivion. it's not the oblivion i'm scared of, nor is it the consistent, unstoppable, irrevocable melting doom; it's the fucking clock that never stops laughing at the dying cells of my decaying, rotting makeshift body. u thought the traffic was loud? try listening to the intimidating, metronomish tick tock of the clock. in its every tick and tock, you are reminded of your helplessness: YOU ARE LIFE LIMITED!

it's my niece's 5th bday today...and i'm all excited. i've to buy a nice gift for her 5th birthday. wonder what is the best gift for the 5th birthday? damn, i never thought about it. but she gives a damn about the number 5 anyways...so why bother about the perfect gift for the 5th birthday? any gift, i'm sure, would add to her excitement.

al-righty then...ho to tani!

hey, thanks rod and chrisann... in fact, rod, investing in an SIP was one of my plans...chris, i think that's a perfect idea - 5 different gifts, and increasing the no. every year. i couldn't buy her a gift yesterday...but am going to inorbit mall to get something today. hopefully, i'll get something she'd love. thanks, pals...keep rocking!
