Khaippy Burzzday Kheena!

I am not kidding that is how they wish Happy Birthday =P

Privet guys!

Sab se pehle maaaIiiiIiIinn (bakra style) ap sab ko moooOooo-habbat bhara Eid Mubarak wish karti hon =P

I am sorry is baar post kaafi late hogaya. I know you guys missed me (=^_^=) but it's not my fault okay? Birthday, Hajj Day, Eid Day, Family Day kind of overlapped and zabardast mash up chalra tha. My 82 (28) years old body could barely take it.. mai tau kahan kahan khud giri pari so rahi thi.. honestly. Pata nai kaun kaun se janmon ki neend puri kar rahi hon -_-

So, about my birthday and super awesome Sunday. It was a blast! First of all, it started off FAB thanks to Farman =) He was the first one to wish me on Pakistan Standard Time, with virtual card, tweets - the whole deal =D Here is another fun Russian tradition: these guys don't accept birthday wishes a SECOND before the actual day. They say it's bad luck. Why? Because it might imply ke something bad will happen and you won't be there to receive the wish on your actual birthday =P HA! And people call me khabti =^_^=

My Chotay Bhaiya was the first one to wish me on Firangi Standard Taime and my Baray Bhaiyya ACTUALLY jumped on me and hugged me and pata nai kya kya barbarata raha for like 5mins suffocating me in the process =P It was so sweet, I couldn't stop laughing!

Few days before my birthday I told Bhai to not order any cake because well, I won't eat it (Halal khabti and all =P ) so he asked a friend of his to bake it. Now, this friend is Indian Sikh and a chef. He too follows the Sikh rules of diet like no meat and stuff tau I don't know why but I was fine with that even though I've never met him. I mean jo apne religion ko samajhta hoga woh dosray ke religion ki bhi izzat karay ga na.. right? And Bhai told him no alcohol, no animal products - he got the gist =D

Humare koi zada oonchay plans nai thay (like my cousin sisters) just a simple family dinner. Bhai also invited Chef Diljeet (I am going to call him DJ) and his wife. They were such a nice couple and wonderful human beings. They met everyone with such warmth and DJ kept calling me Behna, Sister, Choti Behan .. it was so sweet =') And his cake was such a HUGE hit in both taste and look!

I know I know you have already seen it like a gazillion times but it's the first on this blog =P It was supposed to be a three tier cake.. chocolate, almond and pistachio but DJ he didn't find something for the pistachio one so he only made the other two. And you see those flowers? Here have a closer look:

These are NOT real. They are made from sugar or something and you can keep them upto three years or so and decorate them on different desserts. Cool na? Apart from that they also got me real flowers:

Yehan pe flower bouquets are like a BIG deal so you gotta know your flowers. Jitna acha aur jitnay mehngay aur khoobsurat apke flowers utni hi sincere apki niyat =P Ap koi present den na den if you get them a nice bouquet woh itnay khush ho jatay hain jaise pata nai kya teer maar dia ho! Humari maids itni khush ho gayeen fauran se they found a vase and put them in water:

Beautiful na? =') Bas is se upar mera haath nai ja raha tha for a better picture =P My Uncle's MIL also got me flowers but she came late night:

Unhon ne mujhe itna Khaippy Burzday bola, itni dua'in deen and she was like you are as beautiful as these flowers (the ones that she got). Igor, the bodyguard was like -_____- and he cut her in the middle and told my Bhai ke please tell Hina not to take her seriously she is much prettier than THESE flowers.. hahahahaha. Itna seriously le liya us becharay ne k jatay tak mujhe bar bar wohi baat bolta raha. Maine kaha ap pit wit jaye ga Aunty se =P

Oh and ye raha mera Birthday Dinner! Haleem, Daal Chawal, Shaami Kebabs. There was also pakoray, french fries and kheer. DJ and his wife LOVED the food and that's saying something kun ke unke matlab ka sirf daal chawal tha or other vegetarian stuff baaki sab beef dishes theen. Apparently, Sikhs also don't eat beef (DJ doesn't eat meat at ALL!!). Baar baar Ammi ko boltay rahay ke Maa ke haath ka khana, dil khush ho gaya ap ne tau desi cheezon ki yaad dila di =D Aur masalay wali chai pe tau bilkul fidaa jee hi ho gaye. I mean my Mom impressed a chef.. now THAT'S something!

 

Ye next two pictures esp for Farman. Maybe even for Faizan and Kashif since you guys don't eat spicy stuff =P

Btw, ye meri Ammi ka homemade chaat masala hai.. kha lo tau hosh thikanay ajayen =D

I know I know tum log soch rahay ho.. where are my gifts? Well, ajeeb baat. Is baar I didn't get many gifts. Mostly, everyone just gave me money. Hmm.. ya tau mai bari ho gayi hon ya phir logon ko mehnat nai karni thi to find me a present. I kind of saved up alot though kha ma kha, considering the currency =P Cake, flowers aur paison k ilawa I also got these:

 

My maid, Luda gave me this bracelet. She kept saying "Coorool" so I thought she meant if I like the color. I told her it's great but she kept repeating "Cooroool" baad mai meri samajh aya she meant Coral =D Ammi told me to wear it later at the dinner which I did. Waise mujh se bhi ziada Ammi loved it =P

Birthday "Card" made by my niece

I have no idea what it says so don't ask =P I told her to translate and she told me she wasn't in the mood -_-

Folding Bed Table from Abbu

I had wanted this table for soooooooooo long! It looks something like this (mere wale ke flowers thoray different hain). Waise tau I was going to pay for this myself but Abbu gifted it to me as a birthday and Eid present. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ITTTTTTTT esp. the little drawer!!! =D =D =D

Aur is tarhan mera burzday tamaam hua. It was a small dinner but it was filled with love, laughter and sincere wishes. Thank you guys for making it such a special case. In case you missed it, I already wrote a thank you post =)

Until next time. Ciao! ♥
