Today was my birthday.

28th Birthday.

I remember how once upon a time (which felt like eras ago), I used to look forward to birthdays.
To colourful frilly dresses.
To cakes and the sugary rose toppings, we fought world wars for.
To gifts - dolls and plastic kitchen sets.
To sweets.
To the rounds with your best mate, to distribute sweets through out school.
To surprise parties at home. (surprise to my parents too, cos often they were the last ones to be invited!)

I wonder where those days had vanished to!

Man!!! Nowadays, birthdays have become gentle reminders... of 30. Yeah! I'm growing old.

28 is... 30 minus 2.
Dint get that??
30 - 2 = 28.

And 30 is scary.
