People were eagerly anticipating the arrival of my birthday. As soon as the clock stuck 12 I was escorted as if a celeb but then what follows can only be sustained by strong will and body. I was lifted up by my hands and legs and then started the onslaught. All people present attacked my hips as if they will get money just for hitting me or at least self satisfaction. Its not that violent as I am making it to be but it still is a hard time for the birthday boy. Unluckily its a tradition followed all over colleges and in some cases even schools.
After the onslaught I was coordially greeted back as if it was a purification process for all the bad work I did over the previous year of my life and then people again cordially helped me get up to let me stand. Mind u I needed support for it as it was a pretty decent beating but all out of care and love mostly rather than hatred.
A video of me being battered around is available at google videos here

It also includes my roommate being bashed as it is a tradition in my college. Sorry guys I could not confirm it but its certainly official in my college (official among students. of course not college admins :P)
Then came the cake and it was like whoa wat a cake
but alas I just got a small piece and rest was quickly snatched with a few pieces left dedicated for me. Not to eat but for my decoration. The cake was smudged all over my face and people took pics laughed and showed my face in the mirror. It was a horrifying and it took some time to realize that it was me.
Even after being through so much it was a very enjoyable night of my life and I will never forget it for the rest of my life( Not for the beating but simply for the emotions involved in my friends ).
Then came the party. It was postponed a few days due to some reasons I do not remember but it was a hell lot fun. Though it was only normal dinner for most outsider but the way we ate it made it different :D.
It was separate tables for vegetarians and non vegetarians where as usual I was in the vegetarian segment. The non veg dishes took so much time that the ppl with spoons in their hands were loitering around our tables to snatch pieces of food. It was like a catfight for food even when we ordered so much.
Finally in the dessert round where we ordered hot brownies with icecream it was like 3 ppl burnt their hands and almost all their mouth in a quest to gulp the maximum amount of brownie :D
I myself had two spoons in my hand and I used the two exquisitely to eat and also to prevent my mouth from being burnt as much as possible.
My Birthday experience was fun though I would have loved it to be much different than a plain dinner party.
Got no idea as ppl rejected the idea of a disque with 23 ppl and could not think much abt ne other place.
Ne suggestions for a birthday bash in Gujrat is welcome. I mentioned Gujrat coz its a dry state and u won't get liquor here :D
So all such ideas are automatically rejected :)
