My 21st Birthday

Prompt: Ideal Birthday Party

I live in a joint family with my maternal grandparents. Including my parents, my elder sister, my elder brother and myself, there are total 7 people in one house. We live a normal happy life. It's fun to celebrate festivals or events with family. I never feel alone.

I like birthdays. Especially, being the youngest child in my house, I have been pampered a lot. Every single person would give their best to make me feel happy on my special day. Currently, I am 16 years old. I wanted my 'sweet sixteen' birthday to be planned really well. It was all because of my mother that this birthday became my best birthday ever. Though, it was a pandemical birthday and we were unable to invite much kith and kin, my family made it possibly the best birthday.

I have never in my life celebrated a birthday without my family and only with friends. I am excited for my 21st birthday.

Why 21st? Because then I'll feel like a full full-grown. Maybe, it seems too childish but I can't help. Really can't help.

Many might think that I want my birthday to be celebrated in a hotel, wearing a pretty long gown with my cool friends but this isn't my ideal birthday.

I have an imagination in my mind and it says that I want my 21st birthday to be celebrated again with my family. So, my plan is to be wished 'happy birthday' exactly at midnight by my friends and relatives. It can be a video call or a normal voice call.

Then, I will wake up early in the morning, have a bath and will visit sacred places, most probably 'Hanuman Mandir'. After that, I will go to shopping and buy myself and my parents, a present from my own salary. Then I will go to a nice restaurant with only my mother or maybe my sister too.

I will eat very fast in order to do many more things in a day. Further, I will travel to exciting places or play games. At night, I wish my parents may surprise me with a barbecue or a dinner party where all my friends would be invited. Many games to play and gifts to be won. I will also watch a movie with them and will play the piano to let everyone be amazed by me. I want many photographs to be clicked and memories to be made.

At the end of the day, I will again pray to God and ask Him to shower his blessings upon me and make my consecutive year better than the previous. I will thank him for everyone He has given to me including this life on Earth.

Note ▼

It's just my wish. I do not know if I am right or wrong. I believe whatever God will do on that day, will be the best for me.

I want to visit 'Hanuman Mandir' because it's a very positive and sacred place. Starting my day with God's name will make my entire day happy and meaningful.
