So I turned 32 yesterday. To be honest, I wasn't feeling great, couldn't really explain it, just down. But I'd been invited to supper by my former colleague to supper and the only night it worked was my birthday night. Totally random. My friend Suresh Joshee is from Nepal (which I visited for 1.5 days) and he's got a wonderful happy outlook, a wonderful happy wife and a wonderful happy son...and by the end of the night I felt wonderful and happy too!
I wasn't expecting any birthday festivities, but here's what the Joshee family did for me. They bought me a nice new shirt (which fits perfectly), they cooked the most delicious vegetarian pakora (fried veggie patties), butter korma (cheese) curry, lentil soup and best of all...for the vegetarian...they bought me a carrot cake!!
Their son Samyog and I ended up playing hockey for an hour too. I found that rolling around on the floor in your business clothes is incredibly freeing and indeed confirms I'm still young : )

Happy birthday Brian!!!! I am glad that you were able to enjoy it and be treated so well on your special day. It's amazing what a little play on the floor with young kids can do to bring a smile to your face. Thank God for wonderful friends! Hope this year is filled with MANY blessings!
That's awesome Brian. Glad you were blessed on your birthday.
Happy Birthday Brian! Trust me, 32 ain't all that bad. Good to see you post something on your blog, too. Not that I can point any fingers.
How've you been?
