One of the many sms conversations I shared on 17.03.2009, the day I turned 25.
Ash : Many happy returns of the day Dost. May you have a successful year ahead.
Nit: Thanks a lot Dost!!
Ash: Know what?? Today is a very significant day. Its not like just another birthday!!
Nit: Why?? Just because I negotiated the turn of 25 successfully??
Ash: That’s only a part of the reason. See, its like this. Because of you, many people have got new identities. Pushpa became Mamama because of you. Because of you, Vimala became Amma and Narendra became Aanu. Nirmala became Pachi and Ramesh became Mam. So its like you have created a new identity to so may people. So the significant part of this day is that we are celebrating the Silver Jubilee of all these identities being created on the same day.
Nit: Oh Wow!!! Never realized that!!! See how great I am!!!
Ash: You are definitely great!! But I am greater, as me how!!
Nit: How??
Ash: You became Anna only because of me!! So that means I gave the identity to the identity creator. So doesn’t it make me great?? I am really proud!!!
Nit: Yeah it definitely does!!!
