Unlike last year's ( post HERE ), this year's birthday post is more pictorial and a trip down the memory lane. Right from my 1st birthday, to my school and college days, to until a few years ago, I've tried my best to scout whatever pictures possible. I've done close to no editing, coz I really wanted to preserve the essence of the moment these pictures were clicked. Thanks to my mom for bringing some of these pictures, all the way from India, and thanks to a few special people for suggesting this fun, emotional and hilarious post.
Note that the number of pictures featured here is same as that of my age today- so happy guessing !!!!
