I know this is the kind of post that most people do when they are getting married- the countdown to the big day. Who says only weddings are important! For me my birthday is important. Period.
And well it seemed apt that on the 30th, I did a post about the preparations involved for the 30th birthday. It is a standard joke in my house and among friends that as soon as one birthday gets over, I start planning for the next birthday, 364 days in advance. Not completely true, but not exactly false as well.
Anyway here are thirty things I have done so far in preparation for the big THREE OH!
And we have 5 days to go still, let the countown begin.

Not completely true, but not exactly false as well.
Anyway here are thirty things I have done so far in preparation for the big THREE OH!
- Whined about having to spend my birthday alone.
- Went for a family dinner 30 days before the big day.
- Cried with joy at the beautiful gift that my family gave to me a month in advance (more on that later)
- Took up a blogging challenge of a blog post every day till my birthday
- Started planning for my big trip. (related to point no.3)
- Had a party with an amazing bunch of friends as a pre birthday celebration.
- Cut a birthday cake
- Stayed up till 4am and felt like a zombie all day the next day.
- Got sunglasses as a gift.
- Spend hours looking for inspiration as to how I would like my hair makeover to be.
- Cut my hair
- Get highlights.
- Had a relaxing hair spa session.
- Got a black dress stitched
- Reminisced about previous birthdays.
- Went roaming on the streets of Bombay looking for a belt for my new dress
- Went shopping for the big trip
- Sent loads of pictures to my friends after my hair transformation
- Complained about how I need to lose weight.
- Researched online about things to do on my big trip.
- Got very apprehensive about taking a trip alone.
- Jumped around in excitement when my birthday dress came on the same day as my hair transformation
- Got lost on the way Phoenix Market City
- Made loads of To-Do lists.
- Travelled back alone from the airport for the first time
- Told random strangers that I turn 30 soon.
