Sssshhhh…. Celebrations should be quiet
On the other day we went to a restaurant for dinner and there was a group of about a dozen people in the nearby table. All of a sudden, they started singing "Happy Birthday" for one among them and Anirud - being a phobic of sound started crying loudly that their singing was lost in the noise he raised. We felt a bit embarrassed but more than that they felt the same. They were constantly looking at our table to see if he is alright. It seems that one another person too was celebrating his/her birthday in that group and the group were about to sing "Happy Birthday" again. On sensing this, we were trying our best to distract Anirud by doing things for which he would normally laugh, while they finished singing - of course with all their eyes on Anirud. Thankfully, he let them sing without his background music.

That is interesting. I could understand how tensed you would have been as well. Poor kids.. they need to grow with many other things nowadays. Tougher days ahead. On such occasions, if there are child lovers amongst the crowds, then they will understand. But sometimes you get a kind of people who stare at you as if they came to this earth when they were grown....... A part of bringing up children.. But I think that was a good challenge for your skills. So Anirudh is keeping you on your toes....
