how should one feel after one forgets the birthday of someone special? One can concoct a variety of emotions. Emotions? yes, its not always about excuses that sounds so lame to any ears. its emotions, quite humane and familiar like chagrin,acrimony and acerbity on yourself and belligerence of all those birthday reminders you set and they failed you and itself. And all these synonyms of frustration and anger were felt by me on 19th of December! i forgot the birthday of Prakash which was on 17th of that month, and believe me or not i m still in contrition! Now something else happened after this feat of my flaccid memory! I did not call him as soon as this realization dawned on me. Now the emotion related to this deed was fear and chickenheartedness, or incompetence of my mind to produce marvelous excuses though i had one ready which was sounding quite lame to me already( i was having exams!) Even now i am afraid to call him and you all should know that i have not called him yet. Apart from facing the blitzkrieg of these emotions, i had my friends asking me to call me immediately as they told me that Prakash is greatly offended with me. Now, i should tell you that i m not at all jhansi ki rani, i m quite pusillanimous and to face THE PRISTINE DARK MARAUDER ( PDM ) in his rage is not my cup of tea! I then did something unheard between friends and quite average in corporate! i sent him an electronic mail which was some sort of written apology! So, whats your emotion now, r u astounded or this weird situation is appearing quite comical to you... whatever it may sound or appear to you i really regret missing my dear friend's birthday!
hey PRAKASH! A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! N MAY U HAVE A WONDERFUL YEAR AHEAD!
And with that consecrated wish i move on to another sanctified one! A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR ADORABLE FAMILIES! I read this quote somewhere that " NEW YEAR IS EVERYONE'S BIRTHDAY". Thats one way to curtain the much hyped celebrations and parties on new year eve! Thinking with acumen, its the birthday of our planet! And here i should narrate one of my incidents with my level-headed sister. She got up early on 1st of Jan, 2008 and deliriously went up to terrace. She looked up and observed the clear blue sky and then alluring red roses in mud pots. she sighed and said "hey! there is nothing new today. everything is same as yesterday! Does nature knows that its 1st jan today!!" Poor girl what was she thinking! Was she expecting the sky to turn golden n roses to change their hue! But still we commemorate and celebrate the special and unique 12'o clock in our own special ways. SO here wishing u all a very happy change in year!!
And with this change in year i as so many more pledge to change few things in me! These clandestine resolutions if followed are sure to provide me with augmentation and growth in myself. and the five liner below, summarizes the state of my mind in the beginning of the new year:
" With time i pledge to grow,
And change whats amiss,
To add a few accolades,
And drop some slurs,
And all is dubious but one,
The one to always to move on!"

nice post and a unique way to express ur contrition. anyway, u can lay your contrition exercises to rest because the intended person is not angry at all (never really was).
your vocabulary is rich but don't crowd your musings with too much grandiloquence. it sometimes tends to obscure the meaning concealed within.
anyways,nice post :)
i dont think ne1 can stay angry with you after reading this :)
