Uncle Jasbeer's Birthday Party

Hey everyone!

Haha, i just can't stop thinking about this, so thought i would just write it down.
Last month, when i was in KL, we had to attend an uncle's birthday party. And haha, all of us were dreading it, because we know the guests who are invited, aren't exactly our crowd. We simply can't stand them, show-offs! Haha.

Anyway, i actually did have fun. We were seated in one table the whole time, doing our thing, which is being mad pretty much. Haha, then the birthday cake was cut, and it was sooo emotional and nice, aunty kissing uncle on his cheeks, and his children hugging him on his 50th birthday. After the cake was cut, somebody just had to sing that birthday song, it's the mark of PS Gill's family members birthday parties. In E-V-E-R-Y party, this song just has to be sung, or not the party is incomplete.
Baar baar din yeh aaye, baar baar din yeh aaye, tu jeeya hazaron saal, yeh meri hai aarzoo, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
Aiyoh!

His daughter, Kiran, even came down, from Singapore. She was telling me that she works in Burger King, as a manager, in Plaza Singapura. She was inviting me to come over some time, haha, she would give me free burgers and stuff. Haha, and i thought, i don't even like Burger King, i would only come there to talk and eat nothing! Haha, how mean of me. Mean-o!

Anyway, the men were all happily nestled in the chairs, drinking. Uncle Jasbeer came and sat down with us, started chatting, haha, and we were planning his second marriage! What a nice man. Then our conversation steered towards Zeenat Aman, and Mumtaz.

PS Gill was happily showing off my "mummy's" new car to his aunties. Sigh... when will he ever stop? Haha, and he started the long family tradition, of singing old songs while they're all drunk.
When it was time to leave, haha, we all were begging Uncle Jasbeer to say a sher.
Uncle Jasbeer: Arz kiya hai....
All of us: Ishaad....Ishaad
Uncle Jasbeer: ( i dun remember the sher, except that it was about mehfil and wine, and people meeting, wonderful!)
All of us: Wah! Wah! Wah!
Drunk Men: Main shayar to nahin, magar eh haseen, jabse dekha maine tujhko mujhko shayari aa gayi. (Haha!)
So cute, all of them, big sized men with huge bellys, singing old songs, like grizzly bears sitting around together, humming, and talking about politics. Blah!

Okay, ciao!
