On the SRE's birthday





All these bouquets reminded me of Mehdi Hasan's rendering of Saleem Gilani's lyrical lines:
'Phool hi phool khil utthe mere paimaane mein
aap kyaa aaye bahaar aa gai maikhaane mein'

May this birthday mark the beginning of a wonderful year! Happy Birthday, my dear SRE.

well this also reminds me of another Mehdi H classic..albeit this time it might be the florist singing it:
Gulon Mein Rang Bhare Baad-e-naubahaar Chale
(BIRTHDAYS) Chale Bhi Aao Ke Gulshan Ka Kaarobaar Chale
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
