Of Confounded Birthdays et al

I have that darned confounded look when...

1. ....I wake up this morning to find the whole house sleeping with no one to wish me. So I get back to bed and sleep a wee bit longer...
2. ....when I still get calls when I'd thought that I'd been wished my everyone I knew last night..
   
3. .....I realize that I don't have a new birthday outfit to sport so I choose the most decent looking one from my wardrobe...
4. ....I rush to the temple just to realize that the therai (doors of the Lord's Chamber) have been shut and that I have to wait another hour to get the Lord's Darshan..
5. .....I don't know how to react when I visit my friend who's just then lost her father...
6. .....I meet all my college folks there who have the same confounded look when they whisper a silent Happy Birthday to me at the mourning place...
7. .....I get a call saying that I have some roses and a cake delivered to me.... (oooooh!)
   
8. .....I plot how to flaunt the flowers and cake at work..
9. .....I cut the cake at my office's canteen knowing that no one's really interest in singing a tune for me when there's a big fat mouth-watering Black-forest cake awaiting us...
10. .....I watch all the cream being smeared across my face while secretly I wish I could have licked all the cream off my face.. (I'll send you the pics when I get them Harish) :)
11. ......I receive Takloo 's 'Happppppppppui Budday' call with the same josh-even though its the fourth time..
12. .......I answer Ramangouda's call by wishing him a Happy Birthday over the phone (this time he had the confounded look)
13. .....I call Harish and thank him for the beautiful flowers and delicious cake- and narrate how interesting my day has been..
14. .....I wonder how to describe this day in just one word...

Would 'confounding' to the trick?
;)

Happy Boithday To Me
