Birthday with policemen at Gateway!!!

Many times a very simple and odd way of celebrating a birthday turns out to be a memorable one. At this birthday of one of my best pals we did one of the most unique things, we celebrated his birthday by cutting his birthday cake at the Gateway of India at midnight with the cops. It all started with a surprise planned for my pal, he wanted to celebrate just by being at marine drive till midnight so we decided to add up some spice to his plan. Two of our friends decided to come with the cake to marine drive exactly at 12 and the original plan was to cut the cake at marine drive but as there was still some time left before midnight we decided to grab a bite and to do that we ended up near Gateway. So after we had some food one of our friends gave us the idea of cutting the birthday cake at Gateway. Initially we were against it considering that after 26/11 the security around Gateway will not permit any kind of get-together and that too at 12 in the morning. As soon as we placed the cake on the dusty walls near Gateway a policeman on beat duty came in and demanded an explanation but seeing that we were innocent college kids he ordered us to round it up quickly. We did cut the cake and celebrated his birthday in an unorderly manner and afterwards as by the end of the celebration we saw that by that time many a policemen had gathered on patrol duty at the Gateway. Instinctively we decided to offer them the cake in good faith and we were a bit skeptical about their approach to our offer. But to our surprise they were pretty happy that we offered them the celebrated birthday cake and by the time we distributed the cakes to all there were none left. In the end they wished the birthday boy a long and successful live with the add on tips of being a good citizen. After all this ended and we were on our way back to our bachelor pad that’s when we realized that this was one of a kind birthday celebration at the Gateway with the policemen.
