The Table and Friend
sample essay on birthday celebration of my friend.

Last week, it was my best friend’s birthday. So we all planned a nice birthday party. He asked all of us to come to his house three days before his birthday. It was supposed to be a small tea-party with a few friends and family members. As he is the eldest in the family, he asked me to come and help him with the preparations. A day before, we went to the market and brought the necessary decoration articles. We decided for a few minutes on the food and other things with my friend’s father. We also ordered for the cake from the bakery his father asked us to.

We both were really excited, as my friend was turning 16 this year. I decided to go straight at his place after school to help him with the decorations. I had already kept my clothes there, so dressing up was no problem. Both Uncle and Aunty are working, so they too were very glad and relieved with me there to help their son prepare for his birthday party.

One our way back home from school, we collected the cake and the eatables that we had ordered the day before. Then we hurried back home. We quickly had our lunch and headed for the drawing-room. We changed the table-cloth, cleaned the room and started with the decorations.

We decorated the ceiling with paper buntings, bells and stars. We below balloons and hung them all over. Doing that was great fun as some of the balloons bursted while blowing and others refused to stick to the wall. For our siblings, we had kept a few birthday caps. While I was blowing the balloons my friend quickly wrapped the return-gifts. We placed floating candles on the table where the cake would be kept and then put an extra table to keep the eatables.

Next we spread out the disposable cups, glasses and plates. The snacks were laid out in the dishes. The sweets and the samosas were kept in the kitchen along with the chutney. The wafers were kept on the table itself. Cold drinks were kept in the refrigerator. Almost

    I thought about my actions and figured that we both were to blame. After all, we both kept going at it with the music. The next day, I decided to create a welcome basket, as an apology for the night before. As I got to her house, I saw that she had a surprised expression and stopped whatever she was doing in her garden. I continued on the path to her house, with a tiny nervous smile on my face, as I didn’t know what to expect from her. As I began to approach her holding my gift basket in one hand, I raised it up towards her, and began to…
