Diary entry about approaching birthday ,due to lockdown l can't celebrate
Answers
Lockdown birthday: We really did not see that coming. But it is here and staying longer than we would have liked it to. And believe it or not, it has given rise to trends. After drive-by parties, the latest is walk-by parties, where (depending on the lockdown rule in each country) a small number of people, while maintaining social distancing, wear party hats and stand outside the birthday boy or girl’s house and sing happy birthday or hold balloons and flowers.
With elaborate outdoor plans shelved, and with limited resources, family and friends are trying to think up quirky ways to keep birthdays exciting. Funny cards are emailed (hello 1999), videos calls are made and parties are organised online. Cakes are left on doorsteps or delivered through apps. As grocery runs become less frequent and larders empty, jugaad cakes are made at home by moulding instant noodles, or stacking layers of fruits.
And some like Chef Vikramjit Roy, corporate chef, The Kimono Club (Delhi), chose to make his own pressure cooker cake — a sponge cake made of bottle gourd, cocoa powder and tutti frutti to remind him of his childhood days. “I have been baking for guests or family but this was the first time I made a cake for myself,” says Vikramjit. And that’s not all. He also cooked five types of fritters. “In the Bengali custom it is imperative to have at least five types of bhajas for birthdays,” he says listing them out: Potol (pointed gourd), beguni (eggplant fritters), mochar chop (made with banana flowers), jhuri aloo bhaja (thinly shredded potato crisps) and maach bhaja (katla intestine marinated and fried in mustard oil). “This is something I enjoyed doing,” says Vikramjit. This was the first time he got to celebrate his birthday at home. He admits he missed being with his team members and friends as over the years he has been celebrating with them after his shift.
