Famous affair, Aarav Kochgave, 10, student

When I woke up in the morning, I saw that there was a poster of my favourite sport —cricket — on the wall above me, and there were birthday cards that my parents and younger brother, Ayansh, had made for me. Ayansh's said, "You are the best bro in the world." The house was decorated with balloons, and my mother made lovely mushroom on toast and hot dog for breakfast. There were 10 gifts waiting for me, including a Famous Five book and a bee-catcher game. Later, at 7 pm, my father invited all my family members on the Zoom app, with people joining in from the US, Delhi, Singapore, Hong Kong, Pune and, of course, Mumbai. The best part was when my relatives saw me cut my favourite red velvet and vanilla sponge cake. Apart from this, I spent the day eating my favourite food, playing board games and cricket, and watching only a little TV, just for 15 minutes.
