Happiest 50th birthday!
Can you believe it? From 11th grade partners-in-crime to now… I’m officially family (who would've guessed I'd end up marrying your brother instead of just stealing your clothes 😄).
I still remember us falling off that bike in front of college, we laughed so hard that day, I think people were more entertained by us than anything else happening in college. We were those girls (esp Teja, you and I) laughing at everyone, pulling silly pranks, sneaking out for parties and pretending we were so slick (we weren’t, but we were cute). It was wild, it was fun, and it was us!
I used to wait for you to come for the summer vacation from US, not just for all the stories you'd bring back, but so we could sit down together and binge watch ‘Friends’. It wasn’t just a show for us, it was our ritual, our language. Quoting Chandler, judging Ross, loving Monica being crazy, and basically deciding that you were Rachel and Ferha was Phoebe. Every joke landed better when we watched it side by side, and even if we’d seen the episode ten times, it never stopped being funny when we laughed together.
And then, as life would have it, I went and married your brother. 😄 (Plot twist - no one saw it coming, including you!) From friends to sisters-in-law, it just made things official. You’ve always felt like family anyway, so now it’s just legally binding. I love our big fat Punjabi family!
So here’s to you—the beautiful, strong, hilarious, slightly dramatic, incredibly wise woman you’ve grown into. Fifty never looked so fabulous. Let’s keep the laughter going, the memories coming, and maybe watch ‘Friends’ reruns when life allows us to.
Love you more than Joey loves pizza,
Devyani
PS - was wondering if I should write Devyani, Tai or grey crow!!
To a beautiful, always-smiling, and ever-fashionable friend who brings joy wherever she goes. From Pune, India, to here, you've filled our lives with laughter, wit, and unforgettable moments. You've raised two incredible kids—Raahil and Nea—while somehow making it all look effortless.
Julie and I are truly blessed to have you in our lives. Whether you’re cracking jokes, creating memories, or proving once again that you’re always up for anything, you remind us that life is meant to be lived with a smile.
Turning 50 just means you’re now officially a master of humor, style, and avoiding reading glasses.
Love, BJ
Dearest Neelu,
Happy 50th Birthday!!! I have truly enjoyed getting to know you over the past few years. I appreciate your honest, no-nonsense attitude, appropriately realized self-worth, crazy-hard worth ethic and complete desire to stay away from all-things-drama related, amongst many many other great qualities you possess. Looking forward to making many more memories with you together! Wishing you a day and year filled with continued joy, good health, happiness, laughter and memories!
Lots of love, Priya

Happy 50th Birthday Neelu!
You are as timeless as the Kentucky Derby itself! Just like the horses that thunder down the track, you are galloping through life with grace, strength, and a touch of sparkle.
Your kindness and zest for life are the true treasures of this race we call life. May your day be filled with the elegance of a Derby hat, the sweetness of a mint julep, and the joy of a victory lap. Here’s to celebrating you !
Cheers to 50 years of winning moments, and to many more ahead!
With love and admiration,
Neha and Gautam Moorjani

Happy 50th Birthday, Neelzie!
Fifty! Can’t believe it. You look the same as you did back in Boston and I got pictures to prove it.
Those amazing days in Malden, Bedford, Waltham and Odenton/MD (ahem) of your wonderful cooking, constantly feeding us ‘desi ever-hungry hillbillies’, hanging with the dudes, partying at M80s, Ts and Avalon, your favorite Srilankan roadrunner dance (tch tch), your beautiful ‘sardarni’ laughter (lol) and off course your most infamous ‘tu kitna bolti hai Scandi’ phrase have been etched forever into our memories.
Biggest hugs and cheers on your fabulous 50 and may the next 50 also be filled with laughter, joy and love…with some occasional belting from u-no-hu.
Your fav ‘animal’ singer ;)
Happy 50th, Neelzie!
Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and all the joy you bring to those around you. I’ll always cherish our Boston days—your warmth, grace, and the way you made everyone feel at home left such a lasting impression. Here’s to celebrating you today and always—cheers to many more beautiful memories ahead!
Love Chandana
Happy 50th, Neelu! It's hard to believe it's been 27 years since our Boston days. You've always been one of the kindest, most generous people I've known - feeding us, laughing with us, and making every gathering special,. Wishing you a fantastic milestone year filled with love, happiness, and great memories. You truly deserve it!
