I was born on October 7, 1978 in a small nursing home in Central Bombay. Little did I know what a great day it was!! This is what I found on Wikipedia... and if they say it, it must be true!!! :).. Some highlights...
3761 BC - The origin of the modern Hebrew calendar(!!!)
1714 - Beer Tax riots in Netherlands (Go the Dutch!!! That's why Amsterdam is such an aspiration for me!)
1849 - Edgar Alan Poe (think of the Ramsay brothers with stiff upper lips) died.
1919 - KLM was founded (and interestingly - it's the world's oldest airline still operating under its original name!
1982 - Cats opens on broadway and goes on to run for almost 18 years!
2003 - Arnold "I'll be back" Schwarzennegger becomes Cali governer.
I also share a birthday with Vladimir Putin (Russian president), Genji Hashimoto (Japanese racing driver and my name-sake, Sami Hyppia (supremely talented Finnish footbal player), Zaheer Khan (rejuvenated cricketer - even born in the same year as me).
And just like my facebook profile says - I'm thrilled to be a year older, but not a day wiser!!!
