"newly-born", Natalie, on her 26th birthday, and wish her a couple of things. Well, to be
frank, I am very glad to be here today and to see her celebrate her birthday surrounded by
friends and close people.
But first and foremost, Natalie is an amazing person, and on her birthday I'd like to wish
her simple human happiness. I wish her harmony that comes when all the components of
life are balanced: when daily work brings delight and in the evening you hurry back home
to be with your family. I wish Natalie inner comfort when you know that somewhere near,
at the distance of a phone call, there are old friends who care about you and if you feel
blue, they will always come to your place with beer and chips to disperse your problems
with a hearty laugh and recollections of turbulent student days. I wish her a year full of
pleasant little trifles and joys that give one strength to make great achievements and reach
one's goals. May Natalie's most cherished dreams come true, as we stand up and raise our
glasses for her birthday and happiness.
I have known Natalie since our freshman times in Glasgow University and it is a pleasure
for me to note that she hasn't changed a bit in five years, and is still a cheerful energizer of
all our student (now graduate) parties and the soul of the company - I always wondered
how she contrived to find time for everything, and always came with her home assignment
ready even after our student carousals late into the night. Besides the evident advantage of
having her homework always done, Natalie has always been - and is - a good mixer ready
to listen to a problem and offer some advice. Not less outstanding were her academic
merits, as this June she graduated with honors, and now works for one of the renowned
PR-agencies.
