"Another day, another birthday to plan,” said Shibani with a long drawn out sigh.
“You’re practicing your acting chops & I’m tryin’ to hone up on my singing. Good luck to us on the next India’s got talent!” smirked Lizzie, gargling as she tried some inarticulate sounds.
“Guys, this ain’t funny, we really have a birthday to plan!” chimed in Lavy in desperation.
“Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhh, ha ha ha ha ha ha!” sang Lizzie & everyone squeezed their eyes shut painfully while blocking their ears.
“Do we have a plan?” asked Shiri, rolling her eyes at the ceiling.
“No, but I’m a mod now in my own forum dedicated to the Beatles, which has all of 5 people so I know how to manage things!” Lizzie declared proudly.
“I hear Miss T is part of it too! Perhaps there’s an idea there!” chirped Shibani excitedly.
“Hmm, there might be, there might be,” mused Lizzie as she paced around the room, & then snapped her fingers decidedly. “Perhaps singing might help us get an idea!”
There were loud groans all around.
“Noooo… please! Remember we’re planning a party for Tiara! The Desi Kate Winslet who wowed the judges with her rendition of ‘My heart will go on’. Your singing will not cut it, Liz!” protested Lavy.
Liz looked mildly offended as Shibani jumped in to soothe her.
“Perhaps something from the Beatles, since Miss T is part of your forum…?” she suggested helpfully at which Lizzie brightened.
“Yes! The Beatles! But what?” she pondered. “I think best when I’m singing, so here goes…” she continued, ignoring the renewed bout of collective groans.
Lizzie sings to the tune of the Beatles’ ‘Got to get you into my life’

We were confused, we took a vote
we didn't know what to do for her
Another time maybe we could find
A plan with a brain transfer
Ooh, Shibz decides to shake up
Ooh, she gets Lizzie to wake up
Lavy & Shiri join with their thinking caps on!
We think a lot, but writers’ block
is sure to add to our frustration
We wring our hands as tension strikes
Not the time for procrastination
Ooh, as the day comes closer
Ooh, we’re all gonna be called ‘loser’
Everyone wants to help, but no one has a plan
Got to plan a birthday for T!
What shall we do? Who shall it be?
Time’s ticking away rapidly
Shall we sing a song? Shall we do a dance?
We just stand there gaping stupidly
Ooh, lightning strikes the next moment
Ooh, our brains are no longer dormant
The music of the Beatles for the win everytime!
Got to plan a birthday for T!
Imagine Dragons’ words shall be the key!
"Oh my god, Lizzie! That was great! I believe you have the perfect idea for the party!” exclaimed Shiri.
“She has?” said Lavy, pulling her fingers out of her ears & looking puzzled.
Lizzie threw her a glare, but then a question that had been bugging her took over her annoyance. She turned to Shibani.
"Why do you call her ‘Miss T’?”
"We met on Beyhadh 2 forum and there was another Tiara there, Plus, doesn't Miss T sound like "Mishti"? I think it describes her the best!"
Shibani smiled, proud of how her brain worked, but Lizzie looked at her skeptically.
“Okay, let’s see what you come up with, kiddo!”
“Tweaking lyrics, huh? Not a problem. I can do it quicker than Flash,” Shibani tossed her hair & began
"Here it is and it was not inspired by Imagine Dragons’ Demons"

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
She comes with her heart of gold
When your hopes just bail
And all you want to eat is kale
That's the worst of all, and it's a bad tale
She is the hoot
She will be there for you
But with the craziness inside
There's nowhere we can hide
All that matters is what we feel
She is the Kween
This is her kingdom come
This is her kingdom come
“Not bad,” admitted Lizzie grudgingly.
“Not bad? It was awesome!” Shibani declared, sounding aggrieved.
“Well, it’s the song, not the singer,” chirped Lavy. “Tiara just has awesome taste!”
“That I agree,” said Shiri. “She’s such a multi-faceted person! But yeah, maybe we should leave the singing to her too!” She screwed up her nose.
"No! I want to sing too!" Lavy spoke up, holding out a piece of paper & a suspicious looking bottle.
"It's 8 o'clock, isn't it?" Shibani asked.
"Yes, it is, but listen to my song!" Lavy said & cleared her throat.

Hey everybody come and listen to our story
All about this girl we know online
She's a girl you want to please so much you’ll even like Barry
Chatting with her just makes you feel so fine
Ah, Tiarraaa Tiarraa
Thinking back to all the times
she’s been so sweet and funny
You cannot think of her without a smile
And you know that she adores the brainy Hermione
That’s because she’s just as versatile
Ah, Tiarrraa Tiarrraa
She's the kind of girl who stands up for her friends against an online troll
When asurs are detected, she is calm and collected
She's in control, ooh, ooh, ooh
Tiarrra Tiaaarraa
When you look at all her talent doesn’t it make you wonder
If she will make it big & be a star
But please don’t assume she’ll be your start-up funder
There’s a lineup leading all the way to Bihar
Ahhh Tiaaarrraa Tiarra
"That was so good!" Lizzie said, clapping her hands excitedly. “You just cannot go wrong with the Beatles!”
"But not as good as mine!" Shibani said, not liking the attention shift.
"It was!"
"No, it wasn't!"
Lizzie looked between the two online sisters to figure out who was the better singer, inwardly knowing that hers was the best.
But while they figure it out, why don't you scroll down to know a little bit more about the birthday girl and drop your wishes for her?
