What are Birthdays? A way of telling you that dude you are getting old. Or, for people a moment to rejoice that you came into their life. As per Hindi Calendar I was born today on “Akshaya Tritaya.” My Nani goes by this only and not Solar (25th). She called up saying I had not been even brought home by now. You were still in hospital. Being the First Child in that Family I may have given birth to so many expectations. Brought Joy in lot of peoples life. And on your birthday, you feel for those. Getting buoyant if you have achieved some of those expectations; or weighed down if you let them down.

Also, birthdays as the way it is given importance; make lot of things happen in your life.
Like this time I got so many gifts. Like an Apples Shuffle IPod (Loved it has 4 GB space in slim little package), Chocolates, Perfume (Yes that too), Two wonderful books and like always Mom’s and Sis’s card. Even my Kinshuk’s. But this time something really unusual happened. I never thought it was possible. Few years earlier an extraordinary experinece of my Life had started with a Birthday Cake. Seems this year it is an attempt to finish it with a blank…
It is heart rendering. Leaves you so empty with a void in your heart…
So I do not know what to make of these Birthdays… Is it harbinger of Life or constant reminder of Fickleness of same… Is it happiness or just a day which reminds of things lost forever…
Whatever it is I feel it’s a day which is a mirror to you: Your Today, Tomorrow and most important your yesterdays. Its Joy its Reality check… Its emptiness and sadness.. Its Love, Its Loss… In a nut shell its reminder of Life, Depends How you take it that day…

brother birthday makes us feel special... atleast people who care wld make us feel so... well most of the times what makes us happy is ought to make us sad... so time frame not withstanding... life every year comes full circle.. and may be birthday is good day to complete one circle every year...
yes, birthday is a mirror. you see if u have come that far as a person as your age has. duality shows up...'i am .... years now!' i ve still gotta a long way or may be lived so many important years and been here. its our personal, our own full circle..but doesnt merge into one circle instead makes a new one like a spiral wire increasing the radius everytime.
and birthday shows u r special for so many and ur presence is cherished and treasured...will always be.
