all about me, of course!
Birthdays

Ever wondered how a one-year old would feel during his first birthday celebration. Bet ya he/she wouldnt know half of whats happening around. Sometimes I am not sure if I wud look at the Cds or photo and be proud if my parents gave me the grandest first b'day party with balloons floating all over the place and other kids enjoying camel rides??
It never happened tho. I mean my parents giving me the grandest one. I am sure there would have been some rejoicing and all ..a few snaps, a small party for near and dear.
As we begin to grow older, we realise birthdays are something to look forward to. Goodies gauranteed! New clothes, gifts, if you are lucky you get whatever you ask for...you are assured of a party unless you are born during an exam season[and end up cursing your DOB]. You also get to take sweets to school, wear colored clothes on that one day whereas the rest of the school come in uniform...and the works. These days kids get to have their parties hosted at some swanky Pizza Corner or Shoppers Stop .. [Back then, those few days we went out for pizzas were like parties]
Once past high school they begin to get more fun..more late night stuff, games, parties, B'day bums[memories of such still cause an ouch]. Out of college and into work.. things tend to get a lil more seirous. Each passing year brings more responsibilty, more goals. A job one year, a car the next, a house 10 yrs down the line. Getting married somewhere in between :). Each birthday is like a milestone towards each goal. After a point, certain people start getting jittery about age. That one grows older is ineveitable, and looking at the other option I'd choose the former. Funny tho, that the looking-forward-to factor of birthdays drastically reduces with age. An amazing exception being a man I saw at a pub recently. Whole of 75 yrs and danced with his grand daughter with gay abandon, putting all guys on floor to shame. :)
Back to b'days, this is for someone who just turned 28 today, loves music and is indifferent to CnH. Cheers..*raises a toast*. Bash on regardless!

Dunno if it's true that b.days present a chance to patch-up, but it has been so in my case.
For people who've parted ways, broken friendship and other ships ;) - a b.day greeting between them brightens up their lives, and testifies the passage of another milestone in their path towards maturity.

Looks like the anonymous person is too shy to thank you for the wishes or hasnt read it. Anyways thanx MD, Johnny and Aran on his/her behalf.
JLU an interesting thot that, b'day providing an opportunity to resurrect relationships and remind ppl that bygones are just that.
24, I think I can hazard a guess as to who you are. But you dont need to worry @ 24 at all. You havent gone a mile just yet. There will me more [miles as well as milestones] before any of us can go to sleep.
