As one ages, one gets closer to Death. As one gets closer to death, one tends to enjoy every birthday to forget about death. Or may be, One wants to make birthday a festive one. Or may be, celebrating birthday is a way to catch with the BFFs. Or may be, it's a way to ask everyone for blessings.
I don't know why one celebrates birthday. And I did not find a reason to celebrate my birthday. And I did not.
Out of the previous 25 birthdays, I vividly remember some birthdays. One in 1st Class and another in 3rd class when my father was alive. He bought me coffee bites once and another time Maha Lacto. Yeah, these chocolates are now extinct. Celebrated my birthday in 6th class and 10th class. And then in the first year of my engineering and my first year at Deloitte and for subsequent years. I have had some of good birthdays. I still remember 2013's birthday party, it was a crazy one.
I don't know why but I decided to not to celebrate my 26th birthday and I did not. And I do not think I will celebrate the future birthdays.
Call me crazy, the below is what happened on my birthday...
1) I did not bath or brush my teeth on this day.
2) Well, I am an atheist. Expecting a temple visit is out of reach but accidentally I visited Delaware Temple on Mount Abu. Don't worry, I did not seek blessings. Will not God get a heartache if I do? LOL.
3) I told my friends not to treat me special :). You are special only if you achieve success.
4) I turned off my facebook birthday notification to check who will wish!!! Well, as expected I got only 3 birthday wishes on my facebook account!!! :)
5) But the surprising fact was many wished me on whatsapp and over calls. Well, this makes me think, I am in a way a important person in their lives.
6) Awesome part of the day is, it made me think about myself. You rarely get time to think about yourself!! :)
7) Worst part of the day was the food sucked big time :P
Enjoy your everyday!!
