Birthdays & (Non)Sense

       Birthday's are non-sensical and deserve no human attention of mere celebrations. And in extension, no particular anniversary of human beings (birthday, marriage particularly comes to my mind) ought to be a celebration. These days are as good & same as any other days and one should not be beating drums on these days. A day (anniversary) should only be celebrated only when it is an achievement of considerable importance. A birthday is only a result of one's parents and hardships (joy) they endured. If at all anyone deserves applause on your birthday should be your mother and father.

        These were the thoughts I used to hold until my recent birthday. It all changed when my friends who are miles away made me feel special in the best way they could. The effort they took, which I believe is not because I was just their friend, but my existence would have made some difference to them in the past. Though a person may have countless friends on social media only a handful of them would wish. The more people you engage and make a difference the more messages you receive on your birthday. No wonder many great people who lived on this earth and contributed to the development of humankind are celebrated by millions. The difference you make to other's life is the very reason you are celebrated on birthday. 

Birthdays are a celebration of life, not the act of being born and continuing to live

Thank you guys for making me feel special
