happy birthday!!!!

06-09-1981 was the day I was born. Something I don’t remember, but my parents say so and all the paperwork shows the same. I can only imagine as to how happy my parents and others concerned must have been on that eventful day. I have now survived on planet earth for 27 long years. Its been good for most parts, bad sometimes and ugly in the recent past. But, I have enjoyed it either ways. I am not sure as to how long I would survive, but considering national averages, genes inherited, lifestyle and etc. I think I should be able to reach 60 or thereabouts. J

I being a stone hearted, unemotional person, have not been too excited about my own b’days. I have rarely ever celebrated them. Way back in school I would hardly be excited about my birthday nearing. I would not bother wearing colored clothes as well. I used to wear the usual school uniform even if we were allowed to do so. Most of my mates would distribute chocolates, but I don’t remember doing it ever. College days brought in some change, friends would remember, wishes came flowing, along with demands for a treat. Even then I mostly enjoyed the good times and the fun we used to have.

Though we own a bakery and prepare cakes for numerous people everyday, I have never had a cake being prepared for me. Maybe, I had one on my first b’day. J It does give me satisfaction and happiness when we sell them to the customers. The excitement, happiness and concern with which people order and collect cakes from us makes me sometimes wonder “isn’t it just another day??”

Thousands are born every single day, what does it mean to them over the coming years?? I have never had an answer. I treat it as just another day. Family and friends usually wish me. It gives me a good feeling. A feeling that I mean something to them, that I am important to them. But, mostly I have quite, simple b’days. The usual routine interspersed with lot of phone calls is how I have celebrated my b’days. I don’t know why, but I am genrally low, bored and depressed on an otherwise memorable day.

But, my last two b’days have been very different, I have ended up cutting two cakes on both occasions. Last year I was in dallas and this time around in namma bengaluru. This year it was very painful as well. The guys would just not stop kicking me. It was time for me to get my share of “birthday bumps” J it was their way of showing their love and affection I think. For a change, this year I managed to get a few gifts as well ;)

All in all, it was a good day. The past year has been very eventful. Its been a mixed bag, as life always is. Looking forward to another eventful year ahead. I am not sure as to whats in store for me. Hoping it would be good.

Adios!!
