WoW!! As a kid it used to be planning for 2 months.. I find it so amusing today, how my count down to the grand finale… which is of course my birthday… “Just a birthday”, would begin 60 or some times even before 90 days.
And the very thought would make my adrenaline super active..
Today, it means just another day on the calendar… well may be a day significant for me cos I was placed or put on earth on this very day… Wat else?.. yeah it is special, again,” jus for me”.
Then, as a kid all of us wld practice for skits to be performed, party games, songs, return gifts, etc. Whosever B’day it is, wld be the central character… hero to be more precise in our very earlier and amateurish beginnings.
And for a generation which grew up watching, cartoons of Fairy Tales, Tom & Jerry, Mickey series, He- Man, Dennis the Menace, Super Human Samurai... our lives were filled mostly with Disney characters.
I still think they are the Sweetest of animations and colors and feeling!!
Wen I was in standard 5, it was my B’Day and we decided to perform “Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs”, cos jus before few days Cindrella was done!.. and u guessed it right, I was undoubtedly Snow White… cos it was “My Happy Birthday” as I used to crazily pipe around for weeks and months.
Today, I can hardly believe that we little kids did it all by ourselves, with even dialogues prepared by us on papers… Believe me… No akka’s or anna’s or any body older was asked for help. Our tiny world was filled with such creativity… I still wish to get back to those days!!
Gifts were expected, but of course our dreams or expectations abt it were extreeeeemely simple, minimal ! It was colors and shapes that attracted all of us more. Anything different was considered extremely precious and saved deep down our treasure troves .

Like wise, this time that special day of mine came by… I greeted it with a “Oh yeah, yes my Birth day”… No planning at all!! But there was something more significant for millions of ppl around the world attached to this day… for this year! Yes… a beautiful festival warm with lights, lamps, crackers, SWEETS, colours and embracing.
Generally this day is filled with greetings… lot of ppl make it a point to greet people in their life…
But to me…. It happened to be a day with Soooooooooooooo many Surprises, I hardly even imagined. Let me tell, in short, it was simply The Best Happy Birthday in the Whole World.
My God!! I still can’t figure out … but I was simply on the phone or my mobile the whole of the day! In Life the best things are good will and wishes… and when they flow in aplenty what
Would you do? God Jesus… I just can’t even find words to put…
All my kiths and kins gave their wishes... and gestures to show their care was done in different lovely ways…! The best part, some unexpected wishes, surprises, etc….
It seems so hard to believe how people u have met jus a few times before take time to wish ya… Jus Amazing!!
I cannot possibly ever explain in words the beauty, warmth, wonder and the magic that happened on this special day of mine… but jus one thing again…. IT WAS THE BEST BIRTHDAY IN THE WHOLE WORLD…. Sooooooo Magical!!!
