I wan to be a birthday girl. I want to celebrate my birthday, which is 6 months away :-(.
I want to be pampered, I want all the attention, I want to feel admired!
Birthdays, special days...days when all the people wish you, for being what you are. Days which remind you of the number of people still around you. Days which bring back nostalgic memories. Days which make you feel good, special & happy.
Long forgotten friends, long distance calls. Relationships that were ignored for reasons like ego.
Nothing matters on this day. You forgive people for their past mistakes, and accept their wishes. Misunderstandings are merely wispy moments that are forgotten.
Probably the only day in the entire year when you are surprised by the down pour of wishes by so many people who were oblivion all this while. It makes you feel hopeful of all the relations/ ties in your life. Makes you feel that nothing has changed in the world and all is well, still the same.
Such a comfort! Comfort just for the day, as you probably know that the next day each of them would be back on the tracks of busy life. You would still be grateful, thankful and hopeful for having at least a word with these people who cared enough to wish on your day. I realize now the importance of these sepcial days...how much it means to wish a person on their special day, what difference it makes.
One of my friend celebrated his birthday yesterday and I could see how happy he is, how overwhelmed he is. In his words "having people is do damn nice, feels nice to know that there are so many people who like you. I feel sorry for not spending time with these friends. I always thought I am so busy and so they must be busy too. But the fact is, everybody is like me, they don't know they are loved till told. They don't know how many people admire them."
And I want all of this :-). I wish I had some special day which is not 6 months far! I wish I had a chance to know how many people I have in my life. Unfortunately last year I did not have such a great birthday. Except for my family members, I received only few phone calls that I can count on fingers. What happened suddenly? What has changed? Did I get old enough to loose all the friends or people in my life? Have I ignored people to the extent that no body cared to wish me on my day?! Is this what happens when you get older?

A Special Day
There were many mails floating today saying that today is gonna be a special day, 05-05-2005 and watch out for the time 5:05 pm, this day come once in a life time.
What is a special day?
Why should it be only once in a life time? Ofcourse the answer to this question depends on the answer to previous question.
To me every day is a special day, as long as am contended with what I did that day. After all what else is required in one's life when you end your day with a smile, with a feeling of satisfaction, with a feeling of knowing that you were able to spend atleast one day in your life doing what you wanted instead of listening to others. Spending one day without the tensions of tomorrow nor the worries of y'day. Just living for the moment. Is all this not enough to call it a special day?
How many of us really enjoy our freedom? How many of us do not worry about the future or do not brood over the past? We keep struggling our whole life with so many
promises to keep, many commitments, many decisions to take. Life is too short to do
many things but not too short to stop for a moment to know where you are or what you want? I see many of my friends discussing their problems with me. But to be frank they dont seem to be problems at all to me. Not becos they are not my problems but cos most of them are temporary or very silly. One is worried about his career, one is worried about not having a GF, one is worried about salary, one is worried about boredom in life, one is worried about his guiltiness, one is worried about a way to cover his lies. Is this all life is?
From one of the forwards I got - 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. Live life as it comes, live it as if you are gonna die tomorrow and everyday would be a special day.
