Birthday puzzle solved

O thats why! The loads off today. I feel much lighter.

uff!! what a relief yesterday is done. gosh!! human mind! we unintentionally think so much so so much. On the actual birthday  you expect a wish from almost everyone who comes to talk to you, at least I do. I am almost a tad snappy that day, guess thats happening more often with passing years. Its as if everyone is getting another year to wish me. It really sounds funny when I put it this way. Your expectation, more or less is that, they know its your bday and they should wish you. I was so tense all day yesterday, lest anyone didnt wish me. I felt mad and sad. I felt unimportant if the person talking to me didnt wish me(particularly if by intuition I knew he/she knew it and forgot to mention). I consider birthdays are special where a new star is added to your life. Its a celebration of life itself. That ultimate factor that makes us human. The heart within us that continues beating, that breath of life, the senses, the perception, the emotions, the thing they call love and of course at times the glorious feeling of adding another year to the thing they call your life.

ufff! glad yesterday is done. By the end of the day, if I didnt get a wish, I kinda coaxed the person to wish me or extracted a hug if I had to. Now I am smiling and laughing to my silly endeavors all through yesterday. But to tell you the truth, I feel much lighter and relieved that the day is done. From childhood I carried the feeling you have to really be gracious about this particular day and to the birthday person. Noone can scold you, noone can say bad things to you, etc and such stuff. Its a free pass to happy living that day. You get gifts and everyone appreciates you for who you are, at least that day. Its one day a year thats yours. Why not make the best of it!!!

Running out of ideas for gifts

Come someones b'day you are forced to think on an idea for a gift.. I love shopping.. so it goes without saying that I am always on the lookout for unique gifts to suit a person's personality. There are so many ideas in the bday/any occasion gift pool but the easiest and most convinient is a gift card. It gives the person the freedom to buy whatever he or she might need @ any point of time.. and you, my friend, dont have to rack your brains about it :).. But then again as one of my friend rightfully points out - 'gifts should come from your heart.. it should have a touch of your personality too.. if you know a person well you will be well aware of her/his likes and dislike and choose a gift accordingly.' Absolutely a fact !! but dont you get brain freezes sometimes? Besides the pressure sure is on if you set some sort of a standard.. there cant be a showdown :).. in case of kids, and mostly boys, we know what they want.. mostly the latest and greatest electronic games will do the trick - bring a grin of 'YES!!!' to their faces.. but adults are probably a little more trickier to please..
