Birthdays are exciting and fun between the age of 4 to 23.. (give a cushion of 2 more years on the higher range if you are just married or not yet married but have a huge gang of friends to celebrate with) .. after that the charm of birthdays die down. You are either bugged by the increasing number of the age or by the amount of your hard earned money that you spend on treating others( this thought never crosses once when you blow up your dads money to treat your friends :) ) or you have become so old that your birthday is just another day and your children's bday takes precedence.
Out of all this hullaboo about birthdays, am glad to say that I know one man who gives so much importance to his grandson's birthday that out of the 36 birthdays so far, he has missed only one. He makes it a point to be with his grandson on his birthday year after year. He is 85+ now. He has to travel around 20 hours by bus and train to reach his grandson, but for him it doesn't matter. He can muster all his energy and be there right where his grandson is waiting for him.
Its delightful to such bonding, where it grows only stronger by the years, no expectations, no complaints, no disappointments, just pure love.
This instills my belief in human bonding by love and not by any selfish motives, expectations, give and take or just a formality.
Love me for who I am!
