Five conversations on your birthday

If you are young (as young as me atleast :P) and in India, these are five conversations you are bound to come across on your birthday.

- Hi there! Happy Birthday
There will be forgotten friends and aunts and uncles who will ressurrect themselves on your birthday just to wish you. And rest back in oblivion again for the next one year.
Specially with advent of facebook; there would be people you don't know and who don't know you getting happy on your birthday.

- Have a Blast
That's the most common greeting now a days! And it is alright if you are anywhere else in the world but when you are in Mumbai and someone tells you to have a blast, you just imagine an unattended bag in the train going BOOM!!!!
Not a right greeting, is it?

- Where's the party?
This is a mandatory question.
Dude, your birthday was just two days back and there was no party!!! DOESN'T MATTER
Lady, you are somewhere in the iced igloo of Alaska and I am in the tropical desert in India! WHO CARES?
You are the loner who doesn't even like parties. You crib about cooties and too many people when there are 3 people having dinner... NOT VALID POINT
Crux of the matter -》Party to banti hai!!!

- What Plans??!!
That is the next question asked by everyone. And dare you say 'Nothing as such, usual day'...
Their eyes will pop out and they will get breathless; some weak-hearted might even faint. How can you not have special plans on your birthday? It's not like you can make plans on others days too; you can make them only on birthdays, right?

- Deciding your future
This is predominantly done by family members but some friends are also lame enough to be in this clan.
Oh! You are 24; now you should get married; it's about time...
Oh! 28, so planning for a child? It's about time...
If you have any such relatives, next time when it's their birthday, try this!
Oh! 58, have you made your will? It's about time...

Anyways, people are as they are! Can't help it... Waiting for all these conversations to happen once again with me!!

  2. Hahaha. You are such a cynic priyank...I think you should feel happy that people remember you on your birthday and take out time to call.
