Whats there in a date???

My parents, specially my father, has always ensured that my birthday is celebrated in a large scale.
At least amongst ourselves.
A new dress... Slippers... And off-late a watch are the major I get as gift from them.
Then... The cake!!!

But...
Whats there in a date??

This time... My birthday passed....
Only new dress... But no parents to appreciate it...
No cake...
Come on... Not even sweets for that matter...
I didn't feel like one eating too...
To be honest I did not feel like it was my birthday...

But...
Whats there in a date??


My parents wished...
And I missed them more...

It has been a little more than two decades since birth...
But no birthday has been spent this way....
May be I have become more matured to realise that.....
Whats there in a date??

I realised that a day becomes birthday only when your parents tell you that you were born that day...
So... A birthday without them can be the worst situation and an awkward one too that one can face...

It is also a day when your frineds and loved one make it special and make you feel special and loved....
When no such things happens... How will you feel like its your birthday??

It would turn out to be just another day....
And the rational thinker in you would console and convince you saying........
Whats there in a date??

Exactly....
Whats there in a date??


When there is no parents to stand by you and share the yummy-tasting cake...
When there is no friends and loved ones to appreciate the new dress and give new-pinch...
When there are no birthday gifts....

Come on...
Whats there in a date??

For the first time...
I felt matured enough to realise that life is fun because of the loved ones...
I understood that birthday would turn out to be another day when there are no loved ones around...'
And we feel special and loved because people make us feel special and loved...
We will act childish only when there are people around who pamper and make us feel like a child...

Else...
We would be (or act rather) as a very matured person...
Then sit and blog on....
WHATS THERE IN A DATE!!!!
