Geniuses are born on April 1…. Is it?

Hi to everyone….

April 1… Whats so special about the day?? Its April fools day and its my birthday too…

Birthdays are special occasion for anyone but its most funny when it is on April 1. Everyone when they ask me of my birthdate, they would instantly laugh when they hear that its on April 1. Their instant reactions would be :

  • Don’t joke…
  • Wow really or u making me fool
  • What???
  • Nice day to have your birthday!!!!
  • Hey yaar.. Stop Kidding….
  • Very Funny
  • oh of course… Fool’s b’day on Fool’s day
Its really great to see the expression on peoples faces. Still having b’day on such a great fun loving day is an experience in itself. Its great.

Some 10 years back, I was waiting for my birthday to come so that I could wear colour dress in my school and distribute chocolates to my class mates. All my class mates would stand and sing Happy birthday to you song……  And now I am waiting for my birthday to cut a cake, to see/hear birthday wishes in the form of SMS, orkut scrap, mails, telephone calls etc.Birthday celebrations too have gone a long way.

Earlier people used to go to temple, seek blessings from the elders and enjoy the feast at home. Nowadays birthdays have become treat days. When someone wishes you Happy Birthday, the next thing they would say is “Whenz ur Treat?”

Your birthday is a moment of such happy and joyous occasion. Instead of arranging big parties and treats involving huge expenses, it would be better if we are spending that amount for some other useful expense. You could just distribute some goodies to the less priviledged children. Their wishes for you would give you utmost satisfaction and true happiness.

Think of it… With just a little planning we can have a great and meaningful birthday.

There is yet another point to think of… What will you want to have accomplished by your next birthday?

    Hey krish,
    The thing is enjoyment can be there but at the same time allot time for other things as said in the blog….

    Does enjoyment mean spending money on treats? Or spending the same money for ‘buying goodies for the poor’?

    Hmmm… Enjoyment is totally individual dependent.
    spending time with friends is enjoyment for some…
    spending time with children is enjoyment for some…
    Spending time in an orphanage is enjoyment for some..
    I am not asking anyone to change the way they enjoy..
    Everyone has rights to enjoy in their own way. But jus keep in mind that “DONT WASTE MONEY”
