# Why do we celebrate birthdays every year?

Birthdays are the times when we specifically plan to spend time with our favourite people. No matter what the year is and what age are we crossing, this day is just for enjoying good food, music, creating memorable moments and of course, buying gifts to pamper oneself. In so many years, I have experienced that you should never expect others to make your day special. In fact, start early and celebrate the whole month, why just one day? Buy gifts for yourself and enjoy each day. Today, you have got a reason to celebrate birthdays every year!

## Of so many birthdays, let's talk about my 20th

The calendar reads 21st Sep 2004 today. I am excited to cut the cake with my friends before lunch. I invite my friends from school, college, NIIT all together so that they get mixed up easily. We are going to a Chinese restaurant in the adjacent sector that's my favourite. The most exciting thing these years is that I am driving to nearby places and that adds attitude to the birthday girl.

Reena and Vidya are already there with a few of my other friends. When boys have to visit your home for the first time, they feel scared asking why are we meeting your parents? As if I am thinking to marry them all!

Well, we are ready to go for lunch and papa has allowed me to take the car. This is it. I am driving with Vidya and Reena whereas boys are wondering why have they got their luxury car to the party when there's no girl accompanying them?

All three of us are laughing so hard in the car. In a few minutes, we reached the restaurant and ordered all the delicious foods.

## A day well spent while teasing the boys

Just like that another year another birthday was spent well with friends and family. At night, my family would look forward to going for dinner. By that time, I used to be so exhausted that the excitement level would dip but obviously, I would smile and accompany them.

There was something more that would keep me awake and that was opening all the lovely gifts after dinner. By God, that was the ultimate. I would not be able to sit down but I would open all of them with half-open eyes. After all, birthdays are to be spent till the last hour of the day.

How do you spend your birthdays?
