Birthday!!

Birthdays provoke nostalgia, remembrances of things past, a deep desire to return to some innocent state of yore, a drive, an urgency to sit back and wonder on the thread of one's own life, of how it was and how it is, and how all this came to pass?

Birthdays also remind us of how much people love us and how lucky we are in having them around us. We have our close relations whose love we sink in, and how many times do we take stock of this? Not many. We get used to people being nice to us, but the minute someone is bad we scream bloody murder. I have a long list of people who care for me, and care for me deeply - how did I get here? Isn't it a complete mystery? I have come to realize one thing in life, the basic rule, is what I call is, and its a simple accounting procedure, Debt/Credit. When we lose something, someone\some other thing will certainly come into our lives, we may not necessarily have the wisdom to recognize the compensation from god, but in one form or another it's unfailingly there.

Sometimes losing a loved one, who wasn't loving you back is in a way gift from the gods. At that moment of loss and grief we wouldn't have the foresight to think it so, but on reflection isn't it true? why cling on to a person whose sole job is to makes us miserable, no matter how at one time frame how very much we may have loved that person.

The day of our birth, should make us ponder on what we have achieved and what we have lost and how in what weird fashion life keeps plodding along merrily.....
