4. & 5. On B'days and rains

Dexter says "I was wrong about birthdays. Maybe the reason to celebrate them is what they offer: the hope of living to see another one".


Now you might wonder when! This is not the genius kid that i am referring to, but the serial killer in the series "Dexter".


Ever wondered why the heck celebrate a b'day? I guess the answer would be "NO" under normal circumstances. It's typically a day when you are treated like a King/Queen and have the liberties of having what you want (almost). 


But then there are days in your life when the B'day goes unnoticed, when nobody calls and nobody bothers to remember. Each and every person whom you wished on his/her b'day simply ignored the fact of your existence. Yeah it hurts when you are absolutely alone. It is then that you realize what importance does the day have in life. The perspective is not of making merry and getting wasted. Rather, its a sign to understand how have other lives been affected by the deeds one does. 


Personally, I ain't think much of b'days. Its just another passing day. It comes and goes. I really don't want myself to be spending half the time in anticipation and half the time mourning. Well, I believe its just like the first rainfall. You just don't know when it is gonna happen. But when it does happen, you feel like getting into the rain and beating the heat out. 


The joy of getting drenched in the rain is equivalent to having forgotten the day and been wished by someone close.  


But then the second and the third rain do not give you the same joy as did the first one. Same goes, after a point of time, it just gets boring to keep answering the calls and the 100's of scraps from those who forgot you the entire year and suddenly just dropped in "Happy b'day !! have a blAST [:D] !!".


The best part is the food. Love the hot tea with "pakodas" and the delicacies offered in b'days. It's just what makes the day for you :) 


So if it be the first rain or the first loved one's voice, you are gonna love it if you ain't dying in anticipation for it !!
