Why do we celebrate Birthdays ? Iam not trying to be clever or something but these thoughts swept by as I was driving the other day. Well for one it marks the day we entered this world. Thats the most reasonable and straight forward answer I could come up with. What did we do - JUST POP OUT from Mom's womb. Thats it ! For anything it should be Mommy's day. So for every child's Birthday we should congratulate his/her mom (Happy Mommy's day!) and may be give her flowers ... let her cut the cake ... for all she underwent to get us out into this world.
Well Well... I know by now you must be muttering .. " Oh there she goes ... trying to say something smart ". Actually no... While I understand we do have one universal Mothers day for celebration... I just thought it would be a nice day to be that extra kind and acknowledge mothers. :)
Anyway to be honest like everyone I enjoy that day every year. Special treatment, gifts, cakes, flowers... C'mon who doesn't like it. This year I was not very particular about it just because I realised - Iam not getting any younger! Ouch... that hurts. But still it is nice to feel that extra special. This year I wanted to go a bit further- Thought to seize the day to check out how life is going. Do a little introspection. Come up with some resolutions. Forgive my mistakes, be proud of my achievements and ofcourse look for improvements. Afterall this is the day you came in and it does leave a special mark as it is YOUR new year. Don't you think it is more meaningful than a calender new year?!
Go ahead feel that extra special, but take a step further and see how you can make your life more meaningful to you and lastly never forget your mother amidst all the fun as she is the reason you are seeing this day !
