That Was a Wonderful Evening When my friends started to talk about Birthdays... The Discussion got hotter and hotter about the meaning behind the Birthday and the reason people celebrating it. I was listening to that later got in to the conversation, which turns like a meaningless celebration.
Why people actually celebrate Birthdays? to mark their birth? What so special about the birth at the birth of every one. Actually we (everyone) increase the population count by 1. because of the rise of population how many sorrows and problems peoples are facing everyday. Unemployment, Fights, Poverty lot and lots more some are visible some are not.....
And more over what are we doing in Birthday in the name of celebration. we actually wasting the resources of our planet. One day we are making a wish and cutting the cake. what kind of sense is that.
In listing down some of the things we are doing in the day,
- Lightning a candle and blowing it up
- Cutting a Cake
- Singing and making Noises
Cutting a cake . ok we are making a special food to celebrate. (WHy only for One day?)
Singing and making noises and disturbing other people. (Kind of Vandalizing at Midnight)
I didn't get the concept behind all of this. So we were came to a decision. not to celebrate a birth day like this and we tend to celebrate ours by doing some charity work. Having a party and spending hundreds and thousand in one day or for few hours going to make us happy for a day or two. the same amount of money if you are giving for a charity through your own hands is going to make the benedictory happy for a month or two.
So we decided to celebrate ours by doing some charity work. Finally we found out a perfect place for that. An orphanage, which is not near to us. bit far but one is really needs help at the time. This time i didn't buy anything for me. I bought for them, the Children. Books and some stuffs for their entertainments and food.
One day we went there and handed over all the stuffs to the guy who is inchare for the House. At the moment those children were having their dinner. after the dinner they were told that we bought some stuffs for them. That moment you should have seem their faces, can't explain in words. how happyu they were and everyone came and thaked us....
I got a Wonderful Feeling in ma heart. I never felt that before. Seriously Guys ! i felt why i born at the moment. .......
I am Not Telling You to Not to Celebrate Your Birthday! On Your Birthday Try To Make Others Happy!
Specially who needs helps from Us.....

I beg to differ. Birthdays, or even valentines days are like some speed breakers in our lives. No harm in taking a day off from our stressful lives. Come on kid, it all depends on how you want to celebrate your days.
We do not starve cos there thousands of people don't get food in 3rd world countries. Do we?
I do hate when people smash eggs and cake on each other and waste them, but you can take a cake to the orphanage and eat with the kids. I am sure those kids don't get to eat cakes like us.
Wasting food is national waste. But we don't have to starve either. You don't have to plan big to do something for the kids there. You can get some boxes of eggs even. I bet kids would love eggs.
Let me answer you question, why we go out or cook some nice food on birthdays? Cos only on such days you can excuse yourself to get a day off without guilt.
People cant be bothered to put some effort to be with you on other days. You may ask, "why do you need such people if they can't bother to be with you on other days?". Remember, we all are in a rat race, even if we want - we cant do certain things.
I believe those days unite family members, we can go on and on, and BS as we can have a get together on other days too - it does not have to be a birthday. But, it would never happen. So let the birthdays and anniversaries to be there. At least they hit you hard and say, take a break from your stressful life and be with your family or friends.
We cant starve cos people starve in Somalia. Then we should not use Ipad / Iphone too. Do we give up all those things cos there are poor people out there and you feel sorry for them.
We are not responsible for their lives, yet we can change their lives, a bit at least, by doing something to them. No harm in treating yourself with a cup cake on your birthday, while you spend the rest on those kids there.
Advanced birthday wishes.
