Birthdays: stairway to hell?


Birthdays: stairway to hell? 



So I happened to be in this village few days back…they call it a small town but to me it looks and feels like a village (No offense to villages or villagers).
Unfortunately I was there on my Birthday and to my utter shock I discovered that a lot of villagers believe it’s a sin to wish someone on their birthday. I had people downright, straight up, smack in my face refusing to say “happy birthday”…call me immature but birthdays to me are a big deal..one day in a year you can make someone feel special..and I try to make it a big deal for the people close to me, so this sinful birthday to me is a new concept! And one that I believe is specific to few rare individuals! HOPEFULLY!
It saddens me…there are so many things to worry about in this world…and yet people convince themselves to stay miserable..and come up with bizarre ways to make sure that they stay miserable…
Here’s to hoping someday there will be an open window in their caves!

  1. Its really pathetic to know that such people still exist and I hope they stay in their own village and never come out in the world. Its really absurd! What harm is it to wish a person on her bday and bring smile on her face?
    Btw belated happy birthday :)
