This day is indeed memorable for each and every one; it determines the moment when one stepped on the start line of life's adventurous race. Birthday is the day to celebrate one's existence with a sense of gratitude towards the years spent so far and a wish for many more to follow.
       For a mother, the occasion of her child's birthday can be rightly referred to as a 're-birthday'; since it is nothing less than being born again.As a child,one looks forward to this beautiful day as it is a joyous event with unlimited fun, gifts, delicacies,wishes and a day with absolutely no restrictions coupled with complete, undivided attention.Since the age one realizes that this day is exclusively one's own, birthdays become a much awaited event with lot of excitement to receive whatever be the demand. Be it a toy that a child wants or a big birthday party that a teen wishes for, be it a wonderful peaceful celebration that an elder waits for or an happy, delightful time that a family hopes for, birthday is truly a most awaited affair for everyone alike.
         It is a special day in one's life as family, friends, well wishers bring in moments of happiness with wishes for a successful year ahead. Be it a heart-touching message, a delicious cake , an amazing gift or just moments of togetherness, the joy of being loved and surrounded with such warm experiences add magic to this special day. There are numerous ways to celebrate this occasion, a big grand party or a humble family gathering; a thoughtful quiet day or a loud, exciting celebration, the manner and style varies but what remains same is the contentment of experiencing a wonderful gift of life.
         It is a day that forces one to halt and introspect about the year long journey,with the ups of success, achievements,satisfaction and the downs of failure or errors. It motivates one to keep working hard year after year to truly enjoy the fruits of birth. Each one harbor memories of birthday celebrations that alter with increasing age; from distributing sweets and having a birthday party at home when small to going out for movies or meals when young, the day does nothing but give unlimited joy and happiness. As a child one eagerly waits for this big B-day while as an adult one dreads the addition of yet another number to the figure of age.
       The excitement of celebrating this day does fade year after year but the happiness of having a day for oneself does linger forever. One thing that may never change is the demand of party from closed ones long before the day even approaches . With a wish that each one celebrates this gift of birth on an annual basis and enjoys living on a daily basis...many happy returns of this day!!!!
