Do you know that the concept of birthday celebration started in Greece, more than 3000 years ago? Different cultures have different ways of 'celebration', but almost all of them regard it in positive view.
Most of us celebrate birthdays with kith and kin, probably to share the information of our age and hence the expectations surrounding the age.
Certain milestone ages may be more significant like the first year, 15 or 16, 30, 50, 60 and maybe every year after that :-)
Have you ever wondered why a birthday is important or noteworthy, atleast when your birthday is nearing and what is the point in blowing away the candles ?
In my opinion, birthdays make us think, who we are, where I stand in my life and what is it that I want to do with my life. These Qs should be the guiding spirit of one's life, but somehow I remember them only a week or two ahead of the B'days :-)
Well, here is the reason for this topic- it is my "star" bday today! And, 'Happy birthday' to those who celebrate it today.
