When we are young for us birthdays are very very important .... Not jus our own but our best friends , parents , siblings and girl friends all birthdays are important .. But as we grow older we tend to get busy with rest of the worldly things. We tend to get busy with our lives centring them to ourselves and thinking least of others and for that matter even lesser of things that matter so much to our loved ones. And a persons birthday means a lot to him and you remembering his birthday in your busy scheduled life and taking time in wishing him love,success and joy means a lot .
In today's world of smartphones with apps like 'my birthdays' and Facebook are doing a phenomenal noble job of saving marriages and sparing the guys the 'cold treatment' and burnt-toast breakfasts for forgetting their spouse/girlfriends birthdays.
This is not my excuse note for not wishing my best buddies in the past but a reminder to myself of an endeavour for ensuring that I don't forget birthdays and anniversaries here after .
