7 October 1964

That was when I was born. I'm 41 today. How the years fly by without realizing it. No greeting cards but I had a trickling of well wishes from family and friends that made me feel good. It always feels good to be remembered except when you missed a payment with your creditors. A contrast to days of young when birthdays means presents from parents and friends, birthday cakes and feeling delighted with each increase in the number of candles. The thrill of ripping open packages while wondering whether its 'the present' you had wished for. But nothing beats a gift from the special someone you love. It does not matter what it is, it is special, so very special. My special gift this year was a Swiss knife and time with the person who gave it.

42, here I come.

Hey Pummkin!! Been wondering where you had gone to. Thank you for the wishes. We need not have to wait for events for celebration right? Make up our own events as and when we feel like it... how about this coming Thursday? Another TT in the making.
