We were once having a discussion on birthdays and the topic led to discussion on how celebrating certain dates are so important. Some did not care about the specific dates, it was vital for other who planned a lot about it. 

The discussions led to the conclusion that rejoicing did happen in yesteryears too but with time, the thought behind the celebration has changed. Some prefer calling thousands of people for their kid’s birthday while some do not like the idea of a huge gathering on such occasions as it only tires for the child. Some love lavish anniversary parties, while some love celebrating the love only amongst themselves. Having said that, the ways of merriment have always been a personal preference, one celebrates it as and how they want.

Some would love all the pampering and attention and some would not care if they were wished on the special day or not. By nature, women love the feeling of festivity on their birth date.  It is special when others put a lot of energy to make their day extraordinary. The same perception might not be true for men.

While there are, many days and dates that one needs to remember, be it anniversaries, birthdays, many of us do not want to miss out an opportunity to party.  There are many who want to celebrate their day with the underprivileged and share happiness with them. That is a noble idea while some have debated that this only makes the children miss all the privileges that they are not blessed with.

We need to understand that the short–term enjoyment should not making the less privileged kids miserable. The intention should be right and that is what matters. There could be another approach to this, which is called a shared birthday, wherein one makes merry on their birthday along with celebrating the birthday of all the kids, or finding a child whose birthday falls on the same date. Celebrating both their birthdays together is good for both the kids.

Life can be capricious, grab the opportunity that you get, execute the ideas that are on your mind and never wait for the right time, because this is the time, which is RIGHT.
