Yesterday was a great day. I felt like eating Briyani badly, one of my family member purchased it and was on the way, then some one knocked. It was my neighbor and what he had? Wow that was kind of unexpected.

The briyani tasted great. It was delivered to us because he was celebrating his birthday. I shook hands with him but I said nothing. Did I wish? No! One may ask why and why I don’t wish people?

Well its simple. You meet a person and you congratulate because one has a father, a mother and he is breathing. Do it to some one and see. It will look absurd. Why? Because its natural for all person to have these. Similarly for me its very natural to have a birthday, new year, end of the year and other festivals.

For some reason I think its normal for a person to have a birthday, a death day, so on and so forth. You have done nothing to deserve it. So why you need to wish? It looks silly for me to wish people just because they are alive this new year or this birthday. For some reason I don’t want to think that they or I will be dead the next year so that we may not be able to wish each other.

If a person has done something spectacular to amaze me, like some one made me great briyani or a chicken soup which my wife makes (that bowls me down) I am ready to congratulate them at that instant. Other times no.

So yday I had two briyani’s at a time and a food coma. Thanks for that if you are my neighbor and read this.
