Seasoned to Celebrate...

"Wag your tail, or no bread"...
Its my birthday today... 29th June , it was the same day quarter or more a life time ago at 11:00 pm i arrived into this world. Kicking and screaming for taking me away from the comfort zone, the warmth and cozy compartment where i didnt have to seek for food, respect, love or acceptance.... Time to celebrate?? Time to blow a candle... expect a few gifts... feel good about my existence for i have grown a year older ...?
For some reason.. i remembered my dog who crossed over few months ago as i stared at the drizzle through my window... the little "hiccup" who came to me when he was 3 months old .. and i remembered how i trained him... how i taught him to wait for the food till i ask him to take the bite.. how i seasoned him of his habits... how i congratulated him everytime he picked my ball and returned it to me... i didnt celebrate his birthday... he didnt ask for a celebration, nor did he feel bad when none wished him... But what if i did train him, told him his birth date, and informed him that its time of celebration... would he have got felt the same as am feeling today...
Celebration, another indicator to be the victim of the society... a occasion that we expect people to surround us, cheer us, wish us, make us feel good. Another inevitable need of man to feel happiness based on others... Are we seasoned like the dog from childhood... to celebrate , to feel good on every occasion we get... Is birthday really another man search for another such occasion..

Whatever the case it might be...It is indeed a wonderful feeling of love and care... its just made my day when my family gave me a suprise party at midnight.. when my sister gave me the most beautiful guitar as a gift.. the messages, calls and scraps from people... all made me smile.... if its lame... i guess happiness associated is not something any wouldnt refuse...
I guess my multiple brains wars would never end... the Mediocre, sagic and extremist minds will debate on every occasion this way.. this one mediocre wins..
