It comes once a year. Starts at 0:00. Wishes are made. Candles are blown. Midnight snack is smeared on faces. Phone calls pour in. Congratulations flood in. ISD calls are made. Greeting cards try and express blessings. The sun seems specially bright that day. Birds seem more chirpier. Gifts (need I mention free) are unwrapped. 11:59 rolls over and the party stops. Almost as if everything turned back into the pumpkin. The next 364 days seem to be clones. But isn't one of those 364 someone else's birthday / special day. "As if I care" / "Whatever", apart from eating that cake & for a few minutes, seems to be the unspoken thought of many in that 364X24 hours. Is there something wrong with this picture. Isnt today someone's birthday? Then why not feel that same special feeling even today. Why is the sun specially here for you today ?

Did i forget your birthday?? :-)
Things seem special only if they are different from what happens every other day. If you celebrated, for some reason, every other day, you will find that it doesn't feel special anymore.
do you remember, when you were young, when eating chocolates or getting your hands on a bottle of coke felt special? Why not now?
The best solution would be to have different things you could indulge in, spontaneously, without a plan, to inject that spark into daily life.
