Yet another birthday...
I knew that at the strike of 12:00 am my friends would come charging into my room with the birthday cake and singing the birthday song. This was the practice in the hostel everyone would wait for that exact moment and then break into your room to wish you.
I liked this gesture and I really appreciate what they did for me. Wishes pouring int on Facebook and twitter also has not stopped and I'm really grateful for all this. Now this is about my friends but sadly there's another set of people who on their birthday's despite wishes and a cake have to suffer a lot of pain. Not mental pain but physical pain.
Now this is what happens, people lift the birthday boy and just start hitting him with anything they find and this does not stop there. They bring eggs and buckets of water just to throw on him. How in the world is that fun? I know of people who were severely injured just because it was their birthday.
This practice needs to stop and for good. Luckily my birthday did not have any rough moments like that and it was all smiles. I wish it was the same way for everyone too.
With all that said I've turned 19 years old and life will hopefully give me many more surprises and moments of happiness with all the years that I have left to live..
Wishing each one of you a great day!
