July 31st
I turned 30. But I feel nothing turned out to be like people emphasis about the number . For some time now, I consider
age as a matter not (instead being a fact) when everyday becomes a record. I
think age is only for the body but sometime even despite the fact, and to be
stunned someone’s active used to be. For example APJ Abdul Kalam! When I see
people complain tedious at very young age, Kalam’s energy level and active
lifestyle until his last breath (at age of 84) amaze me and reinforce by belief
that age isn’t a matter or barrier until we are sufficient with energy/power.
My favorite chocolate cake... but i felt more choco in it |
Birthdays
aren’t special anymore these years and the day passes like just another except getting
attention from family and friends to be greeted. For last few years I had no
celebration on my birthday and I also stopped anticipating as I feel nothing
turns out if I celebrate or not the day. Last time I celebrated my birthday (with
a cake) was in 2011 and after that I don’t have a reason or thought to celebrate.
This time too I wasn’t in intention of celebration, but my brother arranged for
a cake and since our grandparents are at home this time we decided not to miss
the chance.
As u perhaps
knew my grandpa wasn’t well and after discharged from hospital, he was at our
home and supposed to stay until their new home (which is under construction) is
ready. Two months have completed now since grandparents moved into our home and
grandpa shows great improvement in health and activities after going through
(and continue to do) physiotherapy and taking insulin injection for sugar. He put
steady and fast pace in walking these days and being affected by Parkinson’s he
struggles speaking a word or two and experience loss of memory sometime but
wasn’t anything serious to complain.
i am glad your grandfather is improving somewhat! and yes, good to have a family celebration while the family is there.

I guess you had a nice birthday :) Good to know your grandpa is recovering quickly. I too don't celebrate my birthdays with cakes, but if others want to, I don't object.
