It was an occasion which I had never noticed or realised so much during my school days . It was just like any other day. Only at the time of filling up some application for some purpose, I bring it out of my mind. Even going to the temples on this day was rare.
But it has changed during the last couple of years. It has become a day on which you feel that some people are aware of it - family / friends .I should definitely include. Greeting cards, SMS, Special cake offers blah blah.... some special gifts occasionally.
This time, my little brother blushed while giving me a self-made B'day card and a small key chain. When my cute frnd komal gave me a wrapped box, he got very curious to open it instantly. Since I wasn't that curious to open it immediately, komal insisted on it. Her words, 'Be curious to open your gift.. Be a kid'. I obliged.. hey, it was a cute Laughing Buddha. There was an instant laugh from my little brother on seeing his belly.
There is a general belief that rubbing his belly brings wealth, good luck, prosperity. I hope I don't rub his belly too much. I don't want him to become lean.. :-) :-)
Another aspect which I could observe was the smiling face. It's not even a smile.. a big laugh. It insists on enjoying the life every moment and laugh at good things instantly, not only smile. I don't laugh out loudly.. just a Chuckle. Aren't we supposed to laugh at good things to make ourselves light? I have learnt it in the recent days.... to laugh like a kid.
Eventhough I don't crack nice jokes, I made it a practice to enjoy the moments...
Laughter is the best medicine for many ills... so better LOL and enjoy each and every moment of the life... :-) :-)
