Special Day


Special Day

Blessed are the people who know their special day, their birthday. For millions of the orphans, destitute and the abandoned are unaware of it and cannt dream of the luxury of celebrating it even. It is not the day for mere celebration. I feel it is a special day or rather a unique oppurtunity in this jet speed life for  introspection. A day to evaluate the journey traveled so far. To analyze our life and to remind ourselves of our destinations. May be the best time to  set goals and also to know the purpose of our life. It is definitely not a time for self- aggrandizement.
Rather it is a pay -back time.  If not in material terms but a day to remember all the people who have made some difference in our life and whose companionship has added fragrance to the garden of our life. I think most of us never get bored of boasting about ourselves. But I think it is a day of contemplation to know the purpose of our life.
The journey of life is so unique and breathtaking with sudden twists and surprises. We indeed learn most of the lessons the hard way by experiencing them. They makes us strong and makes us understand  the realities in life. In this adventurous journey we must have met so many people who have made a deep impact on our lives and must have played a greater role in shaping and grooming us. We owe a lot to all these people who believed in us and defined our lives.
It is the day to thank God and our parents for all their bountiful blessings. Time to thank our friends and other family members who have made our life so beautiful. It is time to eventually thank people for their selfless help.
On this day atleast may be we can make a resolution to bring some change in lives of individuals who are less privileged or needy. If not a big change may be we can atleast bring some cheer or a hearty laugh in people around us. Instead of  our regular extravagant parties, lavish banquets or splurging money on expensive gifts for ourselves. We might try giving something to others. For it is in giving we receive.
