Birthdays!

Birthdays are always special. We make great plans, which are being orchestrated well before the special day. Big surprises are part and parcel of the whole day, adding more excitement. List of a few things that we normally do-

Go for a trip or
Have a luxurious party or
To be on an extravaganza by being a complete shopaholic before Birthday or
Maybe buy a big rock or beautiful jewellery as a remembrance (that specially goes for girls) or
Watch a good movie followed by dining out with friends and family or
Maybe, do all of the above!

But have you ever thought of Birthday with a difference? Like, striking a long-awaited item from your bucket list? Something that you really wanted to do since childhood. Something you always have been holding back. For instance, you always thought you have a great voice, but needs little training and polishing. You wanted to learn to play the guitar. Any creative stuff you always wanted to give it a shot, but didn't. Etc ... etc.

How about gifting yourself your childhood dream! Just imagine the satisfaction, the joy and fulfilment you will witness. The excitement will run in your blood through veins! Only an artist can understand the true meaning of creating something. It becomes your own baby! You have sleepless nights dreaming and creating it in your vision time over again. I can bet, it will be precious to you the same way a big rock is to any girl. Believe me when I say it!

Sometimes because of time, or limited means or any other reasons we could not achieve it. Don't just think of unfinished things in our list as regrets, but with a highlighter tick them up. The tickling little happiness in your heart is beyond words. Gift yourself the pleasure of learning things you always wanted to. This is the time. One life to do what all we love! And, the best to start off on your birthday. :)

To the feeling well described in these lines from a song by Janelle Monae! Where in you don't feel one year older rather you are charged up illuminating like a bulb!

Tonight we are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the Sun
