    Life is a puzzle. Sometimes it makes us laugh and sometimes it makes us cry. We go through different events and stages in life.

    We South Indians have two Birthdays , one is calendar Birthday and the other is star Birthday. Only some people celebrate their Birthdays, on star Birthdays they wear new dress and go to temple , put Rangoli in front of the house and make payasam.
    When we go through the old photo albums we feel a lump in your throat. Where did those wonder years go? . But when you look back, everything becomes a memory.

    Today is my star Birthday. I cant believe that I have completed 71 years in life. The memories of childhood is there forever. The day did not start good today because early morning the current went off , as we had to go to my brother in law's house as it was my elder brother in law's death anniversary I did not have much work. I did not wantto wait till evening to put the clothes in washing machine so washed them and dried them.Thenwe went to Brothe rin law's house.

    When I look back to the earlier days , the childhood memories make me feel happy . During childhood there were no worries, I was a free bird. As I was the fourth child did not have any responsbilities. School days were very enjoyable because I had a best friend who was rich and everyday we used to go in her car to school and evening I used to spend two hours in her house, one hour studying and one hour playing. From 7th to 10th we studied together and she used to help me in many ways. Though she was very rich and I was not so well off but still we enjoyed together and I was treated like a family member inher house. Till today we are friends and keep in touch.

    I wanted to join College but those days girls were allowed to study only upto Xth. So after Xth I started working and my working life was very enjoyable , we were like a family, never felt that I was working in an office. Had somany bosses all younger to me . Did not know how 38 years went in working. ;Had the opportunity to travel by bus first , then by train for 18 years and then snce I had hip bone fracture travelled by contract bus which was fun travelling because we used to have housie or some game in the evenings in the bus, used to celebrate birthdays. My 50th Birthday was celebrated grand in the bus by ordering cake. One uncle most of the times used to bring idli , vada in the mornings for everyone. During Navratri first time all the people came to our house . When the bus completed 10 years they had a competition for the 3 buses which used to go indifferent routes of celebrating every function.

    Now if I sit and think of those lovely school, office,and travelling in contract bus days , miss those days. It reminds me of the song though it is a love song


    Wo Din Yaad Karo, Wo Din Yaad Karo
    Wo Chhupachhup Ke Milanaa, Wo Hasanaa Hasaanaa
    Wo Din Yaad Karo ...

    Wo Din Yaad Karo, Wo Din Yaad Karo
    Wo Fulon Kee Chhaiyyaa, Wo Mausam Suhaanaa
    Wo Din Yaad Karo ...

    Firate The Aazaad Hum To Chaman Mein
    Chaand Aaur Sooraj Hain Jaise Gagan Mein
    Ab To Ye Jeewan Hain Ulazan Kee Seemaa
    Dhadake Meraa Dil Ab Dheemaa Dheemaa
    Wo Din Yaad Karo ...

    As you grow up make sure you have more dreams than memories , more opportunities than chances, more hard work than luck and more friends than acquaiantances
