After completing the college we scattered across the geography, looking after our career path. We no longer able to connect with each other as like earlier. There were some commitments, duties to discharge and the distance grows between the friends, even phone calls reduced. But one weekend we gathered. There were visible discomfort among us. These are all irrelevant but one single quote from one of the guy, lets call him K.
How I look at the Birthday
Let's get controversial
The annual awkwardness is around the corner. The birthday is here. I was not celebrating birthdays since by 10th grade. I couldn’t recall the reason it could probably to avoid the spotlight. However with passing years I find more reason not to celebrate it in the conventional way.
