On these day, at this moment
I wish you a great birthday and many fun filled moments;
Love will keep growing between you and me,
No distance can separate from you to be with me.
I may be seven seas apart,
but my heart throbs on every beating of your heart;
Cherishing the times we enjoyed together
Treasured in the book of sweet memories forever
The Bellagio's fountain show of vigor
or Biltmore palace's marvel grandeur
The Grand Canyon's trip by the air
or the Fisherman's wharf in the evening of winter
The Georgia Aquarium's huge whale shark
or the Forum mall's gentle walk
Those amazing views of Ranakpur mountain
or that scooty ride on the far away oceans of Daman
Last year we enjoyed this day together,
This year let our souls talk to each other,
May God bestow us with all the happiness
and showers forever his warmth and bliss upon us
Amen !!

How u doin Syndrome :-)
How u doing ???
A question being asked many a times not for the sake of getting any answer.
Its a gesture that many people show in US and many reply to it in a similar way.
This gesture is not limited by how much you know a person, its just a way of nodding for a fellow human being. But its kinda widespread and sometimes puts you in an awkward place. Especially when you are lost in ur own self and a stranger asks you How u doing? It sometimes tempts u to say I m not doing great, wud u like to share my concerns !! Well, many a times it does the good things like bringing cheers to your gloomy face.
When I came to this country, the first day when I was walking on the road unaware of this habit of people here, I was surprised and start wondering whether I even know this guy or not or whether this guy knows me or not? This is not a tradition in my land with more than 10 billion population where you come across more than 10 people every minute on the street.
Gradually I started liking this tradition and now I m also one of the patient of this syndrome. However, I like to change myself sometimes and instead of asking How u doing, I just say Hello or Hi..One of the funny incidence about this happened yesterday which actually inspired me to write this. I was walking down to the cafeteria in my office wherein a security guard came across me. Habitual to answering alright to the How u doing question, this person immediately responded to my Hello with alright. We both stopped for a moment to think what was asked and what was answered and we shared a smile and moved ahead. I thought that more than a good gesture this has actually became an epidemic where sometimes people just reply to prove themselves to be civilised.
This is not at all a bad habit though, but it forces oneself to reply and puts in an awkward position as happened y'day. But I will like to be victimized at least till it ends in a laughter only.
