Well, after all, I Mutahhar Hussain the writer of this post was also born on July 25th, 2004. So July 25th is an important day of my life as it’s my Birthday.
Birthday and its Value
People and individuals celebrate birthdays because it is the date and time when one enters the world. Birthday celebration is basically an expression of Thanking God Almighty for being born and getting an opportunity to be alive. I feel that the birthday is not just a celebration but it is a generous opportunity by Almighty God to think of life. Birthday celebration also adds value to every individual human being to think why I am born, what is the purpose of my life? And what’s my mission and how should/ could I fulfil and accomplish my mission. Definitely to me it is a momentous occasion and I celebrate this day with my family and friends.
Arrangement and Preparation of Celebration
Since I was born, every year my parents used to celebrate my Birthday at home with all family members, my parents used to invite all family members along with some of my friends (kids of my age) in the evening. A large cake is ordered, relatives and family members join the celebration having their Gifts in hand, friends participate and enjoy the evening. Well that was all when I was a kid, while now am a grown up boy so celebration arrangements are my own responsibility.
A day earlier, my parents had a talk with me on the arrangement and management of the event, my parents are the financers of the celebrations so we had discussion on the arrangement of the occasion, this time my parents recommended to have two celebrations; the first one in the morning and the second one in the evening. The morning celebration was specified for the family members and close relatives and the second one for my friends in the evening. List of invitees for both were finalized, all guests were invited via phone and messages, I ordered two huge cakes a day earlier, mothe and sisters made household necessary arrangements at their end. I was excited as there was two events, which means more joy, memorable day and valuable gifts.
Birthday Celebration with my Family
My day started with normal routine, starting with prayers to ‘Thank God’ for the momentous opportunity of living a joyful and pleased life, followed by a happy and healthy breakfast with family. All arrangements were done, in the first half of the day, the invited guests started arriving at 10:00 am and by 10:45 all guests arrived. Exact at 11;00 am my mother announced that the ‘Cake Cutting’ ceremony has to take place therefore all are invited to gather near the table. My parents, sisters and brother joined me in cutting the cake, the Birthday song started and everybody started singing, all wished me ‘A Happy Birthday’ family elders kissed and hugged me and extended their heart-touching prayers for long and joyful life, soon after the cake cutting ceremony everyone presented a gift pack, some large and some small, my sisters helped to collect the gifts and put them all on a side table for photographs at the end. The most valuable gift was the one presented by my mother which was the ‘Watch’ I always wished to have. Later, all the guests were seated and they were served with peace of Birthday Cake, Tea, Coffee, Cookies and other refreshment. The music was on and every face was flashing with delight and excitement, specially the faces of my parents. I cannot explain my feelings of that time in words. Simply it was really the significant moments of my life that I cannot forget. Photograph session in groups were held, movie clips recorded, happiness and joy everywhere. After few hours the guests started departing for their homes. Oh God, ‘Thank You So Much’ for blessing me with the desirous moments. The first half of the day ended with tremendous celebration.
Birthday Celebration with my Friends
The second half of the day was reserved for the Birthday Celebration with Friends, my school and college friends. They started arriving around 4 in the evening. I must say my friends are quite punctual in celebrations though they were not in school and neither in college. Within 15 minutes everyone was in my house, we spent some time in ‘Gap Shap’ (slang used for talking among friends) some started sharing mischiefs that we jointly carried out during school days, jokes were shared, laughing and singing continued for more than an hour. I was really amazed when my father entered the room …… everybody was quite, there was a pin drop silence in the room, nobody was expecting my father at that time as he never joins my friends gathering (although my friends are familiar with my father) he is a bit serious in nature. Suddenly, he started singing the Birthday song and soon after, my brother entered the room with the decorated Tea Tray with the Cake on the top. My friends started clapping and joined my father in the song. So nice and lovely, I felt as I am flying in the Air. All my friends gathered around the Tea Tray and Cake Cutting ceremony ended with excitement. Friends joined hands in cake cutting and they started singing the song in loud voice. My brother served the guests with Tea and refreshment, friends presented their gifts during tea time. Wow …. Again gift packs (large and small) I collected the gifts and handed over to my brother. Towards the end, we had a singing game in groups which we enjoyed very much. Around 8:00 pm my friends started to leave for their houses. All wished me with their love and prayers throughout my life.
