This is my favorite topic. Isn't there any Indian having birthday today?
It's S Ramanjun's Birthday, but couldn't collect much information about him, though I started writing about him, I had to drop off.
So, how was your Birthday celebration?
Nice! You know, I don't have to celebrate it on my own, cause the whole country celebrates my birthday.
lol, that's true man...But you should celebrate for yourself as well, right?
Today is Moh. Raffi's Birthday. And Google is celebrating it with Doodle: --
So what are your plans?
I missed that man, I get the information from couple of websites and I didn't find our own Mohammed Rafi in that list. So sad, why don't you publish a post on him?
You are already posting birthdays of famous celebrities. I think you must post a tribute to Moh. Rafi.
