Reminiscing – by Charmaine Candappa I used to have a difficult time with my birthday. As a child, I found birthdays full of fun and excitement. During my childhood and growing up years, my neighbor and childhood friend Rai who is the same age as me, celebrates her birthday in May, and mine in July. Rai always had a bunch of kids, come over on her birthday each year where there was fun and games. Musical chairs were the highlight of the early evening. There were prizes to be won, a doll, a box of candy, and if we were lucky, an Enid Blyton’s story book. As the youngest of six in my family. I was an uncomfortable child growing up, with four brothers, and a sister ten years older than me. Also I was happy to have an outgoing friend as my neighbor who pulled me around her world. My friend ...

   BIRTHDAY – IS IT A REASON  FOR CELEBRATION OR A CAUSE FOR  CONCERN ? – By N.S.Venkataraman People all over the world celebrate their  friends , some people with pomp and show and others in a more quiet manner depending upon their position in the society  and  their affordability.  Of course , some people also celebrate religiously While this is a normal practice, with celebrations being accompanied by cutting cake , blowing candles and wishes of greetings coming from friends , dear and near ones, in sub conscious mindset ,  it is inevitable that a thought would creep in the mind of the individual celebrating the birthday that he / she is advancing in age, causing  a level of anxiety about the longevity of   life .

The joys of clubbing in your mid-40s – By Dilvin Yasa Source :sbs  When your head tells you you’re 20 but your body is quick to argue, the only place to be is on the dance floor. In the days leading up to my 44th birthday – and clutching a brand new prescription for reading glasses – I was feeling old. How soon would it be before I took up gardening, I wondered. Would I suddenly develop a keen interest in needlepoint and talkback radio?  My friend, who is a solid decade older than me, insisted wallowing in self-pity was not an option. “Put on your sequins, woman; we’re going dancing,” she instructed.
