Thanks Radhu. I long for yesterday once again when things were more simpler.

good article. Yeah, it just kind of brings back old memories. You’re indeed right at this. Simple things were a way of celebrations back then; no place for frilly stuff back then. Nice post.

That was a nice sensible policy that your father followed Hari. If only all of us could do this.

This article sums up nicely the changes in birth day celebrations over a period of time. In our family, as a policy we don’t celebrate birth days. This is just to fall in line with other relatives who could not afford to do so. My father used to say, this will hurt other children who are unable to celebrate due to financial constraints. So birth days will come & go, life goes on…..

So on one of your birthdays you would recieve an Enid Blyton book. Well, I am glad to inform you that I have published a book on Enid Blyton, titled, The Famous Five: A Personal Anecdotage (www.bbotw.com).
