.. posted by Deepak who realises that far too many posts recently have been called ‘random’. A few more and he would be ecstatic at having achieved an imaginary record of sorts.

I might have had a birthday in the recent/far past/future. Completing a quarter of a century is usually a monumental achievement but I am not too proud since I took almost 25 years to do it. The brighter side being that religious texts no longer recommend that I should follow bhramacharya (I leave the interpretation to you).

Meanwhile, some stuff to chew on.

I find automatic occasions quite pointless i.e. occasions that you do not celebrate because there is any reason, but because it is an occasion by definition and you are given no choice; just like you have to love your wife because she is your wife (also applies to her younger sister).   This has led to a scenario wherein I have given out random dates when asked for my date of birth; of course, I am not counting official stuff here, just the “What is your birthdate ?” question you get from beings, mostly female. Another reason being I fear being judged based on my sunsign. Although I do not believe in them, the aforementioned ones.

So I still get wishes in months as random as February, April and November instead of August.

And so it goes.
