HOW I CELEBRATED MY BIRTHDAY
[by XYZ]

My birthday falls on the 4th April. This year too it was a gala event. Grandpa had arranged a ‘havan’. The priests offered religious worship to the family gods and prayed for my long life. At 6 in the evening I welcomed my friends and relatives at the Gaylord’s. They greeted me with the words “Many happy returns of the day!” They also gave me birthday presents. As I cut the cake all the invitees sang in a chorus: “Happy birthday to you.” I offered them pieces of cake. Then dainty dishes and tea were served. It was followed by a brief but entertaining cultured programme. We had a jolly good time. I thanked all my friends and relatives for their kind visit and good wishes. Thus my birthday was celebrated in both the ways—traditional as well as modem. I sought the blessings of family gods and elders. I also enjoyed the fun of dancing and singing with my peers. At the end of the day, I was dead tired. So I retired to bed early. I had only one regret—Birthday come only once a year.
