And sometimes if they falter, you don't get angry, right? But everything goes away in an instant. Why? Because it's your birthday and you want to be happy. You want to be free. You want to be so cheerful that you let that transgression pass. But if it's a normal day and they forget something, you will be in a different version. Why is that? We do that on a birthday, but not on every day

Waiting for a wish and becoming a child again every once a year. #sandhyasays #thoughts

And I think that kind of hacks at the back of my brain. But I think also that expectation is there that people will wish you, people will remember your birthday. And when people do, it does make you feel really happy. I think that's what really, the wishes, the love that comes my way, that's what really keeps me going throughout the day of my birthday. Otherwise, I think it would have been way more overwhelming and not in a great way

@Aishani thank you for your perspective

Hey, Aishani, I'm sorry if I pronounced your name wrong. I do agree birthdays have become a bit of an existential crisis. We really don't need to make it that way, right? Like you said, we have certain goals, we have not achieved them and all that. Yeah, I agree all that. That's the goal which we have for our personal development or growth or whatever. But birthday is something. Think of your first birthday. Did you really have a goal?
