Birthday logic             Article Published in The Gulf Today  Uae on 20 July 13  (311)

Children are generally thrilled to celebrate their birthdays. I am amused by the fact that the birthday celebration craze is catching up among all age groups, including senior citizens. 

I often get invitations for such functions. When I asked a friend who hosted a lavish party whether it was necessary, he replied that he did not want to celebrate, but the occasion offered a platform to meet near and dear ones and also exchange ideas. I am confused whether to endorse his logic or not.
