Life is so strange, We sometimes – rather most of the times have to do things because that is expected of us. One of this is wishing someone on their birthday in a WhatsApp group.

I often, wonder if WhatsApp being flooded with birthday wishes on your birthday – is that a sign of genuine, heartfelt one – or some act like what we do in marriages when we go as invitees – make your presence felt. We all do feel happy for a person who is getting married or celebrating his birthday. Do we really need to flood the WhatsApp with birthday messages?

Agreed, it is a reason to celebrate – especially for kids – as it makes them feel like they are the Centre of attention. But for an adult – a warm wish, a hug, a gift or reviving some old memory together from the person who matters most to us – shouldn’t that suffice?
