Happy Birthday! (Image by Will Clayton on Flickr.com)<\/p><\/div>\n

\u091c\u0928\u094d\u092e\u0926\u093f\u0928 \u0915\u0940 \u0936\u0941\u092d\u0915\u093e\u092e\u0928\u093e\u090f\u0901. Happy Birthday!<\/p>\n

Every time I hear of someone turning a year older, I can’t help, but recall this evergreen melody. Although the mood of the song is light and cheerful, it also laments the dreary nature of adulthood.<\/p>\n

” \u0939\u092e \u092d\u0940 \u0905\u0917\u0930 \u092c\u091a\u094d\u091a\u0947 \u0939\u094b\u0924\u0947 \u0928\u093e\u092e \u0939\u092e\u093e\u0930\u093e \u0939\u094b\u0924\u093e \u0917\u092c\u0932\u0942 \u092c\u092c\u0932\u0942, \u0916\u093e\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u094b \u092e\u093f\u0932\u0924\u0947 \u0932\u0921\u094d\u095c\u0942,
\n\u0914\u0930 \u0926\u0941\u0928\u093f\u092f\u093e \u0915\u0939\u0924\u0940 <\/a>‘Happy Birthday to You!<\/a>\u00a0“<\/a><\/p>\n

Hum bhi agar, bacche hote, naam hamara hota Gablu Bablu, khaane ko milte laddoo …<\/a><\/em>
\n … aur duniya kehti, ‘Happy Birthday to You!'”<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

This literally means: If we were children, too, our names would be Gablu or Bablu, and we would get to eat laddoos while the world sang to us … “Happy Birthday to You!”

<\/div><\/p>\n

A friend turned 40 this week and a surprise party is in the works for her this weekend. Indians celebrate birthdays with gusto and enthusiasm. Although birthday parties for children are now following Western trends of “theme parties” at various outlets, traditional celebrations are simple. Hindus celebrate and observe birthdays as they fall in the Hindu calendar, in addition to the “English” birthday that is the registered date of birth according to the Gregorian\u00a0calendar.<\/p>\n

Hindu families mark the day by performing a small arti in front of the birthday person, and sweetening his day with some mithaai. New clothes are usually worn.<\/p>\n

Let’s listen to this conversation between two people, where one is wishing the other on the occasion of her birthday.<\/strong><\/p>\n
