A birthday is a happy day in one’s life. On this day, one feels like a king or queen. It is a day when I feel important. My parents and sister start the day by decorating the house. In the drawing room colourful balloons are hung and coloured lamps are placed in a string.
On my last birthday, the birthday invitations were issued to friends and relatives a week in advance. In the evening, a big birthday cake was placed on the table in the centre of the drawing room and candles were lit around it. In the evening when all my friends and relatives had arrived and gathered in the drawing room, I was asked by my mother to cut the cake with a knife and blow out the candles which had been lighted by my sister a little while ago. Then pieces of cake were distributed to everyone present. Thereafter, eatables were served to the guests. It was indeed a day of merry-making. I recieve a lot of gifts & blessings as well.
