My Digital Age

Going with the general notion, age is just a number which seems to become the reality of today. Sharing my memory lane I remember my Mitsubishi cellphone, desktop computer, video player, oxford dictionary, letters from the postman, television box, phone with a rotary dialer, getting books from the library, just to mention a few. Looking back, makes me feel that technology has taken away all the wonderful memories and all I have left is the shadow of the past.

Now, my digital age has given me the opportunity to develop my skills, interact with people (twitter), interact with colleagues (Linkedin), interact with friends, family and the rest of the world (Facebook), the Almighty Big Brother (Google) makes me feel less younger than I thought.

However, the digital revolution might still be young but it has definitely brought the biggest change in my lifestyle. With all these new gadgets coming out everyday, I would be interested to know what age I will be in some years to come.

Great news! I'm not a novice and computer is no longer sacred.                                                                                                                                                              

How would you celebrate your birthday?

A birthday is a day that comes once a year when a person celebrates the anniversary of his/her birth. So a birthday is  much more than an occasion to receive gifts, it is a chance to remember the day that a major event happened, to celebrate and give thanks and reflect upon how fulfilled we are.

"It is good to be thankful for what you have in life and what you have accomplished...If we are to appreciate the fruits of life, we must first appreciate the tree that bears the fruit: birth itself."- Lubavitcher Rebbie.

To a child, like my 9 years old daughter, she believes it's never a birthday without a cake and she would often ask why should we go to school on our birthday? So there is no better way to celebrate a birthday than to commit a special act of goodness, not because someone suggest it but simply because our mind want to express its thanks for being born and alive.

To some people birthday celebration is about gathering with friends and family and studying something meaningful together. For me, it's all about making  magical memories!
Now,  how would you celebrate your birthday?
