bday party

wn we hear the word party, the things tht cum to our mind today are....booze, loud music, sum kind of a club or pub, disco,etc, etc..and ofcourse lots and lots of money..but how many of us can forget the way parties wer organised yrs back?wn a party was a reason to get together with family, frnds,relatives...just to c a smile on the faces of our luved ones....
today the essence of a party is lost. ppl give parties to flaunt their money, power, and status...its abt calling as many ppl as possible...going to a hi-fi restaurant...having the best food, and doing things to basically please others. how many of us give a party just bczo we really want to?everyone is just becoming a part of the crowd 2day...its all bcum like a trend...u r forced to give a party evn if u dont feel like giving one...
how many of us give a treat to our parents?the same ppl who have made us wt we r today, the same ppl who bought us a cake wn we wer busy planning for our bdays, and forgot to evn thank them for all their support. who got us the best gifts, who invited our frnds on our behalf, who made sure every guest was served and everyone had the best time....
bdays today, or any party for tht matter have changed the way v look at things...its all materialistic..yrs back the best gift for us was a pencil, pen,a scale, anything tht our frnds got for us...we had such gr8 fun in just looking at the huge heap of gift boxes...out nights wud b spent looking at them, and feeling happy abt the day gone by, but today its abt frnds competing on giving the best gift, so tht we can show the bday guy/gal tht we r indeed giving then sumthing which equals the money they have spent on us...we live in such a materialistic world, tht v forget to think abt the small things in life...
learn to just b urself, do things only wn u really want to, appreciate ppl arnd u, value all those who r dear to u, or it might b too late..bcoz years pass by without us evn knowing abt it...learn to sumtimes bring back the child in u....
go and give a party to ur frnds at the near by thela.....stylishly give a pani puri treat to ur frnds, without caring abt their reactions....if they really r ur frnds, they will b too happy to share the puris with u
and finally, for a change, in the middle of the night cut a cake on ur bday, and this time share it with ur parents, rather than being on the phone with ur frnds....
