Sunday Salon: Birthday week

This post is not at all about books and reading. It is going to be a rant, which will fizzle out as you read along.

2011 has not been good so far reading wise. I am reading VERY slowly. There are many reasons for that, a mix of my mood, work and other factors. But I am not really bothered about that. I am also receiving a lot less books. That does not bother me as I have too many unread books. 

Anyway, this post is NOT about books. It is about my birthday, which was on 22 March. Except for my  mom, youngest brother and his family, and facebook friends, everyone who is an important part of my life forgot my birthday. That includes my older two brothers and a few of my closest friends. I really felt hurt for a day or two. I make it a point to remember their birthdays, anniversaries etc etc, and how could they forget mine? But they did and that is that. I did not receive any gifts other than from my mom. 

Today, I invited my younger brother and his family for lunch. We did have a good time. He and my SIL gifted me a pair of  oxidized Silver Bangles! I wore those throughout the lunch! That is WHAT made up for my week! I should have modelled the bangles on my wrist!
