The only thing I noticed about b'day is that your family members ,friends and acquitances wish you happy b'day. Earlier I used to get wishes from family and close friends but in today's WEB 2.0 world I recieved scraps (in orkut ) from some person whom I never met or never even have an online chat :P.
I tried to google this thing . let me first tell you something about google: from the day I knew google I first ask anything from google before asking from my colleague, teacher, manager, seniors etc. The reason is google gives answer in every dimension and never make fun of me in case of silly stupid questions. I googled 'why celebrate b'day' and didn't received any good result. Then I make emphasis on "why" even then the first result was "Why do we celebrate Christ's b-day in Dec when he was born in ...". Though I got 1 result in which people were discussing the reasons for celebrating b'day. There were 3 comments from different persons:
1. We do celebrate many days like independence day, republic day, frndshp day n many more rite..?? bt wen it comes 2 b'day...its smthng like a day whch we can feel it to be ours ...d day we r born ..d day we r onto dis beautiful earth ...which makes us feel it to be smethng special n consequently we feel ourselves to be very special .. n naturally we like to celebrate our b'days:)
2. To mark our ages. When we are young it is to get presents. When we get too old for presents, it is so our family can make fun of us for being old.
3. Because it's a good excuse to make someone feel special.
I personally don't get much satisfaction of knowing I'm one year older then before. Not because I'm a young guy who thinks he's getting old, it's not that. I just don't really care. It's just a fact I don't feel like needs a celebration. Just a "Happy birthday" will do just fine.
In the end I am feeling happy at my b'day not because I got wishes from so many friends or I have done any special thing today but I have talked most of my near and dear ones and make them smile :).

Mr. Deus Ex Machina ,
baat to aapne bahut practical kahi hai.. ab jaldi se apna naam bhi bata do
Sahi likhte ho be.. bilkul mast!
I think we should celebrate our b'day becoz this type of small celebration brings happiness in our busy and hectic life. Atleast once in a year U have a reason for celebration.A wonderful feeling when ur near and dear call U and even all who no u very little.
After so many explanations for celebrating or not celebrating bday , i am not left with much.
Still i wont quit :D
Well age is the only thing that has positive curve all the times still not appreciated.
And bday makes u realize this.
May ur curve last long, healthy and wealthy. And happy bday
