Last night I was at friends place over dinner.....its his wife's birthday today so we kind of hung around till midnight to wish her and cut the cake......there was a sizable crowd ...some knew the birthday girl well.....some were acquaintances........and the remaining were somewhere in between......while the cake was being passed around pree who was sitting next to me tapped me on my shoulder and in her usual way said or rather asked as a matter of fact ..."ek baat bata........why is it so important for us to have people around us in our moments of happiness .......even when we dont know so many of them well enough or probably they dont matter that much".........

i really did not know what to say to her other than some cliched stuff i dont even wanna write about........its something thats been on my mind since last night.....someone told me maybe its because you want to show people that you are so happy....or maybe we want to feel special then and have people shower all their attention on you.....you maybe want to share your happiness ........a common example is 'desi' weddings.......in many cases 500 people from each side attend..........and out of this there are about 50 from each side that really count...why do we have such elaborate guest lists then????.....i guess when i find the answer to this i will throw a party and invite all of akron.....ironic na!!!!!!
