Time: 11:40
pm
Stars are
shining and are trying to dominate the moon’s glory. They failed because they
forgot that it is the last night of first fortnight of the month.
In a
four-storeyed building, he is in the top floor, holding his mobile phone in his
hands firmly and not in a mood to enjoy the cool breeze because of his
excitement.
HE is looking
eagerly at his mobile phone’s screen. He is waiting
anxiously for that four-inch screen to lit brightly, bringing him the message
that his dream became the reality.
Time: 11:56
pm
Suddenly, a
group of his friends surrounded him. All are panting and one of them said,
“Dude!!!Finally, we got you before time…”
HE is confused
at the first instant, later he understood the reason behind their ‘search’ for
him. He couldn’t utter even a single word due to the present state of mind.
Again, one of
the mob said, “Hey guys!! Why to hurry, still four minutes to go” and then
turned to the center-staged person, “you carry on with your phone call…we will
wait until you finishes.” He smiled wryly.
Time: 00:00
HE is not in a
mood to listen to their words…To bring down the curtains to his Wait, the
screen lit up with a beep tone, a message from his beloved…wishing him “Happy
B’day!!!”
A smile flashed
on his face and in a single tone, everybody behind him sang the song version of
that message. In a few seconds, the terrace of the building flattered its
silence and turned into a party setting. Because he is pre-occupied, he hasn’t
observed the arrangements made by his friends in the moonlight.
A table has been
placed with a beautifully decorated b’day cake on its top…A candle is put into
the cake and a plastic knife is put adjacent to the cake. The whole place looks
splendid not only due to the arrangements but also due to the lighting.
AFTER
THAT>>>
Everybody wished
him on his b’day in different ways.
One treated him
“Many more happy returns of the day” and other as “Wish you a very happy
b’day”.
A person behind the
crowd reached him and expressed his greetings in his mother tongue, which has
been forgotten by many of the Indians(especially south).
Amidst the
roars, laughs and jokes cracked by the people, he cut the cake and these
moments have been captured by many amateur cameramen with their smart phones.
Inspired from
movies, the cream of the cake has been spread on the b’day boy’s face and it
carries with having a soft drink like coca-cola, a common interest of teenagers
and so on….
But, The real story starts here…
In UK, there is a tradition called B’day
bumps. It means people who are celebrating b’day will be tossed into the air.
Due to several factors like british advent, English education, globalization
and many other factors have influenced the mindset of today’s young population
of India.
Adaptation or
imitation, whatever you call that, I will say it as tendency to do things which
are practiced by other people has became
the order…sorry, the fashion of the day. To quote an example, western countries
ask children to wear shoes, socks because their place is so chill. But why are
we still following that in damn hot areas also??? I am ready to take answers
from comment box below.
Let’s not
deviate from the topic…I want to discuss the forms that these b’day bumps have evolved
through and their current status in India now.
Bumps have
turned into the butt-breaking or bone-breaking of your back. Even the People I
mentioned above, so caring towards their friend, celebrated his b’day, are
shoving up their sleeves for kicking him on his back in the name of Birthday
Bumps.
The most
shocking thing of the whole episode is nobody think why should we give birthday
bumps. You might be thinking that it is a silly or unimportant issue on which
I’m writing pages and pages.
But just imagine
yourself in that position having pains for four to six days and moreover you
cannot sit properly in your chair for the next three days.
The issue is not
about your body pains or your seating arrangements. This is about inhumanity
and psychological damage to which all these people have affected to.
Only just you
want to boast that you gave b’day bumps to your friend, but because you cannot
do that for several reasons (physical incapability is the major), will you hit
him out of his bones….???
You are saying A
VERY HAPPY B’DAY!@@!! And in the next moment, you are ready to kick him on his
butt…
What’s wrong
with those people@@@ I felt indignant when a person shot this whole thing in
his mobile and saying, “I’ll send you a copy, keep this as a sweet memory”
while he is shouting with agony.
Their Parents
should realize that their children are grown-up’s physically but not mentally.
-----------------------------------------------------------
And the subplot
here is, you were allowed to attend the calls from your family or relatives for
only five minutes….Later you have to receive our so-called
gifts/memories/wishes.
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Since I have
started a story, I have to show it an ending also. As I explained the REAL
PARTY AFTER THE CELEBRATION happened to there, He has jumped on to his
mobile phone which is on the table safely kept by his friends and After seeing it, he fell on the
ground.
He urged a lot to leave when his
phone was ringing and they didn’t let him to lift the call thinking that the
call is from his girlfriend.
Appallingly,
that MISSED CALL is from an MNC for a telephone interview for the job he
applied for several weeks ago.
So, these are MY
sWORDS on the new Social Evil ( a little exaggeration, I admit), prevailing
among the youth of the country,
So, clap for the post or condemn it, whatever you feel, whatever your mind says...Just express it.
A spark in your brain can create a canto in history... :) (:
