I don't remember as a child is I celebrated birthdays. I've blocked them all out, so I'm guessing they weren't good memories. I do recall my brother celebrated his birthday on my birthday, which could be why I blocked them all out. lol. My brother's wish was to be an only child. <br /><br />I didn't realize you were Buddhist. I think that's the most sane, kind, and rational religion on earth. So Good For you. I decided to forego all religions and talk to God one on one. We have chats nightly. Well, I chat. God's probably saying 'why won't she just find a religion and go through proper channels'? But he knows why. My sense of humor will get me in trouble in no time at all. <br /><br />And don't put me in the giveaway because I already have read your fabulous book. Highly recommend everyone read it too.Liza O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206604386433215482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219165825212099727.post-84418982963616879282015-06-29T07:23:56.060-04:002015-06-29T07:23:56.060-04:00Oh really?

As you know, Devika, I was born in Sri Lanka but was too young on my birthdays there to remember whether any of these traditional celebrations took place - except for the chocolate cake. There are family photos to prove the chocolate cake was certainly appreciated! I hope you are having a wonderful birthday celebration with family and friends.

Sri Lankans do celebrate B'days in style, man...with great, mouth-watering food! Being someone who likes to do nothing but eat and read on her B'day, I'm impressed, haha! Forgive me for waxing eloquent on food...b'days are so much more than that! In any case, Happy B'day, Devika darling, and have a fantabulous day! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832526741766516783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219165825212099727.post-46557973128983306592015-06-29T00:28:36.982-04:002015-06-29T00:28:36.982-04:00Happy Birthday Devika :) Wishing you peace and hap...Happy Birthday Devika :) Wishing you peace and happiness. Lovely post there! <br /><br />It's heartening to see that we follow similar culture. We also offer a modified version of Milk rice and prepare a variety of sweetmeats! I'm from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. I guess the geographical proximity sort of explains the similarity in our cultures. <br /><br />Have a great year ahead and enjoy your day! <br /><br />Best,<br />Jan :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219165825212099727.post-44183649937508528542015-06-29T00:18:40.882-04:002015-06-29T00:18:40.882-04:00Happy Birthday Devika!
