SOME people seem to remember everyone else’s birthday. I am ashamed to say that I am not one of them, and even for some members of my family, I only have a vague notion when their birthday is approaching.
So, how many birthdays can I remember?
Priscilla’s, of course (1)
My parents’ (2)
My two sisters’ (2)
Two of my brothers’ (2)
Two other brothers’ are only vague (2)
Three nephews’ (2)
Three cousins’ (3) (out of a few dozens, I dare say)
Strangely, that of a former colleague last seen in 2001 (1) …
… and two old friends from school (2)
Total: 17
Out of the lot, the birthday of one cousin always comes vividly because we grew up together from when we were six until we were well into our teens. I saw her last at a wedding in 2004 in Rodrigues, but had not seen her for about eight years before that. Still, every 21 April, I wake up thinking, “It’s Laiha’s birthday.”
So, happy birthday, Laiha, wherever you are now.

Add me to the list. I can only remember a handful, five at most… :p
17 is A LOT. I can only remember 2, including mine. I have trouble with dates and street names. :)
Happy belated birthday Laiha!
Well, yours is one birthday I can remember.

Don’t be ashamed. U can remember more than I can! I can only remember 7 at most !? For the time being that is …
just heard that Queen Elizabeth also celebrated her birthday on the 21st April too!!!
Hey, that is true :)
