My birthday is round the corner too, and I will slyly use the technique to avoid replying to several people who I barely know!<br /><br />And unlike you, who uses FB for professional reasons, I've used it for what it was meant to be-a "place" where you could meet your old classmates and wonder, "Oh, she's become so fat!".<br /><br />Celebrating Birthdays itself is so boring! I mean, come on!

I was extremely jaded and ungracious about birthday wishes when I was young - more tolerant now.<br /><br />Dhairya: thanks for that piece - makes complete sense to me, but it's worrying to see the many comments made in defence of serial birthday-wishers (especially since the article wasn't nasty or anything). Also, it's bizarre that people can't understand that a writer/columnist might use his Facebook account for purely professional reasons, and might therefore have many "friends" who he doesn't actually know.Jabberwockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210195396120573794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-4942323852908991632011-08-31T16:24:34.568+05:302011-08-31T16:24:34.568+05:30Read this if you you haven't
