Just before
time
I published a blog for my birthday and scheduled it to
go live at 5 minutes past midnight, what I did not realise was it set in the
Central European time zone.
Friends from India about 5 time zones to the East had
started sending in birthday greetings once it was midnight in India.
In any case, I could not ignore the deluge of
greetings, that were coming in from about 23:05 my time but before long I was
overwhelmed, I could not handle the lot and just responding with “Thanks” was
becoming too monotonous for my liking.
Storify the
lot
By the time I had received phone calls, text messages,
Facebook statuses, emails and Twitter messages, I was probably coasting to 500
messages.
The Twitter ones needed collating and how better to do
that than to Storify the lot?
So, in gratitude to all and everyone who sent me
greetings on Twitter, messages for good health, for strength and even such
effusive praise that I cannot at my very best measure up to the least of the
encomiums – the Storify is to cherish, document, and savour the wonderful
things said to me.

Compendium of Birthday Greetings.
