10.10.'10
My birthday is on Sunday. It is a special day. This day would never come again in my lifetime. It is not the same as I would never be 69 again. It is the date on which my birthday falls this year that is unique.

It only dawned on me a few days ago. Only people who are born on dates 1 to 12 can have this unique privilege. It would only happen in the first 12 years of a century. People who are born on dates 1 to 9 have already had this. In this century, there are only two more dates left after mine. Then it would only be in the 22nd century. I don't know how to calculate the probability of anyone having it in their life time. I feel so happy I realized this before the event. I somehow feel honoured. I share my date of birth with one of my favourite Hindi film stars - Rekha. I wonder whether she is aware of this special date.

My cousin Sampath would have this privilege next year.
