I am not very good in remembering important dates viz birthdays etc, unless it happens to be my own . I remember my daughter’s birthday too because her countdown for the next birthday is an ongoing process.There are occasions when I have forgotten the birthday of my wife ( Disclaimer- Do not try it at home with your wife). In this blog, the only important days I remember are the obvious ones viz important natioanal holidays or important Indian festivals. On those days, I post songs relevant to those occasions.
