WAKE UP SID!!!
Please dont be under the impression that, this post will talk about the movie… 
I haven’t watched the movie completely to write about it. I couldn’t come up with a title so I used this one… 
On Saturday night, I was watching this movie with my friends Shashi, KK and Shewetos. I was too sleepy and went inside after watching it for half an hour or so. I was about to sleep and heard some one knocked our apartment door, I just peeped out of our bed room, and saw a father of 3 or 4 year old kid who are staying downstairs. I didn’t bother and arranged my sleeping bag and slept. Within two minutes, Guru came inside and told, tonight is Lucky’s, (The kid, no idea is he unlucky to have such parents or lucky to celebrate his birthday in US @ 12 in the midnight) birthday and they are going to cut cake @ 12 in the midnight!!! I was shocked and confused…
I can understand, guys/girls staying away from home or in hostel or anywhere in this world celebrating their friends birthday @ 12 in the midnight, but a kid who dont even have the idea what is birthday, the parents are celebrating it @ 12… Don’t they have commonsense or it is just a matter of status to keep that child awake till 12 and then celebrate? Is it really needed? Cant they celebrate it in the morning or evening, on birth day.
When I was kid, my parents used to do aarati in the evening of birth day and cook some special sweet and distribute among some of the known neighbors. But What has happened to today’s parents? Are we matured too early or they aren’t?
Me, Vish and Kabbur laughed @ their foolishness (or our intelligence, I dont know) and slept peacefully!!! And woke up Sunday morning @ 10AM…
Wake up Sid !

Well I don’t know about the maturity level. But, I would call it westernization. And the fact that we find this foolish tells us that we are not influenced by western culture yet

Yeah i agree with Teju…. Its not about their maturity level.. Its all about what ppl think adapting to the new culture and being cool about it.. It will be great if atleast we, who find this uncalled for dont follow the same!!
You have brought up a good point of discussion shaanya

Shaanya, i dont know what u r complaining about. I was actually
happy that they celebrated the birthday at 12 in the night. Look at their enthusiasm. This shows their love towards the kid. Why do u celebrate ur and ur friends bday at 12 in the night? why spoil everybodys sleep? why cant just do it next day morning?.. The excitement of celebrating @12 is different right? Its the same here. You will understand once you are a parent and love ur kid more than the world.

But Manoj, a four year old will only see it as a sort of torture be forced to stay awake at 12.
