The great poet William Wordsworth has quoted, "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life’s star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home."
Birthday is a day that brings in special memories of childhood, the day you were born in your family and made everyone feel happy about it. When a child is born in a family, it is as if the whole family undergoing a total rebirth. With the birth of someone, many new relations and responsibilities are also born and thus the whole family experiences a mental change. Every year when the day comes, it brings back fond memories of the day you became a part of the family. So on that one day a person is made to feel special by all close friends and relatives in whose lives you had brought a pleasant change on that special day. This day is celebrated as your birthday and people close to you convey all the good wishes to make you feel that you are important to them. Often a medium is used to convey these emotions. The most popular medium today is a birthday card.
A lot of care needs to be taken while choosing a birthday card. The picture that is embedded on the card and the words printed on it say a lot of things about your feelings for the person for whom you have bought the card. Long ago, no such printed or ready made cards were available for expressing your thoughts. Hand written notes on colored paper or silk was used to convey your message. People had to choose their language very carefully and thoughtfully to express their good wishes.
Nowadays, there are many such card manufacturing companies which take special care in manufacturing these cards keeping in mind every emotion that people undergo while giving the cards to their loved ones. All that is left for you is to go and buy the card that is best to describe your feelings for that person. You have to choose the cards keeping in mind whom the card is meant for. The writings need to be just apt. But you can also personalize the card, which shows that you truly care about the person, you are sending the card to.
Choosing the right card not just by judging it with the picture on it but reading and feeling each and every word engraved on it, shows how much a person is remembered on his/her special day.
