This ‘happy birthday’ issue has been discussed earlier in different threads, I have also expressed my views and repeating everything here is, in my opinion, sheer waste of time.
Very funny ideas are being poured in here. One member has opined “I would like to wish even a stranger on his or her birthday”. I request such nice members to spare this Jatland website and adopt another nice method – every morning, keep a flower-basket on your head, go to a crowded market-place with a banner in your hand “Those who have their happy birthday today, please come forward and pick up a flower – gratis from me”.
Is it necessary to write a thread on everyone’s birthday when there are dozens of options available to express this – sending PM/ VM/ e-mail etc. through Jatland, personal e-mail messaging, e-cards, personal phone calls and so on. If there is so much of enthusiasm for such ‘nice’ activities – better request administrators to start a special “happy birthday” forum with a provision that threads will be automatically deleted after a week or ten days.
Jatland is not a restricted website – it is open and accessible for everyone - member or non-member. Is it wise to tell the whole world that today is birthday of so-and-so jatlander? Please inculcate some sense – believe it, in today’s cyber-world it is also a security risk !

You know I actually find that very hilarious! Comparing wishes by someone to scars?
If people are that sensitive , its shocking to find that they are oblivious to the obvious scars that people paint on let's say other parts on the Jatland.
With due regards Sir , Probably if someone is willing enough to put his/her profile /details on Web , he/she should be prepared for even the fat tail events. People not understanding the risk profile should I guess refrain from doing that in any case.(Wishes or no wishes).
And if someone is telling me that he/she is so passionate about his/her profile on JL , that a few posts by unknown are like "SCARS" or something similar , I dont buy the idea! That passion should convert to something very constructive , if not I dont categorise that as passion.
==============
To end it from my side , I find no wrong doings in going to some one's profile and wishing him/her and/or sending PM and/or writing emails and/or writing in a comon thread.
Ofcourse I am against one thread for one person approach(And I am being repetitive because I even supported the idea of one single thread for the bulk of jokes rather than 1 for each one).
pls. b informed tht this thread has bn selected for the annual award distribution ceremony tht wud b held on gandhi jayanti, 2nd october :D
so i thought, to recommend anil's name as best constructive contributor for the efforts nd time he has taken to put forth his viewpoints despite of the fact tht this thread was rendered illogical nd idiotic by fellow JATlanders (confessed by anil himself :p )
...
pls. don't kill me... nd take it on a lighter note (honestly, i swear no bad intentions of being sarcastic or watever... pls. take it in good humor... my humble request)

Why did u choose the day of 2nd oct (Gandhi Jayanti) for this auspicious function. :D
And I think that the awardee should be Mr. Vivek Taliyan. He really deserves this award. His foresight caused him to create this thread. I vote goes to him. :D
And I would like to again admire his perception, His recent post is notable. I'm sure that it'll create values for all Jatlanders. :D
Jatlanders please come and give him your big hands to create this thread a big nonsense zone. :D :D
Kudos to you Vivek.

i too believe in this Sir..

very right point you raised.....and here's my opinion
as told by our moderators, the total no. of members are around 11000 and is always on an increase....that means after every second/third day we might have somebody here to wish on his/her B'day.....though very interesting at our part and extremely enjoyable at receiver's part, but it......lead to heavy bulk of such similar threads and will make it seem like organised for b'day wishes only....sometimes, there falls 2-3 b'days together and then every group likes to wish in their own style
......i don't say that one should not be wished.....you should, whether you know the person or not (ur choice)......its another little way to give a happy feeling to the person ......but.....can be done through private message or visitor's message......instead of creating number of threads which will not create any new productive thought or better understanding
also how much you feel for a person can be expressed personally thru msgs but not by making it public.....public issues are of greater concern, not like b'day wishes type
so wish everyone or whoever you like but don't waste the threads and important space created by special efforts of the administrators

I have a feeling that you might be up for some rewards too in case such a function is organised....
Hello Neelam ji,
Very nice to read precious views on this thread.
Actually U and some other fellow members as well, have diverted the issue of this thread. :D
For your better knowledge (thought you already have the best but "citation" needed :D) the thread was started with a motive to seek objections on the actions of the a few members, those who, visit every day to the profiles of the "b'day guys" and wish them.
Our honorable member Mr. Vivek sought the following objectionS . (the first thread is quoted below, I'm explaining each sentence, what I have understood and what Vivek ji wanted to say. :p ):-
So pls pay your attentions to this very very important issue.
1. Now a few members are unemployed they don't have any job. They pass their time by wishing the members.
(Wishing someone is a pass time or a business :confused. Kam se kam 10 minutes to pass ho hi jaate honge unke. :D)
2. Some people have created a team (or I say a group).
( It's better to wish some one but going there in a team is a damn ****, It's not a good thing. Uski profile to dar jaati hogi bechaari , kahi ye usse cakes chhin ke market me to nahi bech dete hai. :D )
3.This teams wishes even to those members who are not daily visitors and don't contribute to the forum.
(Unko wish mat karo chaahe unke paas time ho ya nahi ho. Ye bhi ho sakta hai ye team unknown logo ke paas apni team ke membership ka proposal leke jaatI ho :D)
4. The actions of this team are not meaning full.
( Itani badi team hokar bhi unme se kisi ke paas bhi deeda nahi hai kya . Apni forum ke members ko b'day wish karna bhi koi etiquettes me aata hai kya. Ye cheez etiquettes me shamil nahi hai ke aap apni forum ke members ko b'day wish kare. Team members keep it in your mind :D)
5.Aur ye team apni man marzi chalati karti hai. Har kaam "sensible sa" nahi karti hai.
(Aur me dekh raha hun ki vo abhi bhi wish kar rahe hai. Shayad yaa to vo is thread ko padhte nahi hai yaa fir yaa fir padh ke ignore kar dete hai. :D)
6. The mentality of this team is very sick.
(Yadi unke kaam me koi interfere kare to bekaar me bhakheda kar dete hai :D)
I think, I have explored all the hidden issues. So Neelam ji, Bram ji, Anil ji and other honorable members, kindly suggest the forum how to get rid of this critical problem. :D
