Birthdays always have been a very dear thing to me. And sometimes I do think I associate a lot of importance on that one day. remembering birthday was always a sign of the fact that the other person cared for you enough to remember your day! Something which sounds crazy now, but dint seems so, two years back. Now, it looks like a scary scale of measurement of ones' love towards you. And gifts, rather the cost of them, aren't essentially the only way to show it. Its always the thought behind them. A small token could get more appreciation than an expensive branded something. And the worst, when you feel the gift is a return for some favor you have done before.
All this prologue for nothing. Birthday went on great, me feeling very very important in the office. A little shy too, which doesn't happen too often. A few mood swings here and there, but all in all a memorable one.

You write about the scale being scary, why so?
Because you fear that something unexpected is round the corner or something is going around the corner for the last time ? Now, why would you associate any of this with something as simple as a birthday gift, unless someone important forgot your birthday big time !
And agree with everything else in the post, esp. the 'return' gift for a favour.
It is a different issue that ppl who forgot actually dint care. but there wll b some who genuinely have a bad memory but care a lot. So then it becomes a scary scale.
Yes!

please dont use it!!

From one who has a very bad memory in general!!
