Karthik Ramesh never wishes people a Happy Birthday. He always goes the long route and takes the pain to say, "Many more happy returns". It's such a mouthful. Even when he has to text his wishes, he will type out the entire bloody sentence as if that's normal. It bugs the pickles out of me.
What does that sentence even mean? What returns are we talking about? It sounds as if your entire life has been an investment and it's on this day that you wish you get some returns on it. The first half sounds about right, but you ain't getting no returns on this one, son.
His argument to the above rant is going to be, for that matter, what does "Happy Birthday" mean? We are happy you were born, so let's hope today, on the day you were born ages ago, your day is happy? All the other days of the year don't mean for squat? Sigh. He will be making sense if he says that. I hate it when the man is right.
Anyhoo, I hope you're getting good returns on your life and living happily each day.
