Nowadays, it’s a norm to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and stuffs in pubs. Even me, this year for my birthday, I was busy enjoying myself in a pub. It was my 1st time, and now, I just love clubbing.
Lets say, if I tell this to those old aunties and uncles that I’m again planning to celebrate my next birthday in this smoke filled place with drunken people, their very first reaction will be:
“Yennathe, pub’le ya? Porenthanal anniki kovil’ke poi arechene panne.” (What, in a pub? Go to the temple and pray on your birthday)
Okey, if indeed someone goes to the temple and pray for birthdays and anniversaries, is she/he going be extra blessed? Will she/he be getting one way ticket to heaven if continue going to temple every year on this days? Wouldn’t I get God’s blessing if I visit the holy place on other days?
Well, what would the goody-two-shoes friend will say:
“Celebrate in an orphanage or old-folks home la? Do something good on your birthday.”
Again, will my good karma points be doubled or tripled if I do it on that day? Can’t I visit them some other day? Or lets say, find out when is the birthday of one of the kids and celebrate it, wouldn’t it be much better?
I do go against the normal Indian life most of the times. Yes, I do question a lot when I think it’s not making any sense to me. It is just ME. If not, it’s NOT me.
Life is all about enjoying, at the same time, do good to others. Given a choice, I would commit myself in charity or praying on other days (festival season, special day for those kids in orphanages), even visiting mother nature (hiking). But on certain occasions where I’m alone involved, I will club till I drop. =P 
P/S: I am NOT an alcohol addict, I don’t drink daily or weekly, clubbing tu sekadar untuk music and menari sahaja. Yes yes, I’m learning and dancing a little. This post is just a personal opinion. Cheers…

ITS NOT ABOUT THE QUESTIONS OF KARMA OR +VE ELEMENT OR -VE ON PLACES…
its about the day tht we see as vital or stop day… as "yearly" new year or birthday or any festival day. we consider it as new beginning or refreshment day or day to look bak n analysis.
nw u may ask y cant we do mental process everyday or next day of the day….thn I wil say…everyday is your birthday so go n dance everyday…..
y u choosing a certain day to do certain thing? if u doing it…
anyway it is personal issue….n needs….n joy as they wan spend it as they wan it.
hope u say the same thing to your daughter and son n be good parents.

everyday day is a new beginning, a blessing.. who knows what will happen tomorrow.. So, normally i will choose to do thing whenever i feel like doing it without delay.. This post was written as the topic crossed my mind…
regarding daughter and son, well, no idea of getting married so far. If i accidentally do, i will still say, once she/he starts working, it's up to them. The freedom which is given to me now will be given to them….

freedom is given in past due to maturity not as u gain money n work in big organization.
so maybe u are mature to do as u wan….but not every1.. stop to jump into conclusion as tht if i earning; im qualify to do as i wan since my parents said go ahead….this creates society issue as nwdays.

The question isn’t whteher or not clubbing and Christianity go together or not, its more the motive behind the person going clubbing. Are they going because of friends or to simply hook up for instance. Personally I think clubbing is ok, but you have to be really careful that you don’t fall away into sin I’ve seen alot of people stray away from God at clubs
