Was ambling thru a lot of trash on the internet when i suddenly came across this chickenshit article which had interviews of college kids from various metros in India about what they thought about the valentines day - it sucked.
That reminded me of some1 i knew back in school, whose birthday was on Feb 14 :). Cool, isnt it? This particular girl was hardly the type who'd be inclined to follow St.Valentine's ways - she wore glasses thicker than mine, weighed almost the same as i did (back then, my BMI was higher than the BSE Sensex - it still is formidable :) ) and was a nerd to boot. She sure had a tough time when all my 14 year old classmates taunted her on V day.
Now, i thought maybe lets check out whats special about my BirthDay. Wikipedia was not of much help (I already knew that Scarlett johanssen, Avril Lavingne are all my age and born pretty much around Nov 20)
Heres what 'BBC World - On this Day' had to tell: Link
Main article: "1995: Princess Diana admits adultery in TV Interview" - 20 Nov 1995
- Whoa !! im floored. Never had a high regard for the BBC anyways - pompous pricks !!
'The New York Times - On this Day' had this to tell me: Link
1620: Peregrine White was born aboard the Mayflower in Massachusetts Bay - the first child born of English parents in present-day New England. (Not Bad man)
2001: Federal health officials approved sale of the world's first contraceptive patch, Ortho-Evra.
(Holy Cow ! Not again)
2003: Singer Michael Jackson was booked on suspicion of child molestation in Santa Barbara, Calif. (The absolute last straw)
An elaborate 10 minute session on Google to fish for anyother special thing about November 20 leads me nowhere.
*sigh*maybe iam not a special somebody :)

Hey Abhilash, you are special :) We all are special to someone or the other. I have also seen articles where the journo will interview some random people who reinforces the journos views and publish it as a well researched study.
