The scenario of celebrating birthdays before this pandemic:
Before the pandemic touched down, life was so easy to handle, there was no complexity with which we have to deal every second. Likewise celebrating birthdays were meant to be crowded with friends, families and loved ones. With the last days before the day of celebration all our plans and programs were undoubtedly based on the gathering of our pals. Without a loud gathering, birthdays were not meant to become completed. But now withstanding the current scenario planning for birthdays has become an occasion of solitude. As for the sake of betterment of the society we need to maintain proper social distance. But to start with a ray of hope we can plan simply without breaking any sort of precautionary measures and may think of the ways by which we can celebrate the special day along with abiding the preventive measures.
