Hi Roland,
I've been called Uncle for the last 35 or so years, which is fine, no
complaints.
Actually, I don't quite believe in birthday-ism. My last birthday
celebrated was at 14, when I was already having doubts the logic of it all.
If you're alive you obviously were born (on someday or the
OK so there is a dispute about your birthday either being on the 23, 26 or 27
without any clarification from you.
A google search says you will soon be 58 on that day so until then you may not
be called Uncle.
Here’s wishing you will not be called Aunty either!
Roland.
Toronto.

Happy Birthday and many happy returns

Are you officially a Senior today according to Indian age markers?
The good news: you will be called Uncle even by people older than you.
The bad news: you will notice pretty women less and less and be able to follow
up even less.
