Birthday alarms seem to be the craze right now in the campus, what with only a couple of months left for graduation and all. I have received several emails in the past couple of weeks requesting my birthday details so that I can be assured of birthday greetings from the sender year-after-year.

Pretty convenient, I must say :). All that the sender has to do is just mass-email the request to all his contacts, and I have to fill up his b'day for him to remember! It takes the personal touch out of the equation though - I mean, one might would have appreciated better if the person have had taken slight trouble in finding the b'day details from any of the dozens of social networking sites out there. Huge contact list - no problem, weed out the majority of the contacts whom you are just acquainted with, or maybe send the mass mail only to them :)

But then, who has time for this in the fast lane pseudo-corporate world out here in the campus...
