Thinking how to
Wish my father
On his birthday,
For on his birthday,
They lost their father,
It was his death day.
(My father's birthday is somebody's death anniversary in our extended family. Likewise, my mother's birthday is also another relative's death anniversary. Though it's sad but it's not surprising to me. Even the legendary singer Kishore Kumar died on his brother Ashok Kumar's 76th B'day.)
