Recently was my mother's birthday.But it was really out of my mind and at the night she told me that "the day which has just ended was my birthday"....I felt so guilty then.I could do anything for her on this special day..
So,from then on I have decided to pen down or anyhow find a way to remember the birthdays of my love ones and friends...
So,help me out by suggesting ways to remember special occasions so that I dont get embarrassed any more???

Facebook's got a cool and reliable application for storing and reminding you of friends' birthday, but they've got to have an account too...when all else fails a good old big calendar hung or pasted on your door or wall will do. Put all those birthdays on it and make it a habit to check on it everyday.

Hmm, put on your wall, a big calendar, and every year, at the start of new year, make sure you write down important dates of people you love, and make sure you write it in bright colour so that it will grab your attention every time you see it and somehow it can make you remember the important dates.

At the beginning of the year, make it a habbit to encircle all important dates on your calendar like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. hang the calendar in a conspicuous place so that you will remember every time.

Maintain a special diary of yourself to keep track of special events, especially "Happy Birthdays",except yours. I think you don't have the good habit of wishing happy birthday to friends & others. Next time try this and make somebody happy. One top secret: recently the same thing happened to me like your mom's. Hmmm! from that I come to the conclusion that this generation is going pretty careless. AMEND IT.

You could purchase a diary where you could list down all the important ocassions in your life.i do understand your mother must have felt very bad that her child has forgotten her birthday but you can still compensate for it by just doing for her something special like something she wanted to do and could never do. then maybe she might forget all about her birthday. You could also keep reminders on your cell phone or even on the telephone if that fascility is provided in our country.better luck next time .. be careful these are vry sensitive issues.

I marked each birthday on the date book in my cellphone.And when the day comes,it reminds me that what the special day is.And maybe you can buy a small note book and note down the important birthdays on it.
