I am not good in remembering dates so I noted the birthdays of my friends and relatives on my planner. However, even though I see their name on my planner, I am still forgetting to greet them. So I end up checking Facebook to see who has a birthday that day.

I'm quite good at remembering people's birthdays, but only my family really - not just my immediate family but aunties, etc. I tend to leave it quite late to buy birthday cards though, so if I have to post them, they tend to be a day late in arriving but I do usually ring people on their birthdays anyway. But yes, I am pretty good with dates.

Yes, I always remember the birthdays of people even if I just heard it once. Maybe I have this very active memory. My friends sometimes amazed with this rare ability to remember even the slightest details of any topic. But I do remember everything even the most complicated details, once I heard it, it will be forever stored in my memory and never forgotten. I can even traced up events when I was four years old. I am now 36 years old and everything is still fresh for me.

There seems to be a lot more birthdays to remember these days. It can be a bit difficult to keep track. Plus, the ages as well, as some of these people, I can hardly believe how old that they are. Therefore, it is rather hard to keep them straight at times. It can be a very demanding task, unless you are rather organized and it is quite fortunate I have.
I am rather organized in the fact that I write the names and ages of everyone who is having a birthday on the appropriate dates on the calendar. Therefore, since I look at the calendar on a daily basis, I'll be able to see when a birthday is coming up. Granted, you have to be a person who looks at a calendar to remember birthdays this way. However, if you are that type of person, it works rather well.

Hi there Sumit 057!
I have a really bad memory. I just remember the birthdays of my closest friends and my family, relatives but not others. That's why I always write down birthdays on my organizer and there are times that I have to set alarms on my phone so to remind me to greet the person.

I don't have to memorize a lot of friends and relatives' birthdays as we don't have the culture of having grand functions for the same. Birthdays have more significant meaning when we were at school. Then, color dress is allowed and we could distribute sweets to friends and teachers. You might not be hit by the teachers for the day.
Now, we celebrate only our family members birthdays and is not hard to remember.

I can always remember the birthdays of my family and some of my friends and relatives. I believe that if those people are important to you, you should also give importance to whatever is important to them. Even if I am busy, I can still remeber the birthdays of my loved ones. In facebook, those that I wasn't able to memorize, I could easily find there whose birthday for that day. In that way, I can greet them just on time.
