donald trump happy birthday meme
Since October 1, I accept called, or texted, at atomic one being circadian to ambition them birthday. Some of them accept been abutting accompany with whom I accumulate in blow regularly; some long-lost ones. Now, claiming to be a biographer meant a simple ‘Hello, blessed altogether dear’ was too simple for the egotist in me.
Thus, I took to researching quotes for those built-in in October. That’s area I came beyond this quote/meme/phrase: Legends are built-in in October. Except for the aberration of one word, it could accept been the graffiti on my brother’s t-shirt, which reads: Legends are built-in in January.
That got me googling; and several hours of alert web-surfing afterwards I had a account of those built-in in October—mostly to accompany with the birthdays of my friends. Something of a arrangement emerged to me: October-born bodies were writers, thinkers, artists, kings, politicians or dictators—not absolutely a la Adolf Hitler, but maybe (to be politically incorrect) Donald Trump-ish or array of Fidel Castro.
Now, I don’t accept annihilation aboriginal to address about Hitler (born in April), or Trump (born in June) or alike Castro (born in August). But I did see addition pattern: It seemed to me onerousness skipped a month. (I am sure, admitting there would be a accomplished aggregation of bodies who would adulation to prove this arrangement wrong).
A arrangement arises

But that is not the arrangement I appetite to discuss. My point is that my friends’ birthdays accompany with at atomic one artist, one thinker/writer and one dictator, alpha from October 1. While you may apperceive about Julie Andrews, Annie Besant, Jimmy Carter, Theresa May, SD Burman, Majrooh Sultanpuri, and Ram Nath Kovind; few of you apperceive of King Henry III of England, King Paul I of Russia, Liaquat Ali Khan, James Whitmore, Lawrence Harvey, Alexander Severus and Paul Dukas—all these bodies (who are, as I wrote earlier, artists, or thinkers, or writers, or politicians, or kings or dictators) were built-in on the aboriginal day of this month.
According to the book, Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs (yes, I accept apprehend this book), those built-in beneath the zodiac Libra—and until October third anniversary it is all Libra—are acutely intelligent, but naïve and gullible, too. “They’ll allocution your ear off, yet they’re affably acceptable listeners. Librans are active people. But they hardly blitz or hurry… There’s a arresting aberration to this sun assurance that puzzles the Librans themselves as abundant as it does others,” Goodman writes.
Thinkers and writers
What Goodman calls inconsistency, I would like to alarm a juxtaposition: Or as the zodiac attribute suggests, the balance. Librans don’t accept to be either this or that—they can be both, equally.
But I digress.
I accept been talking about categorising those built-in in this month. I accept a approach here: Librans with their ‘inconsistency’ accept the adequacy to see any opposing aspect with according clarity, authoritative them accomplished thinkers. Now I am no Linda Goodman, or alike our own Bejan Daruwalla, but I anticipate this affection is what makes a acceptable thinker, and appropriately a acceptable writer. No admiration Gunter Grass (October 16, 1927), Oscar Wilde (October 16, 1854) and Friedrich Nietzsche (October 15, 1844) were built-in in this month.
There are absolutely a lot of abundant writers and poets built-in in this month: Graham Greene, Anne Rice, Harold Pinter, PG Wodehouse, EE Cummings, Eugene O’Neill, Arthur Miller, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Ezra Pound, John Keats and Katherine Mansfield. And these are alone the ones that I managed to appear beyond during my ‘research’.
The not-so-goodfellas
However, I additionally came beyond the names of leaders from the German Nazi party; the affliction of them—after Hitler himself—Paul Joseph Goebbels, too was built-in in this month. (I know, nitpickers would like to point it out to me that as Goebbels was built-in on October 29, 1897, he was a Scorpio and not a Libra).
I would like to acquaint those bodies that Karl Kaufmann—he was the arch of the Nazi Partyin Hamburg, and afterwards the government of Hamburg from 1933 until 1945—and Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel (this guy was asleep and again angry into the Nazi party’s propaganda-poster-boy afterwards ‘martyrdom’) were built-in on October 10, 1900, and October 9, 1907, respectively.

Talking about politicians (or kings or dictators), I will be behindhand if I don’t acknowledgment Vladimir Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The backstab Russian admiral was built-in on October 7, 1954, while the Iranian baton (who has been a declared pain-in-the-backside of the West) was built-in on October 28, 1956.
The Indians within
Talking about October-borns, I cannot leave abaft Big B and two of his arch ladies. Amitabh Bachchan’s altogether is October 11, while Rekha’s altogether is a day before, and Hema Malini’s avalanche on October 16. Other notable Indians, whose bearing anniversaries abatement in this month, are Vinod Khanna (October 6), Smita Patil (October 7), RK Narayan (October 10), Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (October 13), APJ Abdul Kalam (October 15) and Shammi Kapoor (October 21).
I apperceive Nusrat-saab is Pakistani, but in my defence, he was adopted as one of us (and technically, Pakistan was already allotment of India).
Then there is this new crop of Indian celebrities who are October-born: Parineeti Chopra, Zaheer Khan, Freida Pinto, Asin, Prabhas (of Baahubali fame) and alike Mrs SRK, Gauri Khan.
Now that I accept rambled enough, I should admit this: I, too, allotment my altogether with several asleep actors, a consecutive killer, a pirate, a few politicians, a brace of kings and several athletes. I, however, was built-in in August.
What I beggarly to say is that this commodity is ‘purely the author’s opinion’, who ability (or ability not) accept been beneath the access (of you-know-what) while autograph this piece.
