It was my birthday recently. Some friends wished me some didn't. There were a few calls I was expecting that didn't come but then not all expectations come good.
I have my own theories on various things and have one on birthdays too which I call 'My Birthday Theory'. It goes like this - If you care for someone you would definitely wish him/her on his/her birthday. This may not seem valid to everyone but then again it is not meant to be validated by everyone; its something I believe in. And I do make it a point to wish my friends on their birthdays. Of course I miss some but then I am also human :). But I do try to make up for it by making sure I don't miss it the next time. There are few people I wish without actually speaking to them; this may not seem logical but then you are not always on talking terms with everyone and so this has to be the way sometimes.
Comming back to my birthday I really feel bad when someone doesn't wish me on my birthday expecially those people who are close to me. It feels as if they don't care. While they may say they forgot I don't take it for an answer as to me birthday is an important day for me and people who care for me should remember the days important to me. This year a lot of people - from whom I expected a call - didn't call on my birthday and I was hurt. I could write their names here but then does it really matter? If they don't care they actually don't. And this gives me a chance to see how many people actually care for me (this is one of my tests). Of course reminders in phones can remind you about birthdays but then again one needs to store it initially and then update the calendar of new phone. And in the end the way of remembering doesn't matter - what matters is remembering.

Over 99% of the time the "supposedly" close people who forgot to wish you deliberately or otherwise are trying to give you THE hint. Take it.
What hint? Kindly specify as I always fail to see what you see :P
that they actually dont care.
