Wow. Man, it sucks to not know when you were truly born.

That generation mostly consisted of grafters and people who faced huge odds (the great war, extreme poverty, student movements, Uganda etc). They didn't care too much about Birthdays. Some of the elders even now don't care about their DoB. They don't see any actual value in it compared to things which they consist are important e.g. family, charity, work....

Huge odds? How my grandfather basically became a spy against the Japanese because he couldn't find any guns to use aginst them. He was one of the most daring men I've ever known.
