My Birth date

Yesterday was (mama) mano's birthday,had a great time there.Incidentally it wasn't his birthday alone,his sister shares the birthday with him.No,they aren't twins,he is younger to his sister by exactly 4 years.It must have felt great to share a birthday,particularly when they are close to you.I was compelled to try and remember if there was anyone with whom i shared my birthday,i couldn't find anyone.After some research,these are the few people who were born on the same day as me(of course,different years).
Alistair MacLean(April 28, 1922 - February 2, 1987)-I was in fact very surprised and in a way happy to find his name.This author wrote about the seas in a way such that anyone who read it simply couldn't help but falling in love with sea.I simply worshiped him and still do,once even wrote an exam to join navy(though i cleared it,i was discouraged from joining it.Unfortunately he died the year i was born.
Harper Lee (born April 28, 1926)-A one book wonder,though the book is a masterpiece.It's the kind of book that should be made compulsory in schools and colleges.Atticus Finch is the kind of person who should followed as a role model.
Eugene Merle Shoemaker(or Gene Shoemaker) (April 28, 1928 – July 18, 1997)-no,he doesn't mak shoes,he was a scientist.He is the only person to have been buried on moon.A comet was named after him,which crashed into Jupiter in 1994,which was one of the few names i remember from what i learnt when i aspired to become a scientist in school days.Everytime i see Michael Schumacher along with some other person in a connect question with some unidentified person in a quiz,my mind veers off to this guy.
Saddam Hussein(April 28, 1937-December 30, 2006)-you know him,i don't have to explain.The man had guts,but not brains.
Oskar Schindler(28 April 1908 – 9 October 1974)-Schindler's list explains everything.
Lee Falk (April 28, 1911 - March 13, 1999)-Phantom and Mandrake creater.
Ferruccio Lamborghini (April 28, 1916 – February 20, 1993)-The guy's company would still be making tractors if Enzo Ferrari had been careful with his words.I came across Lamborghini cars from the pictures from the car aficionado,a certain RAJENDRAkumar.

Jay Leno(born April 28, 1950)-Aravind's favorite Tv show was of that of Leno's.
A quote of Leno-" Don't forget Mother's Day. Or as they call it in Beverly Hills, Dad's Third Wife Day. "
I'm not a sexist,but couldn't find woman of any significant being born on this day,the two people i found were Penélope Cruz andJessica Alba.

There's another very close person with whom i might have shared my birthday.That's my dad,the difference being just a day.He was born April 29,28 years before my birth date.
