Why I dont blow candles on my birthday?

A lotta you asked why I have not put candles on my cake. Dont I blow them?
YES. I do NOT blow candles.
I am not some western nincompoop who extinguishes one of the world's biggest purifier ie Fire by blowing on it that too on my birthday.
Ive grown up igniting diyas and candles for happy occasions, not blowing or putting them off. Rather I let the diya or candle burn until it is over.
Agni bujhana apshagun maana jaata hai. We consider Agni as a witness to marriage, poojas, rituals & all important events in life.
Blowing em off is not what I feel is correct. Apne muh se khud Agni bujhanaa is symbolic to doomsday. I am a very concious individual with deep understanding about symbolism and energy around us.
Next time you are asked to make a wish, by putting off a candle which is synonymous to darkness and ignorance that too on your birthday. Think twice.

ॐ अग्निमीले पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम्।होतारं रत्नधातमम्। ॥१॥
“I pray to you, ‘Agni’, the prime ‘tattva’ of ‘Parmatma’ by performing this Yagya. You, ‘Agni’, were there before there was anything. With ‘Agni’, the creation started. The giver of everything. I pray to you ‘Agni’, in all days, in every season.
You, ‘Agni’, sustain all creation n will consume it when the end comes. Its because of you, ‘Agni’, that we get all the beautiful things of life. You are the source of everything beautiful”.
Thousands of years before, our Rishis grasped the significance of ‘Agni’ in creation of the cosmos. They attained the knowledge that, it is ‘Agni’ that started the process of creation, of coalescing atoms, which appeared from ‘Aakash’.
The power of ‘Agni’ formed stellar dust, stars and planets. They realised that the creation is sustained and nurtured by ‘Agni’. Also, when the end comes, the entire creation will be consumed by ‘Agni’. Therefore, Rigved begins with prayers to ‘Agni’.
