Quarter of a Century !
So at 25, I really don't know what to start writing. I go through the archives and see what I wrote last year .. Well, nothing has changed much, except an additional 365 days to my existence in this world.
Well for a change, party began yesterday evening.. Instead of going back home, office buddies Rash, Roopa and myself plan to camp at Roopa's place for the midnight party. Thanks to her hubby S, and her yet_to_be_born 6 month old foetus, for accommodating naughty brats like us in their home.
Roopa made some nice hot Aloo parathas which we had with Curd, butter and spicy chutney. Rash was mad about going and having Ice-cream at Corner House, Indira Nagar. Roopa had Vanilla Ice-creams loaded in her fridge and she pointed to a corner in the living room and asked Rash to go and have her version of Corner-House Ice-cream ! Anyways adamancy is one of the things which Rash and I always carry along everywhere and finally the 4 of us drove down to Corner House at 10.25 pm.
We returned back at 11.15 pm and allowed Roopa's hubby S to get some sleep. Meanwhile, I logged into the net and began bday talks with buddies. At 11.45, all of us were drained and tired, thanks to the e-connectivity which kept me awake. I was wondering if I had to wake up the folks and remind them to sing the bday song while I cut the cake. Yeah, I happened to open Roopa's fridge and already scanned the surprise Black-Forest cake these gals had got for me from Sweet Chariot. I almost spoilt the show, so the gals too lost enthu and retired to the bed. Roopa feels, fridge and kitchen should be the last place to hide things from me. At 12, got royally beaten up by the bony Rash, while half-asleep Roopa was pleading her to keep me alive.
jnagal and
airr get the early bird prizes for midnight wireless wishes! The world here is sleeping and calls would shower in the morning. Rash is awake, staring at Roopa's tummy. Hmm, next year, at 26, we would have a little brat to join my bday celebrations ! One of the different things I started doing in the past one year is to meet online blog friends and some of us have really bonded very well. Thank you all(those I have met and yet to meet also), I am learning a lot from you, your life and your friendships.
How I look at 25 years of my life ( will write about it in detail in a later post ) :
0-5 - Doing the first of many things, walking, talking, writing, singing. exploring the world, family.
5-10 - meeting people outside family, making those innocent friendships, were everything you know is all about sharing, giving and taking. studies is something which is brought into your routine. you begin to explore new things.
10-15 - world is not all about being good. jealousy, possessiveness, selfishness, anger, give company and contrast to all good things you are born with. Studies becomes a major part of your life, what you do and achieve now, will open up the roads to future.
15-20 - late adolescence, you have that first major crush with that special someone wich lasts a lifetime. Studiies is now seen in a different angle, it is either last minute preparations for marks, or that particular subject you are really interested in and want to pursue your career in.
20-25 - post college, post adolescent life. this is when you start living on your own. You earn for yourself, you start becoming responsible for what you do, good or bad. you start thinking about life seriously. marriage is an issue now. whatever you plan - life, job, marriage, relocation, love, friendships, whatever happens is what finally was destined to happen. There is nothing specific you can do, you need to aim, try, take it the result and move ahead.
And with that hope, I move ahead, miles to go..
