25th Birthday!!!!

25th Birthday!!!!!

25th birthday! a day when you must have a makeshift in your thinking... confused? let me begin all the way from schooling.

When you were a child, you never had to worry about anything you need. There were people designated to give you all you need.

you never had to take pain, even the smallest of your worries was taken by your parents..

all you were left with is JOY. You had time for play and all the happiness. Though you would have been pained to study,

you definitely had time for all silly things..

After the joyous school days end, the college days begin.. for most of us, those days would pass by in a jiffy studying for the entrace.. but surely,

they would have given you enough time for pranks and play... for some these would be memorable days.

In college you had nobody to guard u too much.. at the same time you wouldnt have parents to take all pain; or rather

you would be belittled for having to tell all your 'umimportant' things. So, you take up your own problems, and solve others' too.

For an average Indian, life's struggle begins in graduation. Though graduation days are almost the same as the college days and even

more happier most of the times, they start

leading you towards some direction in your career. Graduation also has much time to make friends/enemies/crushes for life.

Joy in graduation is limited not in terms of the amount of Joy you would experience but in terms of economy.

You wouldnt have all the money in the earth to do things you would have done have you had enough of it. No regrets here too as

no amount of money would make you satisfy. But, it's true that you wont have enough money.

Once graduation is done, real struggle in life begins. But life's strange. For some, it comes very easy, but for some it pains like hell.

You would have struggled to find a job for sure...

This is the time when you find handful of money and would have nobody to control how you spend it.

You could do all the things on earth... The golden days for anybody are these....

By now you would have been 23 years old or 24 ... Lucky you if you had found your job in 22 or 21. If so, you would 

have had 2-3 great years of unlimited joy!..

Let's come to the actual point for today.. the 25th birthday!

As years turn one by one, your soul would want for more joy but unknowingly your age creeps...

You would have felt really happy when you turned 21... even more when u did turn 22.. and yeah also on 23rd birthday!

Once your 24th birthday comes, you will learn from your parents about making you more responsible (and all that crap)

But, it's easy to procrastinate your parents wish when you are 24.

Though your age grows from a number to a higher number, your soul would remain the same. It's still the young soul, which asks for more joy.

And once you are 25, you begin thinking that you would have to take up responsibility sooner or later... You will see people

around you taking it up, and how much ever you deny it, you would still think it must come to pass.

You never know when that time comes, but you know it would come definitely. And this is the greatest enemy of man's happiness.

Anticipating something which would happen sometime in near future, and in doing so losing the happiness you now have.

This is the time when people around you start treating you more elder guy (now that you are 25), and you listen more often 

from your parents that you have to tie knot.

It's not defined that life after marriage should be happy. It could be either way.. but it would definitely be occupying.

Most of the guys wouldnt be prepared for that, but one cant help putting this off for long.

SO THIS IS THE TIME WHEN YOU MUST THINK AND TRANSIT YOURSELF INTO AN ELDER GUY. YOU WOULDNT LIKE TO DO IT. EVERYBODY IS 

HAPPY BEING YOUNGER. BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE ELDERNESS GRACEFULLY. YOU GOT TO SHIFT GEARS AND SLOW DOWN.

So, 25th birthday would be the most worrying birthdays when one has to give up youth and embrace the truth that he grew.

Never know how life comes to you, you have to make it happy and be happy too...

Intertia -- Law that holds in our lives as well

Hmmm, here again there's something which is as strange as nostalgia. Law of intertia, suprisingly, holds true in human lives too. As it applies for bodies at rest and those in motion, it applies equally well for humans living at a place. I had to face this recently when I had to move out of my home city. At the outset, it doesn't make any difference until you start leaving or until you leave. For me, as the time to depart was approaching, I was gradually getting unsettled. So, by the time I had to step in Bangalore, this feeling was so heavy that I was thinking it would have been great if all my travel was a dream. I felt like running back home, and not go out again. I still feel that I came out of the city for an outing and have not relocated.

I guess that happens again once I depart this city, which is not in near future. But, life's so strange that you have to experience such things. Nevertheless, it's those things which add variety and color to life; which bring us fond memories when we retrospect...

Adieu

My friend I'm nuts
As I recall the day you departed
The fresh breeze that evening brought
Drying my tears before they oozed out

Wretched was my life
jammed up with futile work
Which fenced me from coming to station
to get a last glimpse of you dear

parting was tough, but inevitable.
My heart breaks, yet gods wouldn't stop time.
I console myself with the memories we share
as we find our own ways of living.

The time doesn't come back
this truth makes me gloomy
yet I wish it gets back
When we all live those moments


Now I await the great day
When I get a slight chance
To realize my feelings and hope
And lavish my time with you


That reminds me of great departure
When again we are crushed
As we part ways in search of living
Only hoping for days to come back

Nostalgia

I'd love to write pages and pages about this particular feeling. Nostalgia is one such feeling you would feel when you depart somebody or recall somebody after missing them or the strange feeling which pains you when you come across places you've been very dear with in the past, while listening to your once favorite music, and what not! One can be nostalgic in every way.

Nostalgia for me is as sweet a pain as love, though I haven't experienced so called 'love'. It's awful to undergo nostalgia although you would admit you still do not want to do away with that. One such feeling which takes you back to your past and makes you relish those thoughts. Though the days become old, the memories stay still afresh.

In this nostalgia I'd like to write about a few favorite tracks of mine which would make my heart throbbing. It was the time I joined a college for my graduation. I lived with my friends in a rusty place. Then was released a movie which went on to become a biggest hit of that year. Those days you would invariably find that music being played in everybody's rooms, in every commercial space and in every auto. Though that music hasn't impressed me as it had a few others, it was a fresh music to listen to. I'd pay heed to those songs if not very keenly. And lately, I came across somebody playing that music. The feeling which I underwent was terrible. I couldn't think of anything else, for sometime my heart's beat went awry. Though I haven't enjoyed the music very well in the old days, but the music has brought along the memories with that. Those good old times flashed across my mind so fresh that I had regretted for missing those days.

All I'd like to say is, nostalgia might not be directly related to the things which had happened sometimes ago in our lives. It could be something else, could be something which we would not like. But those things always bring us fond memories. And those memories are with us forever.

Memories

To begin blogging is a great feeling. So, I'd like to begin saying: "Moments pass away, only memories remain. And it's those memories which keep us alive and human".
