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...
