What’s your Age?

Taking a line from my previous blog “We humans never realize the importance of things in life till we loose them..” One of which is age. Every one of us have got an age stuck up in our minds, like say I am still 22 years in my mind… (Don’t believe it?? give it a proper thought and you will arrive at your correct mind-age—now that’s what I call it). The feeling of nearing 30 has still not sunk in! Reason? 22 was an age of self-discovery, maturity, individuality, independence, self-confidence, beauty, freedom. Everything was colourful, each day was vibrant, full of surprises, every time a person of opposite sex looked at you .. there was a mushy blushy smile on your face. Everything looked possible then, everything was challenging because that was an age when I had graduated and started off working in ICICI Bank. Life was full of “Hanging out with friends for coffee, Team Lunches, Surprise Birthday Parties, Train friends, Timelines, Presentations, Projects, Training, Work Pressures, Late night working , Abusing Bosses and above all this Pay Cheque !”

Life didn’t stop at that and it moved on, there were lot of good and bad things in my life since then and before too, but then somehow I loved it when I was 22 ! So there, I am stuck in that age forever!  I never wanted to believe that girl’s life changes completely after marriage. I wanted and was determined to keep it just the way it was before. I was successful till my son’s arrival. After his birth, my life has taken a 360 degree turn! Which mother won’t agree with me? Amidst all those night shifts, changing diapers and other baby woes, the best part was that I had an opportunity to visit my childhood once again J. To behave like a kid, to think like a kid, to act like a kid was just wonderful. How much fun they have in simple things in life, that’s what we learn from them. They see what they want to see, they hear what they want to hear and they do what they want to do ! Why not apply same theory to our age and say “I am as old as I think”… My motto: Age gracefully

I do not mind getting older but, I do not want to get old..  I loved badminton and used to play it a lot during school and early college days. I plan to rekindle my love for it. As long as I can still be a kid from time to time and do things for myself, I will be happy J.

Must have happened with you all too.. or maybe you just never realized that…So let me know which age are you stuck on?
