Being 24 Someone

• Being 24 someone..and again Its not about years or time but more about the growing phase...growing at personal,social and perhaps so many levels.It is bit different for me from what it could be for anyone else,reasons are many though not quite obvious ones.Let it be.
  
  
• Now I am being counted among grown ups,childhood finally gone (though not really,I am not gonna leave that innocence ever ) .I dont know why,but somewhere I am sure that this year gonna be a turning point of my life.Or should I say it is..actually.

• I see everything like a curious kid.The world is new and bigger,the people are interesting and ambitions are on a high. Now I know a bit more about everything।My world is expanding।I have a better understanding of people,relationships and their right place and importance in life।I have a more clear picture of society ।I know a bit more of "me" today.I am a bit closer to everyone.

• Though being rich in many virtues,I now feel I'd been unknown to one major aspect that's called "Individuality".I'd kind of time that kept me at bay to this word".I dint know the meaning of words like "I", "Me" ,before.
  This is the age when someone really searches out for his/her identity.Uniqueness through which he/she should be known among people, now onwards.At this age we need to have a place in people's heart,a place in the society we encounter with. It can also be taken as the only thing that keeps you motivated to do better and better by each passing day.
  
• 
  This time , just after you complete your college , you see a totally new world . The real world.One thats not smooth , it's rough.You find out that life is neither black nor white,it has a shade of grey.Many a times you find yourself being trapped between rights & wrongs, mind & heart, Moral & logics.It all needs a good balance between the two,and this ratio defines actually the way "You" are.
  
• 
  This is perhaps the peak of youth,when you have so many things on your mind to do,so many aspirations,so many dreams.You are full of viguor and with each of your achievement you tend to love and pamper yourself a bit more.You want to try each and everything you see around.No doubt money has an important role in your life to play,and in today's time...sometimes most important.
  
• 
  You see things from a better perspective.You work on yourself,sharpen yourself.You put yourself in challenging situations at times and check if you can survive through them well.You go out of your reach to meet new people,new ideas,new perceptions.You are quite fascinated towards new things in life. Things that may keep you interested.
  

• You know well what's right and what's wrong coz you have just left the place of idealistic thoughts , the concept of perfect world and people.But as you are in the process of establishing familiarity with this real world..you see and listen..and understand...somehow contradictory concepts.
• Sometimes you are just full of hope and courage or............. sometimes even aggression enough ............that you can change the scene.But later you realise actually........ problems always 'have been more or less same,those faced by our ancestors.....and today us......ranging from professional life,society ect .....to personal one.It all depends how you take it and if really try to make a change . You have got two options One - do what everyone's doing or does or would have done , Follow things blindly.....unconsciously....a path to a monotonic life, Second - take a path,you think is right and better.The way you wanna spend it.....things you wanna do..see things your way,do things your way.
• So you know somewhere inside...things gonna make you confused in near future...and that's your test actually.One that life takes !!
  


• You love your people.You love your friends and you tend to go out of your way to save them,to keep them happy.You face times of failure & disappointments...and sometimes mistakes.But if you are a positive persona..you take each of your mistake as lesson and things become easy then.One major aspect.....lonliness .
• Sometimes you feel a need of a person,or of an ideal relationship.That can put you in your higher spirits each time you feel low.It can b anyone who may keep you motivated...towards positive part of life . Anyone..means anyone,who don't let you feel tired... or inefficient.Someone who can be always there with you ,in your difficulties.Most importantly....One who trust you and in your abilities.

So over-all, there are so many things.

Sometimes,I feel awesome.
Lovely phase.

He asks 'Why should I marry' !

It begins from the very first day itself,where the coy looks,eagerness in her expression covers a calm desire to change everything.While you put an earnest front to actually impress her,she is studying your body language,your table manners and the alignment of your nose and mouth.
For starters,she decides your grooming plan.With the commencement of the main course,she judges your relationship with your family,by desserts she casually ask about your women friends.By the time you have dropped her home,she's worked out a long term plan for your rehabilitation.Of course,she's picked up her share of the tab,for equality of sexes ranks high on her social etiquette.But trust me,that is the last time,she pays for anything.
So,you begin courting and are surprised that she's easy going.She lets you choose your clothes,agrees to your choice of restaurants and movies and befriends all your women friends.

The Transformation :
When the courtship converts to marriage,there's an organic power unleashed which quietly transforms her.Gone is the tolerant ,confirming woman to be replaced by an artist who is hell-bent on bringing a renaissance in your life.Your old friends are either too complex or uncool and any independent social activity will meet with the retort,"Why did you marry me if all you want to do is hang out with your friends?" The most extinct species in your relationship will be your platonic female friends.
The T-Rex may have a chance of reappearing but not them.The reason-she will be crisply cordial to them,because she expects the same reciprocity towards her Male friends.
Many a battle will take place on this battlefield.You will now need to ration your feelings for the rest of world.She decides on the movie,the restaurants,the holiday destinations,the design of the house,your clothes..you pay for her jewellery,put her name in your investment beneficiary,even let the in-laws stay at your place for one month,yet she makes you feel as if you haven't done enough.

True Lies :

The only thing you did without her knowledge was taking toilet breaks,but the dribble on the toilet seat 'reflects your upbringing' . Slowly you seek recourse to that one important glue which holds many a marriage together-the fine art of 'white lies'.
You could smoke a cigarette,spend an idle afternoon with your college mate,link up through Facebook with an old platonic woman friend..only a white lie will help to cover this.Try coming home one day and proclaiming,"Honey ,I'hv decided to take Salsa classes !".
Strangely,the absolute truth is the biggest casualty in a marriage and you realise that lies,deceit and quiet compliance with slow suffering becomes the order of the day.Compromise is king.So why marry and mould yourself,why check into an institution where there's a self-assessment test each day?
Any answers?

Strange!

Have you ever been in a state when you get the thing, you desired for passionately... still you don't feel as much happy or content as you have ever hoped,you would. Therr's always something missing.
And sometimes things you never thought can please you ever,gives you tremendous happiness.

Yes,its strange but it happens..
