Turn Turn Turn

This was due for sometime.

Yo! I turned 30, no I didn’t turned thirty women I just turned 30 years. So how do I feel, well there are tons of thoughts, and ideas over it let me start one by one

First one that comes to mind is straight from sitcom Friends Episode where everyone turns thirty. Rachel was celebrating thirty, rather was sullen about turning thirty and how everyone narrated what they felt when they turned thirty. I like part where Phoebe turns 30, she had so many things unfulfilled from her wish list, one of the items was a “Kiss” and our dear Joey was prompt to fill the gap – anything for a friend Yeah Right J Well I buy that philosophy if that’s the wish list my friends (girl) have, what are friends for …
I was with bunch of people with whom I will have privilege to share what it feels when you turn 30. Remember me people, I will be there for you and of course if you have some of exciting things in your wish list why wait till you are thirty.

Now on second line of thought on turning 30, it was akin to turning 20 – getting out of teens was something, though I don’t remember everything except but just that yes I wanted to come out of teens for I wanted to be part of mature group, probably teenagers of my time or rather of each generation are under scanner of society because society feels that that’s where the rot is. At the very same time I didn’t want to grow up and leave teens behind because that meant leaving carefree life of abundance, splendid teens gave way to Twenty, Rocking Twenty just left me at door step of thirties. I am not here to write my biography as there are miles to go before I sleep but yes I have grown into something unique over time like most individuals do, only difference being that I celebrate my individuality and uniqueness in a more emphatic way then most others.

Is there a need to set agenda for life after thirties? Is there? Yes there is, like I have done at most important stages of my life. Agenda is to Cherish, and Live life coz “I am gonna be eighteen Till I die”

Now on rapid random blabbering on my views on turning thirty, Yes indeed I have grown up, Grown more mature, grown more immature, more sensitive, more harsh, more patient, more restless, everything life has to offer I have more. More love, more blessings, more people Just one thing life is constantly keeping tab on and that is Time. True everything comes at COST of TIME. Time to be with myself, time to be just me, time for people I love and care for, time for me to stop time. Everything will be more than before but less time to cherish, especially small joys of life.

We tend to believe it’s alright to not to do same old things. We do find time to regret that but we don’t get time to do same old things. I haven’t taken a walk in wee hours of morning with my dad, haven’t bought roasted peanuts and walked bylanes of my dear city. I have not met same girl every day at bus stand or rushed to bus stand every day to just take a look of her. I have not kicked stone and walked in its direction to kick it again and walked a mile like that, oblivious of fact that people are watching. I now USE innate things not LOVE them, my bicycle was a sample of perfect machine –opened almost every month, cleaned, greased and packed to perfection for next round of speed race in morning, I don’t do that I just use things. I don’t cherish and enjoy that, I haven’t done that in long time. For sure I have grown up; it’s “CERTIFIED” that I don’t do things that I used to do. I have grown up Finally, now I stand taller than life and look down upon her at all possible instances.

Well on lighter side, I am now in club of Aishwarya, Sushmita just that they seem more attainable. I still miss Kajol J . Also, soon I will have salt and pepper hair, and serious eyes will be definitely more attractive to girls half my age. I just need to loose 30 to look rocking in my Thirties.
One of the best things will be that now people will not get disappointed if they guess my age they will be closer to real unless I decided to loose 30 and start fooling people all over.
Signing off,

Growing is mandatory, growing up is optional
