In your twenties - Part 1

STATUTORY WARNING: Reading this blog if you're not in your twenties might not make sense to you. Proceed at your own risk.

Here's a blog dedicated to all my friends who accompany me in the TWENTIES phase. It's said and proved that a person in his/her teens is the toughest to deal with. We've all 'been there, seen it and experienced it'. Now, when I'm in my twenties I stop to think "Why in the world does nobody make a big deal of being a twentite (I jus coined that lame term and shall use it through this blog :P )!!!" I might begin thinking on similar lines when I'm thirty and then, forty and then sixty (if I live that long) and probably publish another post then if I still secure the continued passion for blogging! Anyway, for now let's peep into our present world of the TWENTIES...

"Living the twenties is a mysterious dream", said by a very intelligent person, let's accept it. I tried to make sense of it and here's my justification - It's a dream because more often than not, we're uncertain of what's happening with us and it's mysterious since we don't know why this happens. I'm sure more than 90% of you who read this will agree with me. If not, please scroll up and double check the warning jus' to make sure you're at the right forum ;)

Jus' out of college ~
Many of us were placed on-campus. We were accidentally drowned into the well of over confidence which showed in our 7th sem performance. Thankfully we realized it and "tried" to focus during final semester and it all kinda fell in place since we had only 4 courses. Soon, we were Bangalored - started yapping around in public flaunting the company ID, the only hangouts being Forum, Garuda Mall and at times Innovative Multiplex. Anybody who felt Hubli-sick (feel free to substitute Hubli with your native place) just needed to visit one of these places. Our dear friends in Mysore had begun to realize they had free recreation facilities on campus only coz they had time for nothing other than mid-term exams, Final 1, Final 2 and I don't know what not! Though, Sasken treated us well. In fact, it was a lil too welcoming and ROCKIN' ;) A few of us were those confused individuals who claimed to be determined and wished to multi-task and pulled it off pretty well. We wanted to make our lives more spicy by the GRE ingredient. I was one among them. A chilled out life there at Bangalore with all your buddies, home was only a night away; yet we wanted go to the US though it involved so much 'ghapla' and 'kharcha' and made very confident statements like "we won't turn into those confused desis" (though eventually we do ;) ) and now, we don't think twice before we address our fellow Indians as "desis". I know, its the tragedy of life. But, does not matter, life moves on.

Jus' married ~
If I look through my inbox, I notice a few frequently occurring words in the subject line - Marriage, Wedding Invitation... This has been happening since the beginning of 2008. Not just there, school friends whom I had not spoken to in ages sent me a friend's request on orkut and the moment I accepted it, I had new updates - ... added new pictures to album Wedding, ... added new pictures to album Engagement; this one was unbelievalbe: ... added new pictures to album "My lil one turns one". I was absolutely dumbstruck! Where were all these people for so many years! Now, they're all showing up after being married. Feels like everybody jus realized that its time we get married and spread the word :) And then, I got a chance to read about the sweet and memorable moments of their life. This one was for all of you who got married or are in the journey from engagement to marriage. Live the precious moments to the fullest!

I can't afford to lose your attention through this blog. So, I'll post them in parts. Hope you enjoy reading them!
