About half a decade later ...

After a long hiatus here I am again keeping the blog alive, before going on another one. This time trying to bring in a touch or maturity and sensibility to the post (ofcourse plus 4 years to my age!), so that the next time I re-visit my blog post, after several years, my eyes won't bleed.
Truth be told I never shared, re-visited my first blog post because I always have enough on my plate, to cringe about. But mustering up all the courage I had, I read it, just once. The post (trying not to use expletives here) is full of obvious grammatical mistakes and what not. This is one of those times when you feel ashamed of pointing and judging public writing of others. Guilty, yes I am. 
So just a quick hi and a redemption post. Mind you no smileys (all grown up!)(trying hard!)

I am 26 now. Late 20's and that surely is freaking the hell out of me. I am in a phase where I have started to get women who hide their age and the reason they do so. I do not hide my age, but when asked, I just casually smile and say early twenties. Guilty, again! There is something about the numbers high up from here that just makes you go "OMFG!" in least expected situations like when you get up early on a weekend morning, to a lovely sight of nature, feeling fresh and energized, thinking of everything in the world you could do that day, and decide to make an occasional breakfast, dancing to the beats of "Me too" and suddenly realize that you are old! Much older than how much Meghan Trainor is. That surely is a mood killer. From here the music doesn't play all that loud just the business gets done.
 I already have started looking at youngsters in age range of 19-23 thinking of all the time and energy and resources they have, to do and experience all the things in the world. I try hard not to think of the time when I was in that age range. I was just okay and laid back, could have been so better. But if I had a chance to visit and advise my younger self I would have tonnes of things to say, not to make some mistakes, make some mistakes. Without brooding much there I just try to look from my 30 40 year old self's perspective, well 30 is just around the corner (ouch!). Hoping to get things right so from my 40 year old self I wouldn't have much to advise to my 2016 self.

So this is just a catching up post. Didn't plan to rant about ageing but after doing the math over the time since the last post, this was the only thing that popped into my head. Good thing is, things have not changed with me ageing 4 years. I might have a grown a bit wiser may be a bit wilder (*wink wink*) but that's just about it. 

I wouldn't get to realize my age so frequently had people of my age weren't getting married so frequently. Every friend's wedding is like a ticking clock reminding of your age. May be it's time, you need to have a plan. May be it's okay to not have a plan.
