Growing Old...

-
Growing old.. Not sure how counting our life by days has any purpose.. I really feel age/number doesn’t make the person old.. I cant imagine some of my close buddies when they say the number I cant/don’t want to accept it.. I really feel their age just froze in my mind as who they were when I saw them first because they never changed..they are the same fun-to-be/always-be-there-for-me person like I always known them.. 

Again the number doesn’t count as one to be old. Coz I know some really old people(of any age) who doesn’t have any motivation to stay young and some kids (like me!! Duh!!!) act like one all the time. You shouldn’t stop yourself doing something just because your number is big.. I read somewhere You get old when you stop having fun. Why do we need to restrict ourselves just coz of some number..No one is stopping us, maybe people around criticize but they always do.. why bother..

Meaning of Fun varies for each individual, Its completely up to the person. Fun for me is exploring new places/food/shopping/travel/Being myself. Challenge me, I’m up for it.

Lot of inspiring young people in their 60’s or 70 olds (I call them young coz they truely are in their heart) achieve so much like this person and so many others..  looks like I have manyyy more years to do something purposeful.. 

Why am I talking about age/number you may ask, because my bday is coming up in months’ time.. I’m very much excited but I fixed my age completely in 20’s.. So don’t ever ask me that question.. I don’t have any plans changing my number/age in the near future..

It may be confusing to read the post because I started as though I don't believe in big nos but ended up saying I'm not accepting the big numbers..Sounds confusing right!!!? but I'm clear on my choices..

Rule of thumb for a blind date is to trust the process and to go on a date with no/zero expectation. You do not know who you are meeting until you see them. You cannot check their FB profile or see their stories in Insta. You go there with open mind. If you are lucky, you get a wonderful experience and stories to tell your grand children. Mine was no different, I must say I was always lucky with my blind dates. I have had so many experience of this. However, it was not like I didn't have a choice. Like most of you I too had a conventional way, but choose another way.  I'm talking about my blind dates with this world. Would you dare to go on a blind date with this world? I would. I certainly would. I love the idea of exploring the world , a new place without a map/GPS in hand. I just love the idea of embracing the local culture without reading a travelogue. I just love to taste local food at a street shop in a small alley 'coz local people eat there. I

My dear pre-teen..

My dear pre-teen,  Part of me wants you to stay young and innocent, but life gets to us all and you grow, and I have to grow as well. First, I want to thank you for putting up with me and my parental demands. You take me by surprise every single day with your patience, focus, attitude, and how you face challenges that are thrown at you. I’m so grateful to watch you grow the way you are growing with kindness, satirical sarcasm, to-the-point-arguments, your excitement to be involved in every adult conversation, and your logical and strategic thinking- you are the best ‘IDEA’ man I know in this world. Thanks for teaching me how to reach for the moon and stars.  This is going to be a big year where you are going to face your first breakups and first ‘goodbyes’ to the wonderful community of friends you grew up with. I don’t know how much you can understand that now, with some of your friends- this might be it. I hope you appreciate their presence in your life and the impact you

12 to Twelve - Wisdom Sparkles

Often, I have a casual conversation with A and get surprised by some of his responses which I find very profound. I don't know whether he understands the meaning of it or it's the way children brain work - stick to rudimentary thinking, we adults complicate everything unnecessarily. I have recorded so many of our conversations in my other related posts, but this one deserves a post on its own. Little things matter  be it a gesture of care or love, last night I was down (blame the hormones!!) and was lying next to Aaryan who was busy watching TV. I turned around and asked him whether he would love me forever, he asked me “ What do you want me to say amma! ”. He was genuine when he asked me what I wanted to hear so I would feel better. He knew it was a silly question that I asked, but his presence of mind to check with me when I was feeling low was true blessing. Incident from the past , this is during our recent trip to Mildura and it was a longggg drive(7 ho
