Being in your early twenties is not such a nice place to be in. Not at least as nice as i had imagined it to be.

Your Career has just started and you have no idea how is it going to be 10 years from now. You have great ideas about how you want it to be, where you want to b e. But then, you have no other option than to take it as it comes. Be patient an d hope for the best. People always think you are wrong. Try pulling you down always. Your silence is mistaken for attitude and your being an extrovert is mistaken for chichorrapan! You are being judged for everything that you do! You are too old for college but too young to be taken seriously. You try to fit in to the either sides but in vain. You try to be highly intellectual but they j ust brush your thoughts away. The transition is so sudden that till yesterday you were not allowed to smoke or drink but today if you don t, you are not considered man enough! And even if you start smoking/drinking, they are a set of people who ll get offended. One by one, all your friends are getting married. Every relative of yours asks Sh aadi kab kar rahe ho beta ? And all you are left to say is Abhi time hai Yaha tak ki my lil cousins ask for Bhabhi as their rakshabandhan gift..! And i thought i could lure them away with a watch or Barbie doll or something like that maybe.. You have all the confidence in the world but very little achievements to prove y our mettle( ofcourse the Rohit Kabra s are not counted here..) . You don t really un derstand the difference between confidence and overconfidence. You want to aim h igh, but how high is high , nobody knows! And if the chachis and mamis ask you abou t marriage, there are chachas and mamas who constantly ask aage ka kya socha hai beta ! as if we have a clue!! By this time we have come to know that all that we have learnt in schools and co lleges is plain waste! No body will ask you to integrate X2 +2X+1. Nobody s gonna ask to balance the chemical equations. or better still, no body s gonna ask you to write a program to print Hello World! You are anyways going to unlearn what yo u learnt and start afresh! You now know that love isn t really that blind and that friendship sometimes has i ts own terms and conditions. Every story doesn t necessarily have an happy ending. People change with time and as much as you hate it,you have to accept that! And you now realize that this age and part of life is not exactly what we though t it would be..! PS: Neha s fb post in my way!
