What does it have to do with age... Hmph !

Two isolated incidents that happened within a span of two weeks

1. Six of us met at GRT Grand Days (Coffee shop) for a friend’s birthday treat. During the course of the dinner, I passed a casual comment. “I love this place. Peaceful and serene. Just creates opportunities for people to converse. Quite a contrast to the noisy pubs and loud coffee days”. And two of them in synchrony retorted, “That’s where fun lovers hangout. That’s where party goers spend time. And that’s where young and energetic minds meet. Dude ! You are getting old”

2. I was at Tidel yesterday at around 11.00 PM when one of my colleagues asked, “So, how was Diwali” ? “It was normal. Saw Padayappa. Visited couple of my cousins. And then it was Vassol Raja MBBS. Home delivered Pizza for dinner and that’s about it.” “How about crackers?” , he asked again. “Nah ! Not much of enthu for it this time, I guess”. And so came the quick response, “Is it a sign of you getting old?”

Now the big question is… Am I getting old at heart ? Boohoo !!!

I should have probably told them what the Americans think of me.

    @Ravi

    @Kaps

    There are two more chapters to it and Madhu was referring to that.

    @Sophie

    And thanks a lot ! I just read your last post... Sometimes, it takes a post for people like me to come out with what I feel about others. Thanks for that :o)))


    @Naikutti
    Nah... ithelaam chinna pasanga sollurathu !!! Young at heart is not in what you do, its in how u feel... I feel young and I feel great...So, u have to believe you are not :o)

    @Ravi
    Correct... No one else would buy it after a couple of years for the same price I bought it... So, lets jump out of the boat and stay ashore.

    @Uma
    Super... We welcome outside support also... ;o)))

    Yeah Pizza... Otherwise Idli was ready... so, thought for a change would try pizza... Pataasey vedikala, itula pizza saputa enna thappu ? What say ?

    Oh you were so keen on watching first day first show... Enna aachu ?

    I chose to stay away from TV coz i was denied to right to watch Padayappa which i have been wanting to see ever since they announced it... Only when the remote was free did I come out of my room ;o))))

    We dont have to do what "stereotyped youngsters" do to keep ourselves young. I have always felt the way you do now about quiet places and hate for crackers. Now I'm 23. Have I always been old at heart then?? :=)

    Sometimes it happens.. that you may start thinking otherwise compared to those surrounding you. doesn't mean that we are getting older in heart.. always we need to feel young in heart, even if we cross 50s.. that's my policy..

    @Naikutti
    Do u see this as a typical case of asking a question knowing the answer ? :o)))

    @Vinesh
    Yeah... you are right... Just that these thoughts came as reaction to my statements and though wud have it posted. You ain't old too pal... Nor am I, or that's what i wish to believe.

    @Ram
