I just turned 29 today. Thanks to everyone who wished through phone, Orkut, Facebook and SMS. All those wishes made up my day. Apart from that, today was just another day. Wait a minute! Actually it was different than normal. I had to wake up early in the morning only to find out that there is something wrong with the door lock from the dining room to kitchen. Amma couldn’t open it up, neither could I. Then I had to fix it with another door’s lock. Amma was happy and I was happy because I could go back to bed again at 7 in the morning.
Then there was a close friend’s wedding to attend, so I teamed up with friends and went there. The best part of the wedding was that I could spend an entire day with friends and the worst part was people from the neighborhood asking, “when are you getting married?“, “have you started looking?“, “you’re next!” etc. And then they would share their stories of bride-seeing followed by a lot of advise on how life is. Thanks, but no thanks. 😐
Came back home in the afternoon and then went to watch a Malayalam movie “Makante Achan” which doesn’t deserve a review here. I had high hopes, because there was Sreenivasan and Suhasini, but it was such a waste of time and money. The TV soap serials would give you better entertainment. After the movie, we went to see a food fest in the town. Went around the whole place for a bit and ate nothing. 🙂
When I came back home after all, another friend came by and invited for his wedding next week. What I hate about friends getting married is not that I won’t get them to keep me company for sometime, but the fact that they act like some super seniors. And when they give me a look as if am a boy studying in kindergarten when they just finished graduation… Sigh… 🙁
When I sit alone now and thinking of what these 29 years meant for me – I do see some changes personally, about which I’m not sure if it’s leading me in good direction or not. As the poem goes, there is still miles to go before I sleep and am still traveling. Only that I hope that I hurt fewer people during this journey.
Goodnight and God bless.
