THE MID-TWENTIES CRISIS

Friends, I am born in 1990, December which makes me 25 plus in age. So, I have always got these feelings that this is an age where you neither are a teenager nor a complete adult. This is the learning period and is usually a little messy from my personal opinion. So, in this post, I have tried to jot down my feelings on this mid-20 crisis. Hope you all like it.


Have you crossed the age of twenty-five?
Then your life may seem to be messed up like a bee-hive.
As you are not a teenager anymore,
So you must have stopped being a day-dreamer.
But still you can’t behave like an adult,
And you may be expressing everything without any halt.

Life has never seemed so tough,
When even if you want you can’t laugh.
Because people start judging you from each word you say,
And for them, your one word has many meanings to convey.
Long are those days, when to a girl you could ask for a walk,
Because at this age, they always think it’s their heart you wanna hack.



Try being serious and you will be termed grumpy and bore,
And when you express more, all say childish nature is still at your core.
The teenager say you have become a generation old,
And people elder than you say you are being too bold.
You are sandwiched between two distant generations,
And both of them try to teach you their thoughts and lessons.

Though the rebellious flame is still burning in your soul,
But it’s slowly extinguishing, leaving away the burnt coal.
For every bad thing where you would have shouted before few years,
Now you just close your eyes and shut down your ears.
You don’t know clearly how to react in a particular situation,
And if you keep quiet ignoring them, people accuse you of taking unnecessary tension.

Your heart says you to say everything you want,
But your brain stops you and says, “No, you can’t”.
The definition of love has changed for you,
And you have now known heart breaks are not new.
Your youth inside you demands you to take revenge,
But then you realize, even if you win, nothing’s gonna change.


You have not become experienced like your nearby elders are,
But also you are not immature like those 18 years are.
The same people who say you that you have grown up big,
When you act too matured, they always take a dig.
Thoughts from both the age groups come to you during any situation,
You confuse between which one to choose and finally learn a lesson.

You must be thinking friends, why I wrote this post?
Even I am a guy from the nineties, who kind of felt a little lost.
With every new day I have changed my own definitions of friendship and love,
And I have come across these feelings which I have penned above.

It may be only me who is having these feelings on this land,
But friends, even if you have felt any one of these lines, then please raise your hand.
Because even one raised hand will make me sure,
That I am not exactly mad which I have always thought for sure. ;) :P



P.S. - Learn learn and learn; until you earn... :)

KARMA IS A BITCH...

Today I encountered a good experience, and my belief on GOD or whatever you call strengthened more. Its true whatever you do, will return back to you because KARMA IS A BITCH... Hope you all like it...  Today morning a wonderful experience I had, Though it felt good, trust me for someone it was bad. But what to do KARMA IS A BITCH, It never leaves till to you a lesson it teach. For every single word you speak that hurts other, One day with interest returns back to you and bother. But I am happy that someone is there, Who is ready to give every human their deserving share. Experiences in past had already made me a believer of God, But today I knew that no human is spared from his sword. The saying is true that, as you sow, so shall you reap; Even in a second the fortunes can flip. Don't hurt someone who's poor due to your present high status, Because even from the mud, someday blooms a lotus. For people who think nothing bad can happ...

KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

Knowledge and wisdom. Just like 2 sides of the same coin.  Some feel knowledge is more important while for a few others, wisdom goes a long way. In my opinion, though, they both contribute more or less equally to a person's life. Yes, there are exceptions; a lot of exceptions. Still, I believe, with growth, with new generations coming in, both will play equal roles. During the beginning, knowledge surely has a greater role to play, but with age, wisdom and experiences are things that shall also matter a lot.  Now, knowledge and wisdom both grow with every new generation that impends on this planet. While the baggage of knowledge grows more as compared to wisdom because of the sheer amount of new technologies and inventions/discoveries that add up to the existing knowledge tree, wisdom is more subtle. Wisdom cannot be gained by surfing the internet, reading news articles, or on google. To develop wisdom, more creative approaches are required. Wisdom gets transferred from one ge...

AN ODE TO SOLDIERS...

This post is purely an emotional one as I dedicate this to all our soldiers for whom we are safe and living a carefree life... THANKS SOLDIERS for protecting our country and us...  Hope you all like this post... I was dozing off the bed when something caught my attention, Two soldiers were killed while protecting our nation. I felt very bad and anger engulfed my soul, I wanted those terrorists to be hanged on some electric pole. I tried to sleep but was disturbed by the news, I was done by those hi-status peoples' views. Enough has been said on this very topic, But what people do except sharing some pics?? On social media all keep on shouting, Some speak in favor while others start fighting. I love my India and the people protecting it, I am no one to question them as I am not that fit. I know for me waking safely after every night, Someone is ready to give up his life and fight. I know if I am able to walk and drive without any ...
