When You Are 30





When you are at 30, you realize that you have already built up your own choices,
When you are at 30, you realize that you have your own preferences, set of beliefs,
When you are at 30, you probably are very sure how you want to live the rest of your life,
That''s because you probably have spent the 29 years of life either experimenting, or,
Have taken so many risks that now you know exactly how things work with you.
At 30, you tend to enjoy more the real things rather than the artificial ones,
At 30, you probably enjoy more at the houseparties and not at pubs,
At 30, that rebellious teenager inside you vanishes and now you probably
Try to observe more and understand better your parents,
Thats because you know some day later in your life you would be in their place.
At 30, when you look around you suddenly find you are no more wearing the latest trendy clothes
You would find several younger people wearing far better fashionable clothes
Thats because now you try to wear comfortable clothes and there is no more that sense of keeping up with the latest trends works with you.
At 30, you tend to converse more about investments and career progression with your friends
Rather than latest movies or about film actors, you are actually more focussed in your own life.
30 is not the end of youth neither the beginning of old age phase
Rather it is the time when you give a pause to your life,
Rewind, look back and can smile and say to yourself
"Yes have lived the life, learnt so much, now its time to implement those".
At 30, life is not fast paced, rather more sorted as compared to your teenage stage.
So cheers to all those who are entering 30 or would be entering this another phase of life!

Barriers that we create

Dear Readers, It's been quite sometime that I have not been able to blog. There were too many things going on - workfront, my Mom's health not keeping well etc. Now that all these are sorted, thought of resuming my blogging again. Just few days ago, when my maid asked me for a glass of water, I was looking for the designated glass which I usually give her and others who help us in our daily household work. Just then I realised something - I am unknowingly following the same norm which I have seen in my childhood days at home. I have seen my Mom, my Grandmom using separate dishes and glasses for the maids. For the guests of the house, seperate kind of crockery set was used but the difference between the dishes for maid and for the guests was the quality of the plates. The guests were given higher quality material plates, the family would use the basic material plates (steel at that time) and the maids would get aluminium or old steel plates. I immediately stopped searching for m...

Insecurity

 Dear Readers, Have you ever felt insecure at any point of time? You must be laughing at my question thinking isn't feeling insecure the most common thing! Well it is. As a child my biggest insecurity was my gender. I always wanted to be a boy, I despised the fact that God has made me a girl. My thoughts started from the day when my father bought a bicycle for my younger brother - the cycle which I wanted to ride! When I asked my parents why I was never given a cycle, their reply was you are a girl, you are delicate, what if while cycling you fall and get bruises or if major injury happens! From that day I started noticing this issue - the issue of being a "girl". Several times I had heard my relatives telling my parents - "Thank God you have been blessed with a son, else who would have looked after you in your old age or who would have carried forward your family!"  As a child I kept on exploring this zone and asked myself several times what is the thing which ...

Back to Kolkata

Image
  Dear Readers, It's been long time. I couldnt write blog as I was shifting from Mumbai. And, yes I am back to Kolkata after 5 long years! Initially, I was apprehensive about the shift because of many reasons. I was not sure if we would be getting the same facilities like those in Mumbai. Not only lifestyle and availability of things, several things are different here - medical facilities, education system, people & their thought process. But today when I see my daughter is playing happily with my parents who have so many grey hairs, wrinkled skin - I feel this shift was the need of the hour. After returning back I suddenly felt how much old my parents have grown and how much sense of security or strength they get after seeing me living close by in the same city. I never understood their thought process till I became a parent myself. When I think about my future now I foresee doing things together with my daughter, I want to live close to her not because I want to control he...
