Feel so grown-up and old these days... Been feelin so for quite sometime.
Just this afternoon , it started raining real hard..without a warning.U know those kinds ...which just pour , dont even drizzle, when u fear that u r caught in a cloudburst or somethin ? We all were huddled in the mess , sipping hot tea and praying that it stops raining soon , so that we make it to the next class without bothering to open our umbrellas (U know , u keep the umbrellas outside the classroom to dry , and when the class gets over , u discover that ur new pink polka-dotted umbrella is replaced with a disgusting black one instead ... umm .. on second thoughts I would prefer a staid black one instead of my awfully bright pink one). A few of the guys just step out in the rain in that Shahrukh Khan-ish style , u know with arms outstretched and a that slow wannabe walk and heads tilted towards the sky with that "yeah-I-like-that-gimme-more" look and a lopsided hey-look-im-so-kewl (ewww!!!) grin on their faces. A few minutes passed and all those supposedly 'kewl' antics got washed away and all u had was a bunch of 24-25 year olds, jumping about in the puddles , huddling together , falling over each other , gyrating in awful dance moves...
And all I could think of was "Eeeks , what the hell are they doing .. Its all so Juvenile ".
A coupla years ago I might have been in that motley group myself , doing the same thing that made me scrunch up my nose now.
Perhaps someday Ill sit down n make a
Before / After list of the things I did (maybe still do) and see the stark differences in the two.
What`s changed this drastically in me ? Or is it that Ive actually grown old for some things ??
