Isn't it just a NUMBER!!!

Age? Have I heard it right? I would want to give this age stuff  a food for thought. What is the fuss all about?
It seems to be all normal and happy going with the number twenty. Come thirty and there starts the slight panic button and forty-all hell breaks loose. May be it works differently for both the genders. For men, life can start at forty and for women it can either start or cease.

In today’s times, looking at the way things have changed everyone is into tricking their bodies to look young and hide that age. As if, it is a taboo or maybe a concept of looking young forever. This age thing too is tweaked and has its side of hypocrisy.

This so-called age does not come in the way when one gets into a relationship or has to achieve goals in life or starts to live life all over again. It becomes a number and nothing more than that. This age becomes an inspiration and an example for others to follow. It becomes a source of positive and courage. 
On the other side, it fails when one has to come to terms with the same number and reveal it. There is so much denial. There is a race to hide it, rather reverse it.

With so much help and methods available in today’s world, it seems to be more evident and a must factor to look young rather than feel young. There comes the rescue...age reversal materials available that makes one look younger from the outside.

Maybe age is starting to understand all of this and is getting to behave the human way. No soon does it get in touch with the personal self it starts looking out to hide and not come up openly. May be it knows it will perish someday or does not want to encounter the D-day. It knows for sure the clock is ticking and wants to keep others at bay from getting closer. It wants to hide from the entire universe escape the universal clock. It wants to reverse the clock somehow.

Nevertheless, how about the inner age? A known fact is-To be young is a gift. It is more so when one feels young in heart and soul. The inner age grows in number day by day and one cannot dupe it. It will go wiser and older in time and will know the worth. It knows the time to come and the ones cherished and lost

The inner self-age knows it all and comes as a true saviour of the show-off age. It taps the outer one, and gently reminds of the changing times and how one has grown with it. The manner it has groomed to have its own individuality with unmatched thoughts and ideas. The growth starts to mature. The timed age starts growing gracefully.


Then, there comes a phase, wherein the age on the outside puts an end to all the glitter around. It finally stays stop... Let us re-live and breathe. At such a phase, it just seems like a number and nothing more than that. In addition, when one encounters it, accepts it with open arms by all means, one just says -WOW... isn’t it just a NUMBER!

WOMAN-THY NAME.....

Strong as a rock, emotions running deep as the ocean, patience of a saint, sweet as nectar, innocence that of a child, Mysterious like the universe, thoughtful and wise like a preacher, at the same time furious like the fire, anger like the volcano but above all someone who stands against all odds...This is no one but a WOMAN. As I was passing by I heard someone ask. Do we really need a special Day to celebrate for Women? I t can be taken in 2 ways. One—Maybe because she is special always OR in a note so positive form—Like Why do we need a special day for her? Don’t we already have so many days to celebrate?? Well, my take is...we have valentine’s day for people to express love –rather people who love each other, we have mother’s day, father’s day, May day so on and so forth. But, they are categorized for either a section of people OR for certain relationships.  I feel, Woman's day is a day that acknowledges the female gender, as a whole, irrespective of age, nation

1996-A Summer Afternoon

It was a summer afternoon. I was going through my college photographs, wishing those days were back and time would just stop there. How Nostalgic...The mere thought of it would bring an instant smile on my face. I was lost in thought when I recollected one of those adventurous trips that we had on one such summer afternoon. We friends would love to explore different places during our graduation.Those were fun filled days..no stress, no tension (except exams and project completion not to deny). Those were the days when we just wanted to be in the open...with nature...Do what we feel is right and just not bothered about the rest of the world. As said by someone time doesn't wait for anyone and does not come back. We set off to a nearby place at first.This is in the southern state of India with its mystic beauty and full of valleys and greenery.A sight that would take any one's breath away...On the way back..we found a fishery.They would breed fish there.We thought of explo

It was just another dull, ordinary day.. a more or less a routine.. where one is programmed oneself and knows which task precedes the other… On such days we often feel there would be something exciting happening in our lives..  at least for a few minute. Maybe this was the day…. I stepped into office thinking the tasks to be completed and anticipating more tasks that would be piled up for that day…. Everything seemed normal as always…people greeted each other in between work. Some working seriously and while some were on a short break as they had arrived before our batch started working.. in shifts(night). no one knew what was in store ahead of us…we were planning the day’s work…I, as usual, switched on my PC and logged in. checked my inbox for a few new emails…. It was passed 1:00 a.m in the morning where one lives like they are on the other side of the globe. It was later then that I resumed my work…Was doing some updating of the work done before when the writer struc
