My Way, My Truth, My Life

I want to be 'set apart'. Different from the crowd. Searching, finding, living. Driven by the purpose I'm created for.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were? Asked Satchel Paige

Hmnn… let me see…

1 when I wake up on a Saturday morning at 10 am and have nothing critical to achieve that day
3 when I’m sick with fever and cold and just need to sleep and be cared for
5 when I see my rose plant’s flowers opening, like I’ve seen it for the 1st time
8 when the people I wanna be friends with, don’t include me in their get togethers
10 when my favourite couple on ‘Nach Baliye’ wins
12 when I’m laughing with friends- like every joke is the funniest one I’ve heard so far
14 when I notice the guy my heartbeat stops for, is looking soooo good in his new shirt
16 when I’m jiving with Selby, still the best jiver in town (wearing his new shirt ;)
18 when I’m standing up for what I believe in- irrespective of what other people think of me
21 when I’m driving and tapping on the steering wheel, to the beat of ‘dhinchak’ music
25 when I look good in a saree
30 when I see so many friends (same chronological age as me) falling in love, getting engaged and married
45 when I’m caring for 73 year old mum and aunt in law’s physical, emotional, mental, spiritual needs
60 when yet another person I care about leaves CRY
80 when I’m so tired of standing for 1 hour and 10 mins in a crowded train, I wonder when the journey’s gonna be done

They say “you are only as old as you think you are” and I think I am 1 and 80 in the same week!
Thank God life is just a temporary assignment!

    Wow! So true...Never thought of it that way. Who is Satchel Paige btw?
    I feel 12 now, when I'm young enough to be inspired by your thoughts and old enough to 'get' it!
