The time is passing by and days are flying very soon.
I have just realized that it’s been a year that I have been into the
professional life. Dude, we have grown up a year elder very soon I guess. It
was just like a day back I was bunking the college and paying attention in the
world called “Student”. And now been called a Man. Am I not dreaming? The days
were went in struggling with the books and surviving for a marks to pass out in
the examination and the days I had to keep my hand on my pocket whether I would
survive and live lavish life with sort of money? Would I be able to tell my
crush about how I feel for her? Could I take her to date? Ehhh… The day we had
been partying with friends and keeping fear in mind of parents for not coming
late home. We were not waiting for any weekend or any kind of off day to make
any plans. We were not making any plans to cherish our moments but we were
making plans to print these images in our life. We had time but running out of
money. But still we managed our self to survive with the Royal Facility. ;)
We
were getting mad on each and every thing. Whether it is about a crush or late
night party or night out or simple a meeting with friends. Before we bolt for
the exit door of the problems while now we stand their ground and solve it. Those
days, the responsibilities, problems, burdens were far away from our life. We
were more in the area of interest of being called “Boyfriend/Girlfriend”. Though
our life was messed up with very poor problems, we were reacting like we are
under the burden of problems. We easily found out the way to escape. Because we
had always been into that area to make our right impact on everyone. We were in
a race to drag our self into the top no matter how slow we are! We always
wanted to defeat other people with our capabilities or comforts no matter
whether with a right or wrong way. We were in a phase where we could not see
our drawbacks but with our strength we wanted to grab everything which we liked.
We were hurry in increasing the number of friends in d real and reel life too.
In fact, it's a question that's been asked since
time immemorial. What separates the men from the boys? From being a
Professional man to students. Since
I have realized I have been a year elder, I’d asked myself “Have I really lost something?”
That time I couldn’t speak. But got many unwanted answers from eyes and
shrugged lips. I guess my wet eyes and rolling down ears on cheeks have told me
enough what I have gained and lost. I guess nothing has been changed. But the
only thing is that our mind has grown. We are still d same in the body of boy
but having a mind and gesture like a man.
Being
a man isn’t just about crossing a certain age or looking a certain way. It’s a
lot more. Age doesn’t restrict us but our maturity level restricts us from
allowing some stuff. The world
has a lot of cheeky, noisy, reckless boys but what we need are more
responsible, composed men. We
build up the responsibility of social and professional life. Now we get a title
called a ‘Man’. We care for our self and have an effortless way of being the
center of attention without even trying. Being a boy we were trying to get
flustered in the face of adversity and now being a man we are confident enough
to overcome. Problems stop being problems and become challenges now. We are so
much busy with our life that we are dying to see the weekend. Everybody runs
after making money. Sometime they actually forget how and who they were. Their
passion and hobbies become just a dream to make it true. We have everything.
Friends. Money. But lack of time. Before we always tried to hold the hand of
victory, and now don’t care about pretty victories or power games, we do care
about the real things. We are hoping for the best and prepare for the worst as
well. We are in the phase of maintain the relation rather than developing. We treat woman/girl right and give them the care
they deserve. Our ego takes a back-seat and true personality comes to the fore.
The term like a “Constructive criticism” makes sense and confidence becomes
more than just a 10 words.
We
have become the director of our film named Life and trying out to give the best
shot with no retake and debut our self as a lead role throughout the years and
life. We hardly get a day off from the work and responsibilities and the
bunking word becomes a past word. We are filled with the mobile balance but unfilled
with time.
And at the end we realize awaking up till 2am for no
reason is better than working till 8pm and sleep at 10; running out of time
from the lectures is much better or relived than running out of dead line of
work; reaching late in period is much better than reaching late home from work;
having 200 bucks in pocket and going to fascinate as a king is much better than
having 2000 bucks and to screw your self-up sitting in front of the computer;
Taking stress of completing assignments is much better than completing
presentation/reports.
When we look back, everything seems to be changed. Time,
bond, priority, behavior, goals, relation. We wanted to jump back into that
life with craziness, but get failed. And might not know whether we are on the right
track or wrong but we start hating less and loving more. Our main focus has
become a life. A life … to spend a life with a life partner. And once the seas
of your soul have calmed down, you turn up a much happier, soother and sorted
human being.
