“You are Grown Up!!” Eeee… Really!!


I must say that this is the sentence that most teenagers must be hearing from their elders. And it’s the worst part I must say. I mean who actually like to grow up. I could look back and have no regrets. All these years when we were small we used to think that what kind of things we would do when we would actually grow up!! We all painted a picture in our head and dreamt of becoming something or the other. But the actual reality seems so different. There comes a great amount of responsibility; we are expected to show certain kind of attitude. I hate all these things. Common think of a world from the point of view of a child. Don’t you miss all those cartoons show? Instead of continuously watching news. Don’t you miss playing with society friends? Instead of discussing studies and careers with your colleagues. I truly believe that an individual should always carry some madness in his/her life because that’s the only thing that can keep one’s innocence alive. It is said that “Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional”. I always think that the world of a child is colorful filled with innocence and joy. People pinching our cheeks, giving kisses etc. it was all fun.


Indeed, growing up has it perks but it’s not an easy job. As a child you have always been in your friendly rather comfort zone and suddenly when you are near your twenties it won’t be the same. Situations against you will grow. You will feel frustrated. You will feel alone. But that’s how you and I must learn. From experiences. Obviously we cannot stop it. We didn’t even realize the journey we have been through, we were just living.  But memories are with us forever. To teach us, to remind us. To show us that growing is a part of life.


Above all even if you all are coming in your twenties, don’t shy to do little mad things u did. Like jumping up on bed, licking your favorite ice-cream, all the silliness and goofiness. Don’t let the child inside you die.

  2. Growing up is a fact of life. But, how one looks at the process of growing up is important. I agree, one need not grow with stress and pressure on one's self and unwarranted excessive maturity. One has to scale up with sense of responsibility keeping gradual progress. At the same time, under the guise of growing up and losing childhood, one can not escape also.

Good Morning Ma’am!

“A week in Mumbai”; with this shock I confronted myself. 3 rd outstation in 3 rd year of Internship. And yes I was the senior of two of us going for the office trip. A part of me was excited and a part of me tensed. And there was responsibility on me. The 1 st one probably to catch train on time, followed by reaching the right destination. Finding a lesser known destination is toughest in Mumbai. The time came. My train was scheduled at 10. Things were going on right! And I arrived on time despite the not-at-all expected rains in the month of May in Ahmedabad. But to my relief because of the rains the weather turned so good. And the journey started. Upper berth and book to provide me comfort, with cell phone; enough for whole night. Only a few more hours until I was there. The night passed by with hardly 3 hours of sleep and the station arrived. I was half dead by then with 8 hours of journey. Finding transportation is not a difficult task in Mumbai even at wee hours. The city...

White Walls

I still stand staring at those white walls, They say it did not depict any color at all How could I explain what I saw! Years had passed, but memories were still raw There was so much to it on another side, Surreal it felt, felt like rules I had to abide Relations I nurtured and cared became sour, I knew it ended even if I tried until last hour! Now that the wall was built to separate, That day I knew it was time to regret Everything felt apart, realized it was my mistake, I only wished if Life could give me a retake. I still think about trying all the ways, Even where every deed of mine turned grey That name will be swept away by another windfall, But I will still stand staring at those white walls!                                          ...

Titleless

When you feel trapped inside and all doors get closed, Everything moves against the direction you supposed! When life loses faith and brings despair, Even a best friend's voice cannot repair When the journey you begin seems so far, For other it ended and you aren't still at par When the clouds of darkness surround your head, You know deep down enough is being said When your dreams you feel are too high, You want to laugh around but you sigh It may seem permanent and force you to give up, That is the time my friend you must cheer up! Don't you think you lost, your time may come soon Believe me, your hard work one day will get opportune. P.S. My first try to writing poems
