Old.. yet young..

Life moves on so slowly as we feel it, each day with its own 24 hours to chew up and each hour with its share of minutes and seconds and micro seconds... Yet when we look back all of it seems so quick, running away of our hands... Just like the snapping of a finger... Simply slipping by with out even our realizing...

It wasn't long back when I had cried on my 25th birthday .. simply because my father was to leave me and go out of town... It wasn't to far away when I had coloured my hair hot red... It doesn't seem to far away when every "youth" organization was something I could relate to ... It doesn't seem too far away when all of us together could simply stand and gape at handsome young prospective men... It doesn't seem to far away when i was young...

Yet i feel too old today, yet i dread the number 30 approaching too soon. Yet i see my son growing by the minute..

I still colour my hair... but now its burgundy to keep the grey away, all the youth organizations I relate to is probably because my young friends are members... We still stand and gape at the handsome ones, but they are not men anymore, its the other young kinds my son happens to play with...

If you look at the number of grey hair that I have managed to possess... and the number of stretch marks on my tummy, then yes I have definitely grown old.. Old enough to understand responsibility, old enough to put others before me, old enough to save to buy for a home... Old enough to become a ma...

But somehow it is beautiful at this side of the age as well.. It is lovely to get a warm hug from my toddler when I enter home from work, it is lovely to cuddle right beside the one you love, into bed... it is lovely to share some romantic pictures.. Its amazing to get dead tired and sleep at night... it is fun to steal time to read while visiting the lavatory... It is beautiful to see your little angel sleep in the center of the bed with his lengs on your face...

It is lovely .. Life is so beautiful.. rather all the more beautiful at this side....
