Turning 27, The Pace Of Life & the Lack of It

7 Sep 2009

When I was young….. and the story is over, I am just contemplating on how years just passed by, just a few years ago when I was 22 I bought my own house, a palace (small one) that I don’t live in (because I am not in India), but I have attachments with because I bought it with my own hard earned money, I was so happy that I still term it as my biggest achievement.

My Heart and Soul, the Cat and Mouse Game

Yet days have passed, so have months and years, and over all of them I have found a pinnacle of support, my driving force, my girlfriend, who if you would have known me and seen me back then would not have been a reality, but she is someone I truly love and do it from the bottom of my heart and whom I truly adore for everything, albeit in a way that only I know, she is my driving force in everything I do.

The achievement have just grown over time, I came up from being a no-one when I was 18 years old to someone who many know now, and many who knew when I was 18 would never have envisioned me to turn up as, and yet I don’t want to be famous.

I have tantrums, I have issues, I have achievements, I have success, I have many of the things that many would not dream at my age, but that is the pace of life.

Life gives you two options, either you choose how others want you to pace yourself, or you choose how you want to pace yourself (that is one of the reasons I never attended college, and I don’t ask you to do the same), however if you choose to do things yourself make sure you know what you want to do before doing it, life can take you for a ride and then drop you down at a place you never want to be, it is how you rise from there and take steps towards taking a ride back with life again towards where you wanted to go is all that matters.

Today I have done things I could not have imagined few years ago, and for that matter all my life, I never dreamt of being able to do what I am able to do today, I just rode life, fell down, picked myself back up again and rode life again, bumped again, got up again and rode life again.

It has been up and down, but that does not mean that I will leave a bumpy ride just because I wanted a easier way out, I am a tough bastard, but yes I am not successful yet, I have lots of bumpy rides to ride, and I know I will fall down whenever I get near, but that will help me ride the tides and get to where I want to.

I am turning 27 and looking back at life, I am really glad I am, because back in the years I did not even think about turning 27, heck I did not even want to grow older than 18, but that is life, it does not stop on you, it grows, and unless you have the urge to grow with it you will never catch up with it, catch up with your life and live it right now.

I am on a second life right now after 18, after 23 and now soon to be 27, I love you Jammu, whatever I did not do for you, I will do it all over again, I am going to ride life back again and come back with something that will be the best, love you so much.

Looking forward to being 27 again and again .
