Quarter Life Crisis

whenever you are writing a blog, after completion of it you have to put your mind to find a title for it; A Title which can justify the central theme of the blog. But this blog has a different story.  I heard the word “quarter life crisis” and I find this word so interesting and meaningful that I decided that someday I will write a blog making it as a central theme.

So quarter life means you have entered in to 25-30 year age group. You have spent a considerable amount on planet earth. Here word “crisis” means what are the problems and issues you hav to deal with after coming into this club.

You have crossed your teen age so now it’s time to wake up and come out of your fancy world. Now suddenly things will start change around you.  Your habit of going for job interviews by air or by sleeper will be converted in to “general in any train”. Some of the low ranker’s of your college must have got good govt jobs and will be one reason for your low RBC count.  All your dreams of first job will be replaced by “nightmare of job changes”. By now you have understood that there is nothing like dream job in this world. A good pocket money will be converted in to poor salary. Cold drinks will be replaced by hot drinks. A college life’s earning of six pack will be transforming in to a belly and always reminds you of its existence whenever you are hugging somebody.  All your “who-will-become what-someday” will convert in to “who-finally-became-what” talks. All your crushes must be married by now.  Your philosophy of love will be reduced to sex and your expectation of a high standard girlfriend will be replaced with “every girl is beautiful” thinking.

Suddenly people will start expecting “things” from you.  You will lost all the privileges of grown up’s. You will be more interested in news and stock markets then WWE and IPL. You will constantly hear “behave like this””behave like that” lectures. On every marriage celebration some of your aunties will pull your cheeks and say “you are next”. In relations, from somebody’ brother you will be somebody’s uncle, maternal uncle etc.

You will fall under one of the three categories: married, about to marry and thinking when I will marry. In any of the category you have extra responsibility to understand what your future partner will think about you and you have to like (or pretend) whatever he/she like. Except few old friends, now you’re frequently contact list will be reduced to ticket agent, brokers, passport agents etc.

In theatres you can’t shout or whistle (as it is against your age). You can’t fight with anybody or use abuse words as you suppose to be samajhdar now.  Considering all your previous acts, you will have developed an image by now and doesn’t matter what you are doing people will see that image only. With little bit experience of life you will consider yourself a philosopher and from visiting social networking sites, you will start writing blogs.    

PS: from quite some time I was writing serious blogs so I have decided to switch gears with this blog. This blog is no offence to anybody or anything. It’s written in good feelings.
