Life is getting older

I know life isn't going to be the same anymore.

You know it when even Shankar Mahadevan says that IIM-B students are some of the sharpest(implying we are born to make a difference to this world and we better get cracking).

You know it when your college friend's mother offers to speak to my mother about the 'Right Girl' for me because it is 'time' for me to leave being single.

But, on a more serious note, I feel life has changed. All this while, life was programmed, everything happened as expected - you either had a good day or a bad day, they never came together. Everything was going as per a plan and probably life like joker[Hail Heath Ledger and Christopher Nolan], decided to introduce a little anarchy.

Some of the last few months have been tough and happy. Parents down with a viral fever, a new member added to the family in US, my grandfather not being with me anymore[the man who made a 'Brahman'], better grades in college, failure in competition, tremendous mental agony followed by moments of joy.

Probably, this is what life getting old is all about - Testing you differently. Teaches you what it is good and bad first, learn to distinguish between them. Then, takes the test to the next level by throwing them alternately seeing if you can still separate them. I expect it to finally cloud one in another and see if I can remove the peel or mask and find the good/bad.

My Aim in this exercise - while life is getting older, my objective is how young can I remain.
Another lesson - There is no good or bad. Bad is Good because Bad is needed for you to become good.

Standard P.S - I am sure you have noted the change in formatting. If you like it, let me know.
