The older I get !

-

This is not a motivational story…whatever it is …this is it ! 


Don’t you get weird ideas now ….I don’t mean that we are old guys….for sure !..I just want to say that our age is the number of years , the world has been enjoying us ..! hahahahaha

Whole life we’ve been doing stupid things…and I am not getting worried about being a little older…you know ? …ummm…I still get to do stupid things…but only slower…! hahahaha


I don’t lie about my age…not anymore …I am 47 and am proud of the fact that I am this age…People call me middle aged …but that’s Ok…how many of us know people who are 115 years old ?

When I was young , I was called being very rugged…Today, when I am about to reach fifty , I am considered eccentric. .Actually I am doing and saying the same things ….hahahha…yaaaa…it happens to us all the time !


One thing I learnt about getting older…you know ….that when we were young, we didn’t have stories…we would fumble with words and there were no such thing as telling a tale …Now , we’ve got thousands of long anecdotes , to share…and people love them !

It’s like we’ve always been a teenager….Yes…we are not old, but a bunch of recycled teenagers….that’s what we are .! hahahaha


I’ve often heard my children talk about old guys ….you know….I listen to them and walk away…..lately I realized , that when someone in their 20s talks about old people….? …Are they talking about us..?  NO !

You know what’s funny about getting a bit older …? ..I wear specs to read and write ….that’s not funny…but the funny part is even though your eyesight may weaken , you can see through people much better ….!...Well…that’s an advantage ..!


But I don’t let myself down a wee bit …you know ?....It’s too hard to get , back up..!

Yeah…these days when we friends meet up….we don’t discuss what we do…we discuss how old we’ve got ! hahahahaha


I think we are all lucky …..for we’ve grown older…no ? We’ve survived so much bad lucks …that now there’s no such thing as good or bad lucks …! Karma….guys….Karma….! hahahaha

One thing I’ve learnt as I get older , is to give….no…no…no…not because I have much….but because I know exactly how it feels to have nothing….you know…!


Our journey’s been a whole lot of baggage for us….right ?...let’s not be weighed down by this baggage….Let us let go and allow ourselves to embrace what is waiting for, right at our feets….!


Phew….!!  Sometimes I wonder …how did I get this right …..! hahahaha


Cheers to a new us and for an another chance…..for us to get it right !

"The Writer's Block"

-
  A   friend recently took me aside and made a point. He was not worried about how I would react. I was nervous too. Of what he would say to me.. Then he made a point …… He asked me to continue writing . He asked me why I had stopped publishing what I used to do before. People out there are looking forward to what I write….Now he wanted me to get going and write… This has prompted me to write and publish again what I lost and missed…. To hell with the ‘Writer’s Block’. When I listened to him that day, I understood that Writer’s Block was not the problem.. The problem laid in ‘not writing anything at all’ ! What I understand is that the only people who think writing is easy are those people who don’t write at all !   No ? The ‘writers block ‘ is not the problem here. It is the fear of not writing well. I am not here for an award or an accolade, I am here because I write and somehow I stopped in between. My audiences here today, may seem a little surprised……but that’s...

The Heart story

-
  Everybody knows now ….. today , it’s an old story..!.. But concerned people still ask me how I feel and how I am faring with my health …….. I’ve been deliberately taking some time   out here…..you know ?.....giving me some space….. giving myself , that much needed ‘ME ‘ time…. I exercised right ….I ate right ….no cheating foods in between hours….my colleagues at office can vouch for me….no oil , no much sweet , no much sour or hot things…. Then why did I get that stroke , when I got one ? You know , I’ve read it somewhere …… that having an Heart Attack is like a surprise party… where , except for presents , you get an ambulance ride ….! Hahahahaha.. I guess , my heart couldn’t handle all the excitement in my life ….ummmm….too many of them ……It was time to switch to a boring routine……..! It had me boggled over and over again…..Why me ? Why ….after all these years ……….I smoked ….all right ! But then last time I checked ( you know where )   …..….my lungs were clear a...

Other Words !

  After some good days ….more news from the planet ! The red hot Sun is turning into dark red and thus spoiling the get-togethers we usually have from 10:00 Am to 7:00 PM……no ? Is it out of context ?…..Yeah….I know ….this is not me……how do I convert myself from a boring article writer to what’s happening at the core of our planet ?    Not me ! Boring ….yeah….getting older , day by day ..ummm….actually I don’t mind getting older ….you know !...but my body is taking it badly….hahahahahaha….! You feel like your warranty has expired and the parts are beginning to wear out ! I was reading a story on Jesse Owens and how he defeated the German athlete Luz Long at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. Hitler was mad at Long , but he bowed down to Jesse and congratulated him in full view of the crowd. Luz Long and Jesse became best friends and when WW2 started , Long wrote a letter to Jesse from the war front. He wrote “ ( paraphrased by me ) I want to meet my wife. I have not seen my...
