Recycled Teenagers !

-

 

After all those  “ Bade Bacche “  gyan ……I am back !

Looking for an inspiration to write this article , I came across people…..errrr….my younger colleagues in office ……most of them  between 21 to 30……running around in circles ….wondering what hit them , at this age …! Hahahahahaha


Coming up to my age ….looking at them …they are either my best friends or the devil’s designate……….   honest here !  hmmmmm

Thought , then let me be one !....Now …..now ……we are not so old…..are we …?.....We are “recycled teenagers “

We are the ‘senior adult group’…..but I don’t like the way they call me a senior ……..you know ?.....ummmmm….I don’t certainly act my age ….that is …!


That’s who we are …..!  The difference is that we’ve had so many more experiences than we did when we were teenagers , the first time around…..We have this …ummmmm.. the first-hand knowledge of so many things that allow us to enjoy the second phase so much more …!

What to wear ?  Why , whatever I want ! No fashion dictates any longer ……no peer pressure ……right ?

I don’t need to ask for the car now ..……hey…it’s mine ….…and it takes me where I want to …that’s the job of the car…! Hahahahaha


At the mall…..I often meet my soul-mates, my counterparts..…..Ok……..aimlessly looking at the ceiling , while their wives and children do all the shoppings……. Shopping….hmmmmm……ripped jeans -----come on now …..paying a lot for torn clothes ….!...hahahahahaha


I’ve seen my son giggle , whenever I count with my fingers……he exclaims right back ….. “ why don’t you do it in your mind ?” …….  “ Well , I tried …… but you always get on my nerves..”..hahahahaha…….hmmmmm…..never mind that !


I remember , when my friends and me …..used to bunk and go watch movies……all we feared were our grades…you know …..?....today , most of them are looking for true loves and dealing with heartbreaks….

With no offence , sometimes , the movies we watch has ‘A’ ratings…..A for Adults …..Come to think of it , the language used in these films are often gross and abusive ………used by { you know whom } today……guess…they should change the ratings to ‘T’………hahahahahaha.

Yes….we are recycled teenagers …and we are still looking at our grades..!


This is my own article …….but edited by my closest acquaintances……. The difference here is , there is no “ own article” of the GenX , only cut-throat editings…..!  How  depressing !


We are often frustrated these days …… but there’s a lot of energy left , lot of…...ummmm….positive , effective , unstoppable  determination ……We’ve done it before and we can do it now !

We’ve been to the 1970s , the 80s, the 90s through 2023……  we’ve made it guys …..but I can’t wait to see if our kids , if put through the 1980s to the 90s can make it or not ……!

There’s a lot of nuts to crack there ……..! hahahahaha


Looking at our parents , we couldn’t wait to grow up….right ?.....today , we just want to go back to that life …..Wonder , what the hell were we thinking then ?........


It’s rough being a teenager in this day and age …..!


Glad , I am recycled !

"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...
