The 50th..Guy!

-

 

Somebody told me to just take it easy with everything……and stop telling what’s going on in my life !

But I had to do this …..!  because this is not only working for me …..it is for all of us who feels the same thing and nobody to talk to !


Entering the threshold of 50 years , I have to take it easy now....Starting 50 , I don’t feel a thing.. People who’ve crossed 50 or just reached there and reading this today, would understand the importance……..ummmmm….or not so important !

At 50 ……I’m still hot …..have you seen a Flash Gun ?.....yeah….that hot…..in flashes ! hahahahahaha


This is that age, when you feel that even an half an hour movie needs an interval……well……some age….

While some might disagree with me…..for age is just a number……why don’t you ask your muscles and bones then ?......do they feel 25 ?

Mocking myself , I guess I have to live another 50 years …..to get that 2nd Heart attack now ?hahahaha.


I was so excited when I turned 5 ….you know ?.....errrrrr……some memory……today , turning 50 , I don’t remember a darn thing of yesterday….!......A glitch perhaps ….!

I heard somewhere , that life begins at 50…but having said that , everything else starts to wear out …fall out or just spread out …..no ?


Cheers to 50 Years !  I am almost grown up !  hahahahaha….!

Now , as I am growing up ……don’t be surprised if I suddenly do a desperate attempt to appear sexy , youthful and important .


You know what ?.......I was always and often told in my youth days …….you’ll see when you turn fifty……hmmmmmm…..apparently , I have turned fifty and well……..I haven’t seen a thing !...hahahahaha.

Growing up , I discovered some truly amazing points to size up and express the positive aspects of advancing years ….


People still call me young , for my age…..I have a colleague who just turned 51….and he looks like he is going to retire next month. Most people don’t grow up.....They just age ….Trust me , the benefits I have , this age are wonderous ……..I automatically find a parking space ….People don’t brawl with me…..I find a lot of space to walk….( people just give way )……phewwwww……..

Looking at my face , you wouldn’t tell if I have aged this much so far….I just want to be loyal to my face I’ve made !


There are a lot of crevices in life here and there ….you know ?  Things just fall in and you can’t reach them to pull them back out !..I have an option here ….Either I sit next to them and weep it out ….or get up and move forward..!

I really need to stop worrying about who’s not here and start worrying about who is !


The thing about old friends is not that they love you …but that they know you ! They look at you and don’t really think that you look older or faded away. It’s because they’ve grown old along with you….so they’re used to the look….

And then one of them is gone…and you’ve lost a chunk of yourself !  I was on the verge….I say..


In one sense , I am still a kid …but a kid with enough years on me to know that every day is priceless.

Nowadays , I don’t want a perfect face or a body – I want to wear the life I’ve lived..


“ When I grow up I want to be an old man !”

"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...
