When shall I grow up?When shall I have all the freedom in the world to do anything and everything?


Aren't these typical questions so familiar? I mean everyone of us have asked this question at some point of our childhood.Even I had these questions in my mind. And now that I am a grown up (legally I mean), I was under the illusion that oh life would now be a really enjoyable and pleasant experience.

Oh how untrue was my thought.How much mistaken was I..
Different day to day experiences have rudely shaken me to reality.
Now I sit and wonder and appreciate the wonderful years gone by. Childhood was so much fun. Except a few tests and results in school,there was nothing to worry at all.Life was what I wanted it to be. I had the company of a wonderful family and fantastic friends who never made me feel alone and lonely.But gradually as I have now grown up,I realise that everyone's so busy.Now we don't have the time to be with each other.
Most of my friends have gone out of the city for acdemics and job. This will be the first time that only 3 of us will go pandal hopping. And what's worse is that this will be the last time that I'll be going pandal hopping with friends.And so even when the entire city is rejoicing at the onset of the festive season, I'm unhappy.

 Now there's so much more to worry about. Career plans, health of family members, friends moving out
