I am going to celebrate my 27th b'day within less than 5 days from now... I really don't believe it..me... 27... I sure don't look like a 27 yr old woman.. don't feel like it.. its just a number.. chronologically speaking .. I might be 27..
I really don't care how old I look.. bcoz frankly I haven't looked into the mirror for a long time... and mentally... I am still this pathetic little girl who is not being able to let go off the memories of her mid teen years...
27 yrs.. lets see... 10 yrs ago.. all I wanted was a MA degree... meet someone special.. fall in love.. get married with my parents blessings..move to England...bcoz my husband is working there... have twins.. a boy and a girl... lead a quiet life as a housewife...
Now... I have 2 Post graduate degrees... on my way to the third one... a single, unattached woman... trying really hard to be like that for the rest of my life....
What happened??? in these 10 years.. I would like to say.. lots of things... my personal life, my academic life... everything took this unexpected turn and I am living this life I never planned to have.. and I am happy...infact... more than happy..I am content in my current life...
Upto now whatever my life was.. it turned out to be good for me... I had a few hardships in my personal life... but in the end, it all turned out to be fine...
Now, what am I going to do with the rest of my life?? Well... I have made this bunch of birthday resolutions... things that I want to do before I die... I would like to share some of them with you...
Physical
1) Try out different hairstyles and hair colours
2) Maintain a slim figure.. I mean extremely slim figure.. like I am sick or something...
3) Exercise regularly
4) Play sports like badminton, football, basketball etc
5) Involve in adventure sports
Inshort, do a lot of physical exertion...I know it sounds silly and stupid like me.. but hey.. I am a simple girl who like to do simple things...
Now time to do serious things...
1) Travel the world
2) Become a famous writer
3) Do different kinds of jobs
4) Buy a dream house, car and a dog
5) Keep in touch with all my friends
6) Make new friends around the world
7)Learn a new language every year
8) Live my life the way I want to live... no rules .. no regulations...
9) Try not to forget the people who had made an impact on me...
10)Discover and improvise the skills I have
I know these are cliches'..but..these are only the few.... I have made a huge list of things that I need to do with my life...
I can only hope that I will out perform myself inorder to do all those things...
What have I learned from my past life?? well...
Like every normal human being.. we make plans for our lives... how to live .. what to study ..where to go... where not to go..things like that.. sometimes.. things wont go like the way we planned... we get disappointed..frustrated... think that it is the end of the world... if we are someone who believes in God.. we scold Him for not making things happen in our way...
But what we dont know is that .. God has already set a life for us... which is far better than what we have planned... and only time can prove it... thats why He doesnt reply atonce, when we ask Him "why?"...
I have learnt to be patient...to trust and to believe... I hope the same things for you....
Until we meet again..Believe..that things have its own way of working out... no matter what we do or dont do...
