My friend's
twitter post "35 and rocking" reminded me of the fact that next month I
will be 36. It just seems like yesterday that I was in college and my biggest
worry in life was the assignment at hand.
Some people I know, tell me that "umar ka lihaaz karo" (consider your age before you do
things) and stop wearing superhero/cartoon print tee shirts, stop watching
cartoons and most definitely stop wasting money on graphic novels and other memorabilia...
I don't know how to act my age,
honestly I have never been 35 until this year, and while I get used to the fact
that I am 35, I will become 36 and the cycle will start again.
People have midlife crisis, I have
identity crisis. How can I change who I am just because I am older and the most
important question is Why Should I?
While I am trying to say I want to
remain unchanged, I am definitely NOT comparing myself to a 20 year old because
their exuberance kills me at times.
I am a 35 year old, grumpy,
graphic-novel-reading, weird-tee-wearing, cartoon-watching, potty-mouthed
person and will NOT change...
