Aging My Way

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...
