Why does the old always look good and the new also looks good. Hump!. I mean the old is gold but new also is nice. This sounds fine.Time flies. Where to. We needn't stopover to complaint on that.
Amidst discussion with my best pal Shehnaz over our adding on years & kilos, the expected hair greying soon, etc etc, we decided who cares. Life starts after 30 Sush, I am no more in number game she said. Alright. The idea of writing this, thus flashed into the frame of my mind.
Shes the friend with whom I solved loads of crosswords of the last page of "Women's Era", [check out this one] between free hours of our work. Shes the one with whom I chatted hours without full stop or comma ....laughed over silly things too. This post is dedicated to you Shehnaz .
This was in the twenties, happily married with kid(s), dreams of a home, a successful career..so on. Anticipated, as we hit the 30 mark the journey slows down. All in slow motion. You are settling in a dream villa, children have no time for you, a job and handsome salary......But that was not what was in store for us.
What the life of 30's showed us is a different world the earlier decade dint dream or perhaps plan of.
Hmm of course new fears of a fat 40, but new hopes, renewed energy & enthusiasm. Learning the current world, unfolding fresher thoughts, dusting off the clogs called mental blockage.
As for her, she turned into a new leaf abandoning her teaching profession and joining her husband in coffee business at Coorg- Karnataka adventuring and problem solving amidst huge business hurdles and 2 kids at home .
For me, my daughter does have time for me, teaching me board games that I dint see at her age. My career still soars & I add on my Masters degree in 30's. I rent apartments to live while we are happy and busy shaping our living and not the building! [ Pssss(whisper) We have post phoned the "home" project for retired life perhaps]

Why, I made discoveries within myself. At times perplexed, is it me?. The new me.
The metamorphosis includes replacement of hobbies, choice of attire, ways of thinking in technology era, urge for younger today. At age 6, may be I have lied I was 7 or 8. Today when my hubby turned my birthday candles from 32 to 23 I jumped like a real 23.
"It" the 30's syndrome proceeding towards the 40's was indeed not a journey slowing down. It was a wake up call for a new journey, perhaps the faster this time.
