25 And Yet to begin

It ain't often that guys or for that matter even girls nearing their 25th birthday start introspecting about what they are and where they have reached in life instead of letting their hair down at some hip party , yet once we start pondering about all those things that were , are and will be according to us a part of our life that we realize that we are soon gonna be 25 And we are Yet to begin. Begin something that can in its true sense can be called life , something that you have always heard about in stories from elders and you are yet to experience the same First Hand , something that you feel is truly abstract yet has many co relations with what you have done , are doing and have plans for , something many people term as Success and the modest individuals term as making money out of their sheer humility for Mankind.
It is often said that the age 25 starts a mid life crisis in a Male as the female brain is somehow wired differently and their mid life apparently never comes. For the men who at 25 , having graduated from some mediocre colleges , earning a mediocre salary good enough to pay the high rents of the metros and enough to make a living out of the so called under appreciated and yet so prevalent monotonous Professional life  , this age factor does tend to provide a sense of notice about the Life.
The noticeable pressure of holding on to the job , holding onto the love affairs , making new friends , extending the so much hyped social circle , trying to reach up to the expectations of the family  and the burden of just thinking about having reached a marriageable age something that we are constantly reminded about by everyone around us not only adds to the trauma of not having done anything of note until now but in many cases leads to a nerve shattering breakdown of the individual.

For everyone doesn't have that born talent of a SRT and the will to continue doing something that you must have loved since you were a child , for many 25 something men in this country don't even have a vision for their own life and future let alone the vision for some one else , for many 25 something men working in what so ever industry get heavily excited at the stories of the self made entrepreneurs but never ever try and look into their own selves for getting  besotted with faith in themselves , for many of us don't come out of the entrepreneurship - investment co relation kind of rut that people have put us into , for many of us have the ideas probably much later than some amazingly talented and hardworking individuals who we believe have set the standards that we probably cannot match in this lifetime.

P.S- Doing some thing that you love is difficult ,  falling in unconditional love with what you do is more impossible  but doing something that you have always feared and loving it along with excelling in it at the same time can simply not be put in humane words and thoughts.
The writer is about to be 25 and is YET TO BEGIN !!!

Deep in a Night !!

There is something in the deep of a night,
Thoughts , ideas and the years gone by,
Keeping the leash on the life so tight,
The sky , the stars , the moon in the sky.

The sounds of the waking birds ,  winds of the dusk,
The feel of the rising sun through the dark it bursts.
The life as you have seen comes rushing in a glimpse,
For it is your soul who she actually trusts.

The long hard look onto the empty streets,
For once they crooned with all the noisy beats,
Up above the stars are feeling shy,
For when did u start gazing in their sky.

The Bane of Emotions

The humane emotions , the most amazingly mysterious abstract things that make a human feel alive can be a menacing threat to the sole existence of any other human being directly or indirectly connected to you.
The emotions that lead to a man or for that matter a woman to woo or get wooed by a married individual in an office space or a bar or for that matter any other place can definitely lead to a wretched being for the loved ones of the person in question.
It can be justified that you couldn't control your stupid anatomical libido while you were drunk ( of alcohol or a pretty high positioned chair in office space) for a night or for that matter many nights but how can a human justify the same wrong doing over and over again. Isn't it fundamentally incorrect to actually fall for someone else where you are already blessed to have some one waiting for you to get back home or the feeling of blessed is also superficial , how else would we be called "HUMANS" then.
For it is one thing to cheat on your established life partner with some one you see as a future prospect but it is rather gory and disgracefully alarming to do so when you do have children for whom you are the biggest source of a simple smile and happiness in their lives.
I don't know how does one feel when his children from the first partner whom he/she divorced because of the existence of a second beloved in their lives call you up or plead for a meeting to witness their childhood hero / goddess who eventually left them in the dark shadows of this dim lit world with only a single biological parent to look up to , yet I firmly believe that the hormone induced sense of the so called emotions should never be let to take an upper hand in any human's lives.
P.S - If you love  someone and you do fall for someone else , its time to get a reality check done. !!
The write up neither favors cheating nor does it ask people to abstain from it. Its a simple tale seen by the eyes , heard by the ears and expressed IN PEN.

The Thing Called Alcoholism

The contrasting difference between the "drinking an entire bottle of a cheap alcoholic drink through the night, yet standing tall and carrying a friend all the way back home" and "the unexplained getting way too high after having a couple of drinks and letting your wife of 25 years take care of you" can be quite amazingly mind bogging to a select few.
For it did not take even a single ounce of strength to gulp down all that much of the intoxicating substance those many years back, yet it takes a hell lot more emotional leave alone the physical strength the body spends on digesting down a few drinks in these twilight years.
The heavy all night parties with your office colleagues , the festive evenings with your cousins , the high of getting high at the best friends marriage , dancing at a wedding or at a disco ( for the modern people who are yet to get old) completely sloshed , all of them add to the fervor of the experience that you get because of that thing termed alcohol.
Excessive Alcohol in any form is definitely bad for the human's health as per the directions of doctors , scientists etc yet they only write research papers about the advantages of having the same in moderate quantities. Somehow and some times it also seems that even these so esteemed intellectuals get high on the very mention of this intoxicating substance lest they should publish their research in the full consciousness and realism in this paradoxical , unrealistic and all the time in dreams world that has the capability of doing a few spinning and dancing rounds in front of the eyes of the intoxicated or even for that matter the so called sober individuals.
Drinking or Alcoholism as some humans name it is actually not an addiction that starts and ends with a bottle or a designer glass (different people different choices ) , rather its some kind of a tribute that a human tries to give to his/her  tender heart which has gone through tremors and turbulence's yet never forgot the taste , which has gone through all the joys and adventures yet never forgot the pain.
P.S - The writer is neither an alcoholic nor is someone totally against it. But its nice to possess a taste for things irrespective of the Good or Bad Times..!!
