Where was I looking…

Posted on by Sushmita Sahay

when Time hoodwinked me?

Some of my friends are turning grey at the temples . Even the guy who has my heart started getting silver highlights…😃

When my friends were getting portly, I wondered what was stopping them from keeping in shape! One should try and get into jeans to keep a tab on the growing girth. So what if I don’t like the skinny jeans, they were a dead style long ago!

And to top it, my batchmates started talking of their kids’ careers… Early birds, I know. I have a long way to reach this pit stop as my little fellow still carries a school bag.

☺️ # Not me. I have been merrily afflicted with this syndrome. Looking outwards and wondering how time has caught up with my peer group. Only that my hairs too need an artificial pigmentation once in a while and my clothes have slipped from the sprightly hangers to demure ones and my tastes in music in particular and life in general have taken on a philosophical tinge. Thats all.

  1. So compact write up yet as powerful as Time itself ..hits the core and this reminds me of our alma mater music classes by revered Sr Florence .. “change change since I was born change change since I was born;there is change since I was born .. books I used to read I read them no more , . There’s change since I was born..stuff I used to eat I eat them no more .. there is ch… , place I used to visit I visit them no more , dress I used to wear I wear them no more .there’s ch… Things I used to do I do them no more .. there’s chan… etc etc and hence forth .. Before we even realised we all board the same boat enjoying the ride through our eternal journey .. it’s like curtain rising and falling ..rolls over, scenes changing giving way to the new actors /our extensions for their part .. .. All world is a stage after all🤗

I love this beautiful World. Books and travel come in next. I write my random musings- share it fortnightly on this site and wait to hear from you.
