When did i grow up? >>>>>>>

Yesterday was a big day for me... a reminder of something that i have been able to achieve or that yesterday only i came to realize that yes.....now i am someone and i am capable of something....haha. Yesterday ..actually i got my salary..my very first salary. IN the afternoon a friend told me that our salary had been credited and was in our accounts...good..i was just jumping.....because 1. I was in grave need of money...it was drying up fast 2. It was my own hard earned(hey, let me say that..though it not all correct.....all the time i had fun only) money. SO, i went on to check my account and yes..there it was. It was quite a lot of money that was there. I took out a 1000 bucks and well.....i have kept them aside. I wish to keep some money every month and someday use them for a noble cause. I think its a moral responsibility of all of us to do something for our society or lets say... nature..wildlife. Yes...everyone needs to do it. And this has been one of my resolutions since the day i fell in love with the cute fishes my mom bought me when i was in 6th class. Way back..way back. Talking about money again....today i went out to do some shopping for myself...no more small shops....i landed directly into a biggy mall.....the most famous one here in mumbai..looked for a lot of clothes...but then nothing seemed too good...i mean they were good..but i couldnt choose. Sooo....i dint buy clothes. Instead..i found a bookstore there and i bought some books....two books. To kill a Mockingbird---n Their very Special Child.... books..yes.....i think they are me newly found passion....and i wish to have my own very personal library....i already got quite a lot of books....now again everybody is after me for treats n parties.....one because of birthday..two because of the new year..three..because of the first salary.....so not much to be left off that poor hard earned money. But i am glad to have earned that money....it is also one of the first times in life....first time in my life i got my own money....whoaa..i am still absorbing that shock...i have always been a big big spender .... i dont think this will last long.
Thinking back.....its not long...the day i changed school in class 5..that time i first wrote with a pen....a fountain pen..and my noteboks all went blue,,,,bad ink stains....Before that pencils only were allowed....the reason was that they say from pencil ..your handwriting improves..but mine...haha..it is so very poor...all my notebooks were filled with notes n diaries with complaints by teacher abt my writing. I recall a certain incident...once my dad actually gave me something to write.....just so that i improve my writing...so i went on the roof..with one of elder friends who lived there...and somehow i wrote that page....and i dont know....how my handwriting looked good for the first time. And then...i went happily to dad to show him that..and he..mann...he just didnt believe that i had written that...he just wont....i mean he really wasnt accepting that i myself wrote it..instead..who wrote it for you?..good!! was ,y writing was so poor that he just didnt belive that his gadha (donkey)son could write better. I even had to listen to a lecture of not to tell lies also..haha...but this doesnt mean my dad doesnt believe me...he believes in me..he loves me so so very much...i wish everyone has parents like mine..really. I was actually talking bout how time passes without we knowing it. It all seems just like yesterday. All the friends i had in school...going to college...more friends there..ragging..that dirty hostel..more dirtier bathrooms.....than tensions abt exams....then abt job...and then finally you get a job...start earning money....n then...then i have to see. For me.....i thank god for just everything i have in my life....i am glad that i got help at every point of time i needed it.....for all the wonderful friends in my life......whom i admire and turn up to at bad times.......and for constantly giving me inspiration to move ahead..and keeping my feet on the ground...each time every time.

Life is just such a wonderful thing.....so many surprises..good or bad......life is just so short..there is just so much in this world to do. I dont understand why people commit suicides.....life is too precious to be just thrown away.......but let me not talk abt this vague idea this new year. The year i am leaving behind was just great. A very very eventful year in my life....something i would cherish for my whole life. I made friends.....really very good friends......i learnt a lot....and i think by far ..this was the year i sense in me some kind of change..for the better of course. And i thank god for that ..for letting me to be just plain simple ME. This new year..i have to make some resolutions.....not to break them..but to actually follow them. I never believe in making resolutions...but the coming year is going to be important........so i think i need to plan ....plans plans plans...i was never the guy who actually made plans for anything....i have always maintained that "Take life as it comes"..i am not very prudent in my thoughts.....and may be that is damaging at times.....sooo......so showing thought about the future and being prudent enough..i think i shud stop writing now because i need to go to the office tomorrow..!!! I wud turn back tomorrow....
