Realizing things…

Being in your early twenties makes you realize a lot of things.. And for these.. U need not technically be under a "bouddha vruksha" (roughly translated as Buddha tree)!! It can happen anywhere.. Anytime!

You are having a perfect dream (just like the one I described in one of my "ponderings")… while you hear that familiar song (which was once upon a time among your favorites)… you hate it now coz its your alarm tone… and realize its time to go to office!

You look @ the clock and notice that it was the time you were supposed to be in office while u r still on your bed! That’s when you realize you have actually become lazy.. (and not just "saving your energy" for later!)

You open your closet looking for something to wear and all you can see are stinking… old clothes… clothes that seem “inappropriate” for a grown-up..!! That’s when you realize that it’s been a long time you have actually had a sensible shopping!

You step into the kitchen and all you can find are some bread loafs and jam bottle literally being attacked by the ants… It’s when you realize… you need to be "Not-so-vegan" and pick out the ants from the jam sometimes (only hoping that none of them somehow slip into your toast!)

You keep searching a thing for so long.. That after a while you seem to forget what exactly you were looking for! That’s when you realize… none of the dry fruits your mom gave are helping you with your memory issues!

Traveling in bus makes you realize you have not made enough savings to buy a vehicle of your own

Staring at a couple makes you realize you are still single and its not just coz.. “god is writing the best love story for u”

Reaching office makes you realize you need to work for 8 more hours to return to your room!

Talking to your colleagues makes you realize.. Everyone has a better boss than u (or at least their appraisal is better!)

Somewhere half way between your conversations.. U realize that you have lost the hold on your communication skills and you are blabbing about anything possible (No one is listening too!!) but who cares??? You wanna talk! (Annoying rite?)

Checking your mails makes you realize its been a long time since you have joined the firm and still got nothing "Valuable" to do

When it comes to calculation… you seem to have forgotten basics and realize that you can’t do much without Excel or a calculator!

You see a text from your friends but you realize that you are too grown up (or just plain lazy…) to "chat" and send forward msgs

Looking at the photos in Facebook of guy/girl you had a wild crush on during your college days makes you realize... Everyone has moved on except you (and that you need to stop using Facebook too much!)

Listening to a group of “youngsters” giggle about stuffs makes you irritated... And you realize that you are out of THAT group now!

An unexpected holiday makes you realize you have nothing better to do @ home... (And you wish you could have stayed in office!)

Taking a vacation makes you realize you cannot take out work from your tiny li’l brain!

A splash of water from passing vehicle makes you realize “it’s not my day”

Meeting your old friends makes you realize… well.. everything listed above!!!

Sometimes… what keeps you up all night are not musings about a wonderful life or a picnic the following day… but it’s a barking dog... Mailing syndrome or a presentation fever! That’s when you realize.. You are THAT boring professional you dreaded of becoming one day!

Finally after all this... When you try to sit and write your frustration down… Microsoft Word makes you realize that your spelling mistakes are unbearable! (Highlighted in red at that!) While you were a spellathon champ during your college days!!! :/ Uff! (Irony at its best!)
