Creeping towards 30

Shit. Just a few more months to hit 30!! I am having a mid life crisis here. What am I doing here on earth? What significant things have I done so far?? What does my future hold for me???

Much older people are totally going to use my age against me and "brag" about how they already had three kids when they were my age. Ugghh. Maybe it would come as a shock to them but my lifes aim is not to have kids. I am completely against the idea of producing kids just for recreational purposes. Don't we already have enough humans crawling on our planet?

What do other sane folks do when they turn 30? Go on a world trip, do adrenaline pumping adventure sports, take a sabbatical to write a novel or pretty much do anything they damn please. I guess a lot of it is to celebrate their life so far, be reckless and carefree again and just be that same old crazy-at-heart soul.

And then there are those who worry so much about the present and the future that they forget to live. Or be obsessed of earning enough to spend after retirement or on their children. That I think is the most ridiculous thing about me. Yes me.. minus the spending on children part. I'm afraid that when I am 30, I wouldn't have anything to be proud of or to reflect back and say yayyy I did what I have always wanted to do.

Do I smell a resolution here? With just a few months left to hit that curvy number, I have to really get my act together and steel my mind to kick some awesomeness butt.
What did you do or will do when you hit 30? Leave your answers in the comments

Farewell thee

Its been four long gloriuos years. The best phase of life one can ever live and never want to leave. Every single place here reminds me of some cherished memory. I've had my share of ups and downs, bad hair days, fun party nights and everything in between. There have been times when at the end of the day, sleep would seem like such a waste of time. "There is still so much left to do", I'd say. Even today I feel like we're leaving too soon. We haven't grown up just as yet to face the outside world. I have hated the rules and regulations, always telling us what to do, but now being on my own has become my worst fear. In this melting pot of emotions, relationships have been made, hearts have been broken, friendships have strengthened, friendships have turned to enmity, enmity has evolved to war and so on. All this forms such a major part of college life that academics has taken a back seat. Of course, the level of education was considered only when the choice of

The Indian Wave...

People say that history repeats itself. It sure does, but the characters are different . Long ago when civilization would have first began on earth, the land was rich, the air pure, the water sweet and calm; all untouched by the wicked human mind. India was once called the land of the golden bird. The fertile soils reaped rich golden harvests feeding a fairly large population at the time. Technology was trickling down among its veins slow and steady. To what extent the British were responsible for the accelerated growth of technology or the rapid deceleration of monetary resources is argumentative. No one can predict what would have happened without the intervention of the British. Were the seeds of cultural differences already sowed in our minds and would a partition still have been the ultimate outcome? Would we still be under the rules of kings and princes and not 'enjoying' our republican rights? Is it really possible that we would be counted among the developed countr

All the things I want to be

Through the years, various fields and professions have fascinated me. I would have liked to be them but alas, life is short and mental and physical capabilities are limited. So I restricted myself to being a software engineer. Here goes: Air force pilot - its cool… and flying! Navy pilot/fighter  - the sea, the tension .long periods of nothingness and then little bit of high octane action Marine biologist - Love whales! Garbage truck driver - skilled profession of driving bigass vehicles, manoeuvring the pickup arm and dumping it into the truck. If lucky get to pick some good discarded items. Like barely used furniture. NDRF - Going to dangerous places, saving people. Feels like an important job Travel blogger -  get to travel and write Writer/author - write random stories Farmer - Take care of plants, grow and eat the same food. Be in the outdoors Environmentalist - Work full time on solutions for environmental problems Astronaut - space, explorer of galaxies Scientist - Come up with
