I'm 25...

Just celebrated my 25th b'day yesterday.I seemed like the end of an era. Looking back the last 25 years have been pretty good. Donno what the next 25 has in store. The week running into my b'day was also a good. I got a job from campus..felt like a perfect climax to celebrate the first 25 years.
Celebrating birthdays at hostel are an experience here. You have people assembling at your door at the stroke of midnight and everyone has that killer look on them. They are there for giving you birthday bumps. Birthday bumps in this part of the world entails the birthday boy getting kicked hard on his lower back by everyone. Amazing custom this is. The poor chap is left standing the whole of his birthday after the generous shower. Anyways the whole thing is fun. Feels sad that this is gonna be my last celebration in this fashion.
I love birthdays. You feel very special. Everybody smiles at you, you get to hear the best things, old friends call up. Its the best day of the year. But yesterday for the first time I felt I'm getting old. Maybe the number 25 has the effect. See I have already mentioned "25" 6 times in the blog. The fact that I have not gotten any wiser or responsible over the years has an even worse effect.

Maybe its part of getting old, to get the feeling you are getting old or maybe I should shut up now..
