its depressing when i read this quote "today is the oldest you have ever been and the youngest you will ever be again"
downright depressing.
i know i said that i am enjoying my thirties and that i have come into my own and all.... but today on a lazy sunday afternoon, as K and I sipped chilled beer and waited for the cooker to release the steam so we could attack my special chettinadu biryani, we watched Aayatha Ezhuthu.
the first time we watched it was at its release in 2004, when K and i were married for less than 6 months. i remember, we went to prasad's imax and were with another couple. i wore a white kurta, jeans, kolhapuris, jhumkis and dark kaajal and when i saw kareena kapoor, i was like, dude, that is my signature look!
why do i remember what i wore so vividly? because i still dress pretty much like that, but that damn kurta far from fits me anymore. middle age girth and all. also that in those days, K and i would be pretty happy to hand around theatres or loll about at home the entire weekend. not bothering about pantry supplies, vegetables, emails, presentations and other mundane stuff like proving your worth to the world.
today kind of felt weird, like a scene from gangs of wasseypur, when each period of time is marked by a movie of significance. i felt far from young... just saying...

Aww the passage of time! i feel that too, but in my mind i am still young (maybe not as young as i used be). If you are older than some folks, you will always be younger than others. If you keep an open mind to learning and growing constantly you will remain young.
Ok time to introduce myself, I've been reading your blogs for a few months now and i really love reading them (missing them too when here's too much of a time lag). So please keep writing.
