People around me usually don't ask me 'How old are you?' They have replaced that question by 'What is your work experience?' these days. So over the period of time I had conveniently forgotten my actual age....
The other day during one of our lunch breaks when one of my collegues asked my age I actually had to do some math to find it out.. It is 2009 minus 1985 so that would be 24 I said...!!! Wait a minute!!! Did I actually say 24..? OMG!!! I would be 24 this August..that is just a year away from completing quater of a century in this earth... (Why are you doing this to me God.. I don't want a another B'day please.. I ve already had enough of them..)
Actually there were a number of signs which were telling me that I am older than I thougt I was. I just failed to read them.These are just some of them :)
Over the past few years, though I dont remember when it started, the shopkeepers and strangers in the road have started to call me 'sir' ( or 'saar' rather) instead of 'thambi'!!!
You get invited to lots of weddings these days and the wedding invitation cover contains the words ' To Vignesh and family' instead of 'To my dad's name' and family.. These people actually think that I old enough to have a family or what??
My first neice was born when I was in my primary school.. I was expecting that I would be introduced to her as 'Vignesh Uncle' that day!!!U know being called 'uncle' would have made me feel like a grown up.. but much to my dismay I was introduced to her as 'Vignesh anna'. But now when I went to meet my most recent neice when I expected that I would be introduced to her as 'Vignesh anna' I was introduced to her as 'Vignesh Uncle' .. :(
Kids always wanna be grown ups and grown ups always wanna be kids...
