Reality bites ... enjoy

Late night with friends and late night coffee always makes u wonder

25-30 is not a nice age for a man
Your ex-Girlfriend is getting married
Your career has just started
Elders treat you as unproven theorems
College guys feel that you are too old to have in their group
You seem to enjoy both cartoon and news
You can no longer eat whatever you wish without putting on weight
You look like an ape if you don’t shave daily
You are not invited for weekend cricket matches
Every silly Aunty you meet ask “Shaadi kab kar rahe ho beta?
Every unknown Uncle asks “Career ka kya socha hai beta…”

When the reality is that you are just riding the wave and going with the flow
You have all the confidence in the world but little achievements to show
You already have the first hand experience of the life
You know whatever you have been taught about the world in schools has been sheer waste of time You can be denied a job even after passing the test
And you could be given a job if you know someone placed high enough
Politics till now was a dirty word but now you feel it everywhere
You know now love is not that blind and that friendship has its terms and conditions
You know there is nothing for granted and free lunches are not free
Your overconfidence is now making way for a humble conscience

. . You now know it is not exactly what we thought it would be…
