'Boyzone' had set the mood
on!
Music has that power! A strong pull! It takes you back in time to when you
first heard it or when you often use to hear it, if it's an old record. At the
same time, it sets up some new memory cells getting born in your mind's
database, especially if it's the new track on the speaker.
Soon I found myself glancing
in the mirror. Perhaps the only true physical reflection that had a lot to say!
As I ran my fingers through my hair and focussed my gaze on the partition, I
acknowledged the grey hair follicles depicting adulthood. I hope I've used my
'grey cells' well and wish to keep exercising them regularly keeping those
neurons filled with vigor!
Thirty four years on this
planet. What pride! Each day is life earned and lived well!
Every passing day being a new learning! Did I ever imagine I would learn to swim
in my twenties and my Karate training would begin in my thirties! Numbers are
mere records to let the doctor know how biologically old the mass of body we're
carrying is. It's the feeling and the enjoyment of belonging to the world
that keeps us high spirited.
If I ponder on how gracefully
I'd like to age and foresee myself draped in those gorgeous six yards of Cotton
or Silk, donning a bigger 'Bindi' and a natural grey hairdo, I'd be losing the
present! On the eve of birthday, all I would focus on would be to live the
greatest blessing, called 'Life'!
