forever 24

As a 16 year old I was obsessed with Backstreet boys and Harry Potter, I thought being a cricket commentator was the perfect career choice, and if you were unfortunate enough to be my parent, the most random question would evoke an emphatic 'no'.
The only purpose in my life was how-to-look-cool-in-front-of-people-who-I-thought-were-cool'

And now at 24.....
Everything has changed, the purpose of my life, my obsessions, my likes, dislikes
but something in me hasn't.
That something which was there in me as a naive 16 year old, as a mischievous 12 year old, and as a 24 year old.

Its been almost a week since I turned 24. And I celebrate in silence. No matter what happens, there is something in me that will remain eternal in this ephemeral world.

This reminds me of Bawa's session in ashram, during DSN ...wherein Bawa spoke about that thing which has remained unchanged...
Wow, what an evening it was...
:-)

It is always so wonderful to feel young in the heart, even though years flash by, birthdays come and go. In no time, the drama of life unfolds .....from childhood to senelity. Enjoy and savour the
'youthfullness of the heart' which is forever !

'Jaigurudev' !
