On turning 21

I recently turned 21 . It is huge ! At first I really thought it made no difference whatsoever , you know aside from being 'legal ' , ' a year closer to death ' or whatever similar nonsense that people say .

But really , I came to realise that I actually feel old.I dont know .This to me represents a mark , a step , a threshold that has been crossed . I can no longer been a teenager, even if I wanted to .I can no longer be considered a university student no more, because once I graduate in a few months, that would be it .I would be starting my real life , with a real job, and real responsibilites to take care of .

An awesome memory that I had of this day was a great gathering with my friends for a nice dinner .I wished though that the rest of the people who didnt show up were there , but it didnt happen . Thanks to everyone who sent me a message on facebook , my mobile or my email. I am also thankful for a friend who made an international call to wish me a happy birthday . That I will always remember . I would also cherish the "1001 movies you have to see before you die" guide . AWESOME !

I had a number of plans for the year .And I have a lot of options too .But really , I came to realise that it would be a bit too early to plan what to do in July , when it is only October.I think I would take each thing , as it comes .Slowly and patiently.

I have a lot of good expectations for this year.But as a friend of mine once said :"Expectations always ruin things " .So , I have decided to go with the flow this year , and see where life would take me this time around.
