Arranged Marriage - The Poker Of Real Life

Quite a Teendane

School is always going to be the best phase of your life under any given circumstances.
Life then was all about finishing your homework and playing around, getting nervous about your exams, enjoying the school picnics, canteen junkies and birthday parties. All good things come to an end, probably this is that turn in our life when we are super happy to get out of school and enter college thinking its the greener side of life ! Phew ! how better would it be to know that, we are actually leaving an entire rainbow to fetch some spells of randomly scattered colours ahead !
While we are all just chicklets hatching out from our safe and secured shells back there and entereing into an altogether different world, we see the actuality of life.
So in this segment of life, freedom actually is a little dual shaded, as it could either make or mar our lives ! The reason being freedom here is not enveloped with maturity and wisdom, it rather is quite raw & random.
We are soo used to functioning under parental guidance and supervision that entering into the so called " Teen age life " brings its own fun and baggage to carry along !
Here is when you have to hold onto your own grit and ideologies. All the value education lectures attended in school seems to clash with our on going teenage agendas and there comes up a conflict between deciding whether to go with the mass like a sheep or hold on, step back and decide to be the Happy Odd Man Out and face the consequences of your upbringing !

Why do i call it to be a consequence ?
So what happens now is that the world outside is no more like what we had in school, you now have a variety on your "people platter menu", where some people are spicy, some bitter but better, some salty - nasty while some be sweet not so sweet....
Making a choice here is hell of a task and whatever you chose, there shall always be some pros and cons along with each of them & hence the word "consequence" because you want to spread your wings & depart, but the rule book of it doesn't match with your values & morals !!
I would also agree to it that the college days for each of us wasn't as bad as it sounds here, but this was kind of a pre grooming session for us to know the realities and rationalities of life.

As they say, " A diamond is a piece of charcoal who managed to handle stress exceptionally well "  ! Wooh !! Something on similar lines happen in this Teen Diary Segment of our lives too  !

This is the time when we are clearing the different rounds or levels of this game called life. We leave our old friends and make new friends, we are exposed to challenging times and more critical situations but we all manage to fair well eventually. Gradually going ahead we have prom nights, college fests, movies, shopping sprees, the whole idea of wanting to look good, presentable and everything in and around it ! The best way to know whether we have been able to prim & prime ourselves or not, is by rewinding our initial years facebook pictures & captions ! Im sure each of you will say - Eww how could i even look or say something like that !

"Sometimes Facebook is a measure of our physical and mental evolution".
  - Thankyou Mark Zuckerberg for keeping a record for our reference purpose.

The kind of pictures we posted and the kind of status's and email ids we created then, surely would create a memory worth a million laughs if you were to read it today ! (Also if you're feeling that whatever you write and post today is very matured and intellectual, trust me when you read them after a span of another 10 years + you will be laughing on this again) So then what's the final age to have attained maturity and wit ?
The answer is when you reach a stage where whatever you did, be it ever soo silly or applaudable, you dont regret it ! You thought it was worth a try at that point in life & you did it ! No closures or compensations over it.
