There has been a constant ebbed feeling that would tug at the prefrontal cortex of this two decade old homo sapien. And the tugging got a little more livid at the beeps of my cell phone. Turns out my beloved twin (as per our twin theory) had been feeling the same. Marina, at 2:02 am, wanted to know what happened within a span of 2 years that reduced the rate of pictures uploaded on Facebook, reduced the amount of free time we have and considerably reduced the no. of times I had golgappa.
We'd become "more serious, less carefree, less funny, probably more mature". The so instigated train of thoughts went on and on but since it was the wee hours of the morning I decided to not ponder over it much.
Enter Nikita. (9:49 am) Nikita: c on fb, i've commented on 1 of our pics frm 2 years back. v were so thin back then nd luk like kids. just 2 years nd kitna kuch badal gaya hai. Amity has been an eventful journey for me at least.
I promised to check once I'd gone through my morning routine- and I did. The change was evident and inevitable.
Speaking of the inevitable, I remembered a conversation with another friend of mine. "Life is a journey, we meet new ppl, some stay for less time some for longer. But everyone teaches you something new about this journey. And the best thing is it goes on... Everyone has his own way to walk past this journey. Nothing is wrong or right. And this is one of the journeys where the destination matters the least."
All of this within a day- so I came up with my contribution to the nostalgia that's been travelling around. It's probably a totally different aspect but it's something that's been staring at us from an inch of distance from our faces at us.
Just two decades on this planet and everybody feels like they've had had been duped into changing, being more careful, slightly cynical, less cheerful and older, by the thug- Time.
But what have we accomplished? Just the realization that time's slipped by.
We have a long way to go (hopefully) and a lot to accomplish. There's a lot to learn, a lot to create, a lot to think, lots of games to play, lots of things to see. We have changed but only for the better- seasoned with the changing times.
And we're still young! Let's not think how we've changed and think what has made us better- rather. We'll change, no doubt, but what's the point in staying the same always?
I'd quote two great minds I've met:
Marina: "life's all changed naa.. even as we look back to 1st year in Clg.. changed in a gud way.. i think i hv become more intellectually mature..maybe.. toooo many wrong ppl and now i can handle wrong."

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
