Life of Twenties Something !!

A super article i came accross, didnt want to miss it postin on my blog, for my readers and myself. Hope u'll all like it:

BEING IN TWENTIES - SOMETHING

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that
there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not
like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year
or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those
friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the
greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch
with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is
that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or
insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you
would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that
you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and
find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that
you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding
things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute,
you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone
and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and
cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is
drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay
where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such
damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone
decent enough that you want to get to know better. One night stands and
random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an
idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and
questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same
topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about
loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while
winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a
contender!

What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we
can to figure this whole thing out. Send this to your twenty-something
friends... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in
their state of confusion...

We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."

THINK PINK

During my childhood, I used to love PINK….. teens, I developed a taste for blue, metallics, black etc.. then later I got a fever of RED, when everything I used to like was red- be it clothes, accessories, cars, electronics, especially those red shoes ;-P…. but since a few months, I have developed a craze for pink, particularly fuschia!!!

So….What do you think?  Anyone's favorite color pink?  Do you admit it?  Do you wear it?  Will you now after reading this? 

QUE: Do Gurls wear pink coz its girly or its girly  coz we wear it??

Another first chicken or first egg variety question but who really cares! Pink is such a fabulous and attractive color that can instantly increase your face value and symbolizes everything happy & charming. Pink commands a cheerful connotation in our daily lives, it has its own beauty and represents a combination of elements: red & white, fury & peace, passion & calm. We are complex individuals and pink is the color that can be modified to match our moods. Some days you really do feel at peace like the nature of a cherry blossom pink, and the other day you might feel bright and chirpy like the Fuchsia… (my favvvvvvv ;o) … I am in love wid it)

Be it a fuchsia, magenta or coral, each hue of pink is so exciting and lively and therefore, so apt to be branded as girly! Today i can relate a lot of my feelings (specially the lovey dovey ones) to this super cute n super hot color ' PINK... no no Fuchsia Pink !!! :D

Pink color is also symbolic to the desire for the more carefree days of our childhood for the overworked and stressed-out women (both a corporate girl and a house lady), so gurrrllsss… lets freeze the time in the pink age of our lives…THINK PINK AND STAY GIRL!!!

Confession : The thought of writing this post popped in my mind when I saw a guy, passing by, in a pink shirt looking more confident than what girls look when they wear pink. Little did I know that the internet is already inundated with content on pink, rather with interactive forum for matters close to a girl’s heart..about stuff that can tickle u pink !!! :) So this will not be another run-of-the-mill post.

If I knew what I know NOW!!

Sitting in office idle for sometime, a song came floating in my mind ‘If I knew what I know now’ by Kenny Rogers which made me think, if I meet my younger self in teens, now, what advice would I give her. If we all knew THEN what we know NOW, would our lives been better?

IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW

Well, hello girl, tell me, how have you been?
By the way, I`ll never make the same mistake again
And you know girl, it`s been a long hard time
Nothing like back when you were mine.

And if I knew then what I know now
I`d have found a way
To make things work out somehow
I`d have held you tight
I`d have treated you right
If I knew then what I know now.

It`s a crazy world for a boy and a girl

Harder than it is for a woman and a man
Oh, it was easy then just to push you away
Guess I never knew how I'd feel today.

If we knew then ...

You know I'd do things differently
If you ever come back to me
If we could just go back in time
There`s no broken heart
Girl, we`re at the start this time.

Dear Me @ 21,

The dress you wore for that school function, just what were you thinking :-o

Don’t hate the thick eyebrows you had then. It is going to be the most beautiful eyebrows once you grow up.

Don’t be impulsive. For your every action, there will be a reaction and you will realise this later in life and then you will have to live with the consequences.

Don’t dress up for others. Dress up because you want to feel and look good to yourself.

Don’t be embarrassed at stupid incidents, like when a guy tries to talk to you or asking for notes from a super intelligent classmate.

Don’t wear socks in those block heels or sandals, no matter how cold it is. Period.

Don’t cry over ‘that’ guy. He is not your true love. I repeat NOT.

Listen to your mom and dad. Trust me. They really do know what is best for you.

Help mom in the kitchen. How did mom do it without complaining? you will realize that once you start managing alone / are married ;)

Spend time with your girlfriend no matter how buzy you are with other things.

Spend more time with God.

Say ‘Thank you’ more often to your parents.

Spend less time watching TV or listening songs or studying and more time with your brother and give them advice when they come to you. Before you know it, they are not going to be needing your advice, but would be giving you one! They grow up so soo soooo fast!

Don’t be selfish. The world does not revolve around you. NO, It does not!

Don’t do anything which you have to hide from your family… be true to yourself and them.

Don’t get aggressive on sensitive matters, they ruin understanding with your loved ones.

Take care of your skin and have lots of water.

Enjoy every moment.. be it with parents, brother or Friends.

Don’t worry about that ugly pimple, you will learn that people are not superficial. They love you no matter what.

You will develop a passion for shopping.

Don’t be paranoid about birthdays. You will still look the same, even better than how you look now! And you will hear people complimenting on that …

Don’t go looking for Mr. Right in Mr. Wrongs. Just wait. You will fall in love with the most wonderful man and will be happily married.

Be more organized.

Love your body just the way it is. Trust me, You will want this waistline back when you look back at pics taken during the college days :p

Don’t live French fries, noodles, fried chicken, pizzas, dosas and samosas only… try some dal chawal also, you gonna crave for it later.

MOST IMPORTANT: Don’t try to please everyone and anyone… Learn to say NO and move on!

If I knew all this then, I probably would have had a perfect life, but these are the things that have made me into the person that I am today.  Guess that’s what life is all about, which doesn’t only includes good decisions but bad ones too. I have learnt to learn and move!

This is a idea I got from one of the blogs and sounded really interesting to me to write what’s on my list, infact kind of a letter to my younger self !!! i guess there are lot many things to be added still ....
