It always seems like we will be ever young and nobody wants to consider oneself growing old until signs are pretty clear or 'threatening' actually to put it in plain terms. The backache is dismissed as the result of too much exercise and the knee pain a cause of sitting idle.
I realized when a group of kids, who actually happen to be my cousins invited me to a party they were having at the beach..while I cheerfully agreed at first & even went about food & beverage shopping, it suddenly struck me that none of my aides are of my age or older than me. Infact most of the 20 odd kids were atleast 5-8 years younger than me! I then somehow managed to avoid going about the awkward ritual of being the big brother at the party and stayed back at the pretext that even I don't remember inspite of thier repeated generous request which were kinder than I expected. The realization was the shock that people of your own age group have been literally evaporated from the face of the world! I could find no 30-35 year old to share my stupid feelings. Now it's time I post this blog for whatever it's worth!
