Stages

There are various stages in life. Right now, as I write this blog entry, I really want to write about the problems at office. But problems at office should stay in the office. Don't you think? I'm really tired though.

So recently I went to one of my friend's parties for her newly born baby boy. Very sweet little kid. He's really an angel. He hardly cries, will go to anyone and is the perfect picture of contentment. I believe that babies are stress busters (especially if they're not yours) - and that gets re enforced everytime I meet a new little angel.

So what are the stages in life? Well, I'm not going to talk about the be born, go to school, get married have babies cycle, primarily cuz that's obvious and not the point of this blog. I'm talking about the woman cycle.

In the beginning, you are the single girl in the room. As the years go by, it gets more awkward. Your friends steadily get married, you remain single. You accompany some couples on trips, are known as the massi/bhua, but remain the odd one out. Your parents are always after you to "find a boy". "Meet a boy". "Do something".

Then it happens. You get married. All that fuss and bother. You wonder why you just didn't do it in the first place!! But still, you remain the odd one out!! Cuz by now, all your friends have had kids!! Then you're still the odd one out. When are you planning to have kids? They're such blessings in disguise. What are you waiting for?

And so on and so forth.

All part of the various stages of life I would say.

"Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullesh; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think."
