Well, College finishes and thus the strive into the real world starts. I am just not talking about salaries and all, but something more, something that you did not see it coming, something you did not feel it before.
As I get the news of a couple of relatives( my uncles n all) getting health problems which are quite serious, and as the elderly speak to you in a helpless tone looking forward to your support, I really felt something was changing. The vulnerable sides of the elders are quite visible now,which seemed to be missing before and who stood as pillars of support throughout your life untill you became an adult. I guess being adult has more meaning than just earning money and supporting a family,your family. It also seems that we need to extend a tender hand at all those people who had stood by us till we graduated in the lessons of life nd finally could run on the tracks of society on our own. It really seems very odd in the beginning when those people in whose laps you might have cried, are now at the same very position looking for a shoulder to shed their tears. It really seems very odd,when you see them acting childishly and sometimes you have to scold them to not to act like that. And that is the point you know that you have become a man, ready to carry the baton of life till the future generations is ready,while serving the older one and at the same time giving you the glimpse of what lies ahead. Sometimes you feel proud to be in such honorable positions,at the same time you feel alone, for now you are the decision maker, you are the captain of the ship,and if you make a mistake lest the ship drown in the midst of the Ocean. Seems like this is the fate of humanity, this is the call of duty, this is the meaning of life.
There may seem to be alot of contradictions above, but then that's how emotions are and I had no other purpose in this post,rather than expressing them.
