Thirty 2

This feb 17th I completed my 32nd year of existence on this planet earth (obviously where else can it be?), its been quite a exhilarating journey till now and hope it goes the same way.
The next day after birthday I was out when some guy in the ATM asked me 'whats the time uncle?', the guy looked not too younger that I qualify to be an 'Uncle', not that I didn't like it, but made me think have I grown old, cant I call myself an youngster (yeah I know all those age is in the mind and as long as you are young at heart that is all what matters), it was just a few years back I was with my friends loafing around, admiring the girls, just watch them smile, giggle around and now I don't do that anymore (does marriage change everything? does it make people so responsible? I don't know, could be true!).
There are lot of things that have changed, I don't get to meet my friends regularly (not that I am complaining), stay out till late nights, discuss all issues on earth till it ends up with a drinking session. I miss we all guys playing cricket every evening in the nearby park and invariably ended up in a fight and then the regular tea and smoke session, man I really miss all those things.
Ok, coming back to feeling older (am 32 and I am older), I feel that I am getting slower in things I do, on my work front I am into a non-technical (people management) role and offlate feel that I should get back into a pure technical role, is it because I want to feel younger? or does the fear of youngsters catching up on me scare me, I am not sure.
I am writing all this so that when I read it some other day I would like to judge myself for my thought process, anyway at this point its true that I am a year older than I was year back and compared to next year I am still younger and eager to ensure that my journey remains as exhilarating as it has been.
