A stage where responsibility, independence, money, glory, recognition and finally a speculation about the future all comes together. If marriage is the only thing which bothers girls, believe me there are 10-15 things which bothers a guy.
A stage where youngsters hesitate to consider them and elders hesitate to exclude them. A sense of maturity needs to be added up to the resume of character/behaviour. You can never ignore your once upon a time crush getting married to a guy, nor you can concentrate on catching up a girl. A time where we guys come to know that, life isn't about winning all the time. Its just adjusting yourself to keep up the pace with others. May be on the way you have to sacrifice a girl/a friend/or a life itself.
Parents have a sign of pride on their shoulders looking at their son's earning handsomely and we carry a big question mark on our shoulders to decide on the path we should move on. The same adda's where you spoke about a college gossip, or the feeling you had towards a girl, or the ambition you had: to do something good for the country is turned out to be a place where you just discuss about the salaries,PM's,SPM's, appraisal and hike.
Sometimes it makes me feel, life has changed/ the people have changed but in reality, its just that our priorities have changed. Your family asks for your future plans, but all that you can answer is a mumble. You don't know whether you are ready for marriage which seems very funny, when compared to the promise you made for the first girl friend, which stated:I ll marry you as soon as i start earning. Isn't it funny? We are not sure whether we are ready for higher studies nor are we sure if the change of company will turn the things around.
The only thing you are clear about is that money doesn't make things simple, infact it makes it complex. Everyone look upto as a Grown up boy, but you still have a considerable amount of childishness which wants to creep out of your bounds once in a while. You cant actually express in public that you are not sure about your future, nor can you keep quiet, fighting it out on your own.You cant stop dreaming about a angel being your wife nor you can be confident of affording one.
I have faced all these things in just two years, and i'm sure there are lot in store to come. I'm quite sure there are many out there just like me, with the same questions/dilemmas. As i write this up, i feel, life is a quest to be won on our own and more importantly finding answers to the dilemmas/questions.
Life of a guy isn't so simple as it seems to be!!!
