You need to grow up now

One friend months back said alice come out of the wonderland. I listened to her. But how does the wonderland come out of alice... You need to grow up now…they say. I don’t know what that means. World doesn’t function at your will they say. But what has the world got to do with me? You need to grow up now…they say.

I was a bad student always. Basically because I was deaf to the words of wisdom. Math is not all that tough a subject they said. You need to try harder. But why do I have to try ?

Lesson not learned. There always is a line and you are not to trespass. But I always happen to fold my fingers around the sharp barbed wire.It only happened once in some Superman movie that the world revolved the other way round.

Once long time back I had gone to Colaba market alone. I like my company the best..the reason being I can wander, there is no obligation as such to keep myself company. Well, there I had some across a silver rose finger ring at a roadside stall. I had fallen in love with the silver rose and had wanted to own it instantly. But people have told me time and again you are too impulsive and end up touching the cactus looking at the flower it wears.

With a lot of effort I walked away from the ring that day. Next day I went all the way back to the stall for that ring.. I hardly wear it, scared I might lose it. I wear it for a moment and admire it and back it goes to the wooden box.

One step at a time Jui . One step at a time. I have multiple bruises on my knees, I never realized the logic. I would always be in a hurry to reach .. always missed steps. But I never learned the one step logic. It was only recently, I was looking somewhere else , chatting away and missed the steps. It took me some minutes to get up on my feet and some days for my knee to come back to its normal size. You need to grow up now…they say.
