I have been through the whole nine yards…been a moderately studious kid with lots of issues…slogged for my UG…worked my ass off for a job and now the long wait is technically over, just ten more days left for me to enter the corporate world and earn MONEY..!!! yeah that is what I have been dreaming for quite sometime now…face it…who doesn’t…I have been fantasizing of all the lavish stuff that I will be buying with first few bucks which will be entirely MINE…!! I can indulge, I can splurge money…(till now I have been able to only use those phrases in the negative form ) I can visualize myself owning an 180cc bike which cuts across traffic like a knife through butter, an awesome phone with all the features available in the market (I know this is not possible because phone companies always hold back some features just to make us buy again..Wretched bastards!) and a must-buy is a lava lamp. I don’t know why but I have always been fascinated by a lava lamp. It may sound stupid but I would definitely frame a life size poster of PINK FLOYD and hang it by my bedside.
While all these things excite me…there is this small disappointment that I have become an adult…well almost..(I still don’t know how to pay the bills, buy groceries etc..Now you know what my definition of an adult is). It is a difficult transition from a dependant kid who gets food when he comes home screaming “MOM I am hungry…!!” to a professional and having to ‘work’ for a livelihood.
It is a challenge that I am willing to take on…not that I have a choice..i am not one of those lucky bastards who get to continue to mooch off dad’s business till they are 40 and finally their kids start telling their tottler friends “my dad is a business man”…(aaah don’t mind me..i am just jealous :D ) It is inevitable, but I am still gonnna miss not paying for my bills henceforth..mooching off cousins who are working… :D Jey and niranjan..hope you are reading this… :D …aaaaaahhh that’s life…! being treated as a kid ,at times it is irritating when they don’t include you for serious talk...but it has its advantages of never opening your wallet… :D
In ten days I am going to be paying taxes, look at potential financial investments ( I never knew what it meant till some time ago..) and actually worry about debts, career choices, work pressure….phew…Scary….I hope I adapt well in to the wilderness called adulthood…
***DAD….!!! I need a new pair of shoes before I report to office..!!!***
