It is 1st August today.
My 24th birthday!
what? 24!!!!??????
Have i exhausted twenty four years of my life?
Are you sure the number is 24?
24??? Is it T-w-e-n-t-y-F-o-u-r???
Where did they go? How did i spend them?
Did i spend them purposefully? meaningfully?
The answer to a greater extent would be NO.
Have i squandered these 24 years?
Perhaps NO on that count too.
The answer, as always, lies somewhere in the middle.
Nevertheless, 24 is quite a lot of time and it has gone past very quickly.But as time goes by, it leaves behind large trove of memories. Thus, surely, these 24 years of my life have been full of things to recount and reminisce. And thankfully, huge part of it consists of pleasant memories. However, at this point in time, i find it out of place to indulge in any nostalgic exercise.
On my 24th birthday, it is the future that fascinates me and it is the present that pre-occupies.
Notwithstanding the pleasant feelings that the reminiscence invokes, it will have to wait the pleasure of my encounter.
Right now, it is time to roll-up the sleeves and get on with the work.
Happy Birthday to you Waqar.
You deserve it boy.
It has been a Life well-lived and lived as much for others as for your own self.
So keep it up.
And God bless you.
