Not So Sweet Sixteen!

 Life's an adventurous journey. You can't tell what comes your way. It's unpredictable. Seriously, I never imagined growing up. Liked my life the way it was. In fact, loved it.  I turned sixteen on 10th May. I just don't understand what's so sweet about turning sixteen. It feels the same as fifteen but with a bit more responsibilities and a hint of madness. Why do people make growing up such a big deal even though it feels quite great? You still miss those inane years when you could do asinine things without any good explanation. Well, life goes on to become complicated. However, it's fun. This topic has dual descriptions. Can't adhere to one. Simply bewildering. 


If you think about it, when you are around 5 years old, you just want to grow up so that you can do whatever you want. Nevertheless, this thought disappears when you become a teenager as you need to justify everything you do. When you start growing up people expect you to mature & be wise. (Even though those aren't your plans). As a kid what I dreamt about being a teenager was that I could keep watching TV the whole day. I could eat chocolates whenever I want without being told that it's not good for my health (or it would result in a sugar rush). I could go and play in the park whenever I wanted to. I imagined that I will not have to study and this would be a dream come true. (Don't judge me. It was a dream when I was a kid. You don't have brains back then.) Now if you ask me to do any of that I would refuse in a go. I would think of it as a veritable misuse of valuable time. This is how plans change.


 Still loving sixteen. Changes are somewhat good. They make life riveting.



John F. Kennedy wisely said- 

“Change is the law of life, and those who look only to the past and present are certain to miss the future.”



#SweetSixteenInLockdown!

So, my special day was again in lockdown. Coronavirus hasn't done anything salutary except cancelling the board exams. That is the reason I was actually free for doing anything I wanted on my birthday. Otherwise, I would have been giving the Hindi exam 😰on my birthday as per the schedule. Well, it did something pleasant. 
Though my birthday was like every birthday. You keep waiting for it for a month and lose the excitement the day it arrives. However, my parents perfectly pampered me. My mother baked delicious cakes😋.  I got 16 cards and poems from my parents too♥️.
