Do you fear growing up?

How many of you have Gerontophobia… Still confused what it is??

Fear of growing old..

I suffer from it..I lately realized it.. I am always in the nostalgic feeling when alone of missing those childhood days…innocent days..I wish the time would go slow..
More slower.. No.. let it pause.. The fear will even grip your mind I am sure…

Fear of retirement, fear of ageing and being wrinkled , fearing of losing the days when our parents take our care just like a baby..fearing of becoming adult and burdened with responsibilities when you wont have time for yourself.. or missing your teenage..


One day I came across a Pic in my family album.. I was small at that time.. covered with trying-to-be-stylish grin..
On seeing the pic My mom asked me” Why did you grow up?”
I really took it seriously..
.. still how much ever you faked it still looked cute.. smile or cry in front of mirror now .. Do you look cute..?? hehe
Will you cry for that hanging toy in the shop again.. will you still have that tensed free smile on your face.. Will you still have I-don’t-care-about – my-figure- moment again??
At this moment I am happy again…

But still the fear will keep gripping as my mind says to me..
“ Dude this last second is gone.. It will never come back..” just then another second flies by.. you aren’t realizing you are slowly getting into the infinite deep well of thoughts and mystery where no one still knows why we live… the deepen mystery of life..

All is loop.. As you move on after reading this post..did you realize that moment won’t come again ??

You are ageing.. So am I..

So you have Gerontophobia ??

    Hey Dear,

    nice to read this one too:)

    but you know what in my case its exactly opposite :? I m always in hurry to grow older, as faster as I can. for example when I was in school I was always fascinated with a "didi" who used to go to collage n I used to be fascinated for the appearals and all the fun she used to have in collage.

    but happy realization is "Its all about enjoying right thing at right time and growing gracefully".

To be or not to be

“Oh my God!!” Was the silent fumble from my mouth with my facial expressions hidden underneath as I looked across the screen of my laptop .I was half way through the movie “Schindler’s List ” . One of the most vicious dictatorships carried out by Nazis upon the Jews, I felt a moment of insecurity around me for an instance when the Nazi soldiers were ordered to forcefully vacant the homes of glorified Jews and throw them on streets. They executed them with a bullet in their head, raped women and hurt children at their own will and entertainment. It was a life made hell for them. They were snatched of all riches and were thrown to live into the abandoned room also dwelt by dozens of other Jews at one place. They were enforced slavery and all that they had to do was perspire blood all the day in factory and if they didn’t as per their expectations they were assassinated. The brightest of the bright talented Jews had lost their life ambi

The opposites

I had a friend whom I seem to meet almost regularly during travel to college. I would alight Karjat and he would travel to Lonavla. With this same thing happening over almost a year, we had grown into close friends. At first we used to talk about the weather and how most of the pune crowd is egoistic during travel, who wouldn’t lend their seat to us despite their spine aching from rubbing their butt against the seats. What I felt good about him was that he was always smiling and seemed to carry off his burden of hectic schedule with humor. Slowly we had deeper topics to discuss about and we almost forgot about the seats we had to catch and how sunny it was outside. We started discussing about our friends and personal life. He had turned into a best friend. One day my face didn’t seem to budge and I wasn’t talking much. The day before today, I had failed my exams  and had lost a competition which was backed by partiality. In the morning I had a fight with mom and had almos

The funny thing about exam results..

          Sipping tea in college canteen with beloved friends and fireworking joke that would crack a smile on their face… this can be one of the best moment one can spend during college days not until someone calls you and shouts from the other side “ RESULTS ARE OUT!!”                      The moment takes a twist and its takes no time to pull you back into pool of tension…                       All six of us blasted from our sits and sprinted to the top floor of our college where our result was on!!                      With heavy pumping of my breath I pondered over my result on notice board..Everyone had a falling face.. Result wasn’t that good.. I was highly disappointed to see my steady percentage.. 57 !!! They never changed right from my first year.. I had hoped for a better score..                         I settled down and isolated myself from the crowd because the marks needled me again…I was losing my ever smiling face..                         Few minutes passed as I ga
