Every time me and mom go shopping to the mall, the one think that annoys me most is mom’s unusual habit of boarding the escalator with utmost care and precaution. I really have a discomfort of sorts as to why mom makes this a larger than life experience to be climbing the escalator. By the time Iam up the first floor of the building, she is calmly trying to balance her feet on the padded incline. She always waits for a few moments to pass, tries to gain rhythm with the moving machine’s speed and then finally boards it hurriedly. There is a glint of triumph and satisfaction when she is ultimately moving up the machine. Though every time I see this I give her a tight look as to she should stay calm and what’s the damn deal about, but all the same is repeated the next time.
Maybe iam being a little too harsh on her, and with age the human body takes time to adapt to newfangled machines. As long as she is adapting and trying I should not complain. But what do I do of the sullen expression which clouds my face when I see my cute mommy boarding the escalator with all her military capability!

They call it quarter life crisis
Celebrating my 25th bday this time, the whole of me was confused as to weather I should be sad about the fact that the easiest years of my life were over or if I should look forward to the new chapters life is going to open soon. I still feel somebody who has just passed out of college, trying to carve a niche for myself. I want to go out with my friends, eat till my stomach groins, enjoy a drink and be scared that iam not caught at home, shop for that sexy dress I saw last week at the showroom. Now I realize that the past 2-3 years were in a way the most easy years of my life. I had everythn I ever wanted. An almost relaxing job, enough bucks to be merry,kinda interesting social life, and a lil bit fun. No major worries , except a constant anxiety in mind about what happens next, how will things happen, professionaly if I will be able to achieve something near to my big dreams, will life be that beautiful dream iv always inspired to live. i know iam left with only a lil time for myself now, but I want to make it as liveable as possible, so when I look back these years just bring a tingling smile to my face.
