attention please! if u r a teenager reading this,i'm sure u'll say “exactly da,i know” . teenache happens without exception.what do u feel?if u hav passed this stage of ur life,then i'm further sure that u r absolutely willing to take a trip down memory lane,with me 4 company!so y wait?read on.a typical teen tale,up 4 grabs!
trrring! late night party…ur beauty sleep is now given a rude jolt as the alarm clock screams itself hoarse.u r just about to throw it out of the window..wait.the 'morning walk'aunties trying to flatten their unwanted bulges(while exchanging latest gossip simultaneously)definitely wont appreciate a noisy heavyweight doing the job 4 them.fine.u get outa bed looking like an insomniac moron who's barely had an hour of sleep.a hurried shower,baseball cap/tracksuit 4 the day,a sandwich 4 breakfast and umpteen admonitions later,u get to college(70 kmph,&beggin the traffic cop 2 let u go) 1 hour late. you r confident about being chucked out again..ur luck he merely glares.so u giv a shrug and settle down with growls still ringin in ur ears..
breaktime n every other guy/girl/lecturer is subjected to ruthless analysis by ur gang.[god look at him!puhleez,she's so yuck.u know,that guy broke up with that girl but patched up with my girlfriend..grr..arre that lecturer doesnt know english..he says pyjjiks 4 physics..and his forefinger has to explore every nook n corner of his dirty nose...).so after the entire set of lectures r done 4 the day,loitering around town is the only thing on ur mind.
u walk home with friends i.e,weirdos with spiked greased hair,tattoos-the works...lookin like they r visitors to planet earth(needin 2 take bath i mean) and all hell breaks loose.bushy eyebrows n menacing eyes(dad) corner u! without further ado,ur pals r thrown out of the house..
so what?u suffer from a contagious combo of motormouth malady and phone mania. kudos..chatter away...
as 4 entertainment i.e,chilling,'linkin park' screeching their lungs out..or worse,u joining in enthusiastically is definitely not ur mum's idea of rest n relaxation.but who cares anyway?
tired n spent u finally hit the bed thinking of how to impress the new hunk/babe on the block...
but somehow a nightmare makes a grand entry in2 that numbskull...and u r reminded..u hav exams next week.suddenly the next day onwards,god doesn’t seem to b satisfied with ur bribing(who wants coconuts now?).search 4 refuge..u suddenly remember a place in a remote corner of ur campus..'THE Library'.soon u begin sneezing as u flip painfully through pages of ancient ,dusty manuscripts(they r called textbooks) .now u make a beeline 4 the class nerd. u try buttering.
D day exam hall .that brain of urs (with unlimited GB memory 4 crap) is no use 4 integral calculus. u hope n pray 4 a brain to b seated next to u..what the heck,another guy has come..he’s whispering to u 4 the answer!now u r mesmerised by the ceiling(peeling paint,out of order fan and all),ur scalp gets very itchy,and fingernails turn in2 a delicacy.hehe , i need not take u through the horror that follows(results).after the initial shock wears off,u r back to the same old normalcy(sorry did i say normal,its abnormal na?
at the same time somewhere new thoughts ,new dreams keep growing... a nice thirst 4 life ..a mature being materializes,gaining prominence as the days pass..and ahoy u r an adult with the weight of the world upon u.....
no regrets though..u learn from mistakes..however silly they were and u look back sighing wistfully..the golden era has passed out of reality leaving only memories behind..that teenage was ur gift!
forever young remains the heart of man always...whether he shows it or not!
I completed my 19th year on planet earth recently and can no longer boast about being a teenager.before handing over the mantle to adulthood,I sit back and recall each year of my teenage sighing happily. It may sound melodramatic but lets face it. We all do it. Hence,this post.
Lets get interactive. Tell me which teen year u liked best and why.so shall we start?
