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?

I had never been to college (except for 3 months)…like bill gates, like steve jobs. A college drop out at the age of 19, started working at the same age, felled in love at 20, started a live-in relationship, had been in news… and then the hell broke. She left me for no reason (at least I am not able to justify myself)… a few months latter I came to know about her live in with other guy. This ‘other guy’ happened to be my best friend.

That was my tryst with the last year of teenage and dawn of a mature-man-life. It would seem everyone quite a bollywood-ful of story, but it all happened with me. Here I share my teenager life…

Not everyone has a partying night in teenage. My small town has power cut for more than 15 hours in peak of summers. We see guys and gals with tattoos and spikes as ultra modern rich people who are not considered as good-boys/gals.

I grew up as a techy guy, making wireless communication device when I was in standard VI. My love with computers was well known in the town… I would save 1 rupee of auto-rickshaw to buy LEDs and electronic components. As crazy as u r for rock music.

Now that I am 22, and works as consultant for a top US mnc in Bangalore, I look back and realize my past has been good or bad, a learning experience. As a teenager, when our parents scold us, may even slap us, we see that all as insulting to our ego. We see their anger, but fail to see their love. Its easy to be child but difficult to be a parent, this is something we realize latter part of life.

As teenager, we live our parents, we have certain level of comfort, we will never think if we will get dinner tonight or not, we do not care how much money our parent has, we are more worried about that red MP3 player that our friend has bought and that u are not having it. I have been living my own life totally independent from last 3 years and realize how difficult it is to earn money and how easy it is to spend it.

As a teenager, we want everything to happen fast, quickly as soon as possible. We have no respect for perseverance. We forget that when a hard stone is broken by hitting it for several times, its just not the last hit which made it broke, those were continuous hits that made it weak enough to be broken by last hit of hammer.

We people are living someone else. We spend more time comparing what your colleague is having. Holy shit! My friend bought a piece of land near air port for 5 lakhs and its price is now 8 Lakhs, we gained 3 lakhs in a year. Shit, I missed it. Its quite often to hear such things in offices. That guy is having a new girl friend, she is damn hot and sexy and daughter of MD of some IT company, lucky chap yaar… Why cannt we live our own life. We are more busy than ever to compare our wealth with others…that way except bill gates everybody is a poor person.

As a teenager we see 5 years as a long time… sometime in my teenage I was wondering how I would be when I will be 22… where will I be…what will I be doing? But slowly slowly time passed. Anything which tends to take more time, we just leave it saying “its going to take too long” But, forget the quality of perseverance. I have a small advise (given by most, taken by least) for everyone here, never worry if its going to take too long. Time, will pass anyways.
