I am at twenty two
And my friends are
also in twenties
(…23 ,24 ,25… )
Though they not
exactly twenty two
Despite this
we have always
found each other
In Similar shoes
We have
grown together
In similar benches
and similar classrooms
The similar school walls
To similar hostel clocks
To similar college lectures
And similar canteen treats
To similar graduation caps
We have all
Collectively got everything
Uptill now
But we never knew
A tricky age would come
And seperate our shoes
And paths
This tricky twenty two
Now each
one of us stand at a
Different point
Configuring our own
And getting amazed
By seeing each other’s life
When classes used to upgrade
Grade A or D, every scorer
Topper and the mediocre
Landed in the same
next standard classroom
But now we are all moving
With diffent pace
When I scroll the facebook
I see many shining faces
Some perfectly
placed in their careers
Some perfectly
engaged with their betterhalfs
Some are busy sharing
Their honeymoon pics
There are few who
even have now cute kids
But each one of us
Whereever we stand
In this tricky age
Is amazed
And we want
each others shoes
Its not our fault
Its this tricky tweny two
Because for the first time
We are seeing each other
In different shoes
Its not easy to understand this
Its tricky
Not everyone who
looks settled is settled
Not everyone
who looks blank
Is a looser you see
Only different shoes
we are wearing
May be
The only thing is
For the first time
We will have to understand
Our RIGHT TIMES
Will be different and unique
Though we started
with same creek
A friend messaged one day
Do I say yes? Is this
the right time to marry?
The other messaged
Everyone is marrying,
When will I get someone
Whom I could marry?
Yet another messaged
Even the weak ones in my class
Also have a better job
Do you think I landed at
wrong stop?
And there are more
Right and wrong querries
Where my friends may be
But this is the time to live
How can we forget to live
Let this be trickiest if it has to be
The only thing is
There is no
defined parking points
At this tricky age
All we need is to
Enjoy its passage
Everyone of us will get
Our destinies
When he who designed
Your destiny wants
All we need is
to utilise this
Wait period
to chase our wants
May be your career
May be your passion
May be your dreams
May be your small-small goals
Anything it may be
This tricky age has
So much energy and
possibilities with it
Not for forever will it remain
Only we need to accept
That
Things everyone
Now will get
Will be different
And at different time
Till you get your RIGHT TIME
Simply enjoy your life
If you are not having a wife
Instead of feeling alone
Be happy for a friend
who has settled with a wife
Also be happy
For the one who has managed
A good career and positive vibe
There is nothing to be jealoused
Because this tricky age
Won’t last longer you see
Soon again all of us
Will get similar shoes
By next decade
We may again look
similar and blue
Settled with our halfs
A career
A family made
Each one of us
Again will look same
This tricky age
Will then belong to
New set of wanderers
And the energy of
This age will also
go in their name
So, why to worry
Today for this game
Come lets
Enjoy this red energetic
Tricky age
Where each one of
Us have a different page
Happy reading readers !
Share this with all your friends in twenties.
May you remain peaceful and happy at all ages however trickiest one you encounter.
Yours loving warrior

The moments lived are lifetime. Noone knows where the life will take them. How many stoppages will be there or it will be a superfast. Destiny rules.
