The guy I know – turned 27!

The guy I know – turned 27!

Yes, the guy I know indeed turned 27 yesterday – ask me and I would honestly say 27 is not young but when posted for the guy I know – I might say 27 is not real old! The closer we get to a number we shift our eyes to an object placed distant – not sure if it is to add road to the journey or journey to road that always existed!

Have read a lot of people who have created greater identity for themselves before they were standing to blow the candle off the cake suggesting they had turned 27 and a silent comparison is perhaps inevitable but on how “the guy I know” assesses himself needs to stay with him for some more time , may be for a second round of review but yes there are details in the public domain which cannot remain his sole property and neither will he compromise on the opportunity to assess the results better before it is shared for a 2^nd time, so here they are.

A lot has changes since “the guy I know” entered into the third decade of his life and it’s unfair to not say that he is very well placed in the last quarter of his third decade on the earth! Well, “The guy I know” is not a rich man yet, nor does he have the best body in town to fault – that brings him to the question - what are those things that he still hold and he is happy holding on to it- Memories, yes ( MY MEMORIES), Dreams , (MY DREAMS) , he says!

“Past is the only treasure that we don’t share with anyone else – last 27 years have been truly mine! – no claims entertained!” – “Guy I know” says

Thankfully, he is healthy if carrying a couple of extra KGs of fat is considered healthy, his vision is intact if we don’t consider ‘work glare’, Has great stamina – if stamina means running to a spot where means of comfortable travel is easily available!  - “Wear and Tear” is only natural – he is 27 now!

Besides his physical appearance – I don’t see any change –  “The guy I know” still dreams of making big in politics, writing  best sellers , grabbing “Bharat Ratana” for tremendous contribution towards the socio economic development  –Yes he dreams BIG and some may appear unrealistic when seen in light of his present attainments but like I have always been saying – “keep trying, keep learning, keep moving”  _ he wants his journey worthy of getting entry in the archival of his past!

I would not make it any longer – the timer on my laptop is Staring at me and rightly so , I’m just an hour away from the mid night  - Good night from “the guy I know” who turned 27!

The guys I know

A lot is unsaid, a lot is hidden, a lot wants to come out & face the sun but bigger than the desire is the shadow of the force that is concealing not just the attempt, or the matter but the whole enthusiasm driving it out - this perhaps qualifies to be called “swimming against the tide”, and a great swimmer that “the guy I know” is, would certainly cross the red line and appear before you in person to tell you all that he wants to!

As I progress with typing this write-up on him, he stands before me quite breaking the walls of virtual world and covers the keys with the fog of his physical presence, “the guy I know” claims to be shy but has accomplished more craziest and embarrassing of the things in his reach, he says, he does not like talking his heart out, but whenever I have happened to be an object in the galaxy of living and dead things making his surrounding, I have either heard him or the nature pas
sing a verbal node to his speech, this “the guy I know” seems to be little too different and original to be true and living.

His story is no different from mine, yours or anyone else’s who entered in this world first being just a combination of strong DNAs uniting together, he comes from a comfortable background, has seen the world, has tons of people he calls friends and leads a normal life but what brings him out and in absolute contrast with people of his generation is the fact that not many people know him.

“The guy I know” tries to learn from the bumpy drive down the road of his life but life seems to have learnt him as a fit to experiment extreme and he does not have a choice but to follow plans. More often than not, he meets fortune cordially but fortune only plays a short guest in his house, his belief in GOD keeps him expecting the guest again but with every successive visit, length of the visit keeps shortening. He is perplexed on what is really causing all that is cause to the effect of the way life has been to him and the only answer he gets is that he needs to dig deeper, clean his faith better.

“The guy I know” is still reading himself and the situation, pray for him, bless him and I would share as I discover more about “the guys I know”
