I love plagiarism, the title says it doesn't it? Well, if you don't see it then you haven't been following advertisements enough!
The 7 classic signs of aging...
1. You meet a friend. The conversation starts off like this... "Hey, wassup? How's work?"
I'm guessing that "wassup" is the modern equivalent of the Anglo Saxon "How do you do". The most appropriate response to "How do you do" is "How do you do" itself. I feel that people who use the word "wassup" as a greeting should get accustomed to receiving that as the reply.
Either that or stop using it!
2. Alternately, all your thoughts can be mapped (directly or indirectly) to 2 of the universe's most-asked questions - "What am I doing in my life?", and "What am I going to do?". An amazing insight into our myopic view in the infinite universe...
3. If you have the habit of writing a daily diary and you happen to go through the "dear diary" moments. That by itself is a sign.
4. You see those moments passing before your eyes as if it were eons ago that you had read them to even recall them. The worst is when you feel like you were back in school in History class!
5. Its at least once in a month, when the weekend is dedicated to "cleaning" or at least the thought sways into your mind. I love loops, loopholes. The effect of writing the ocassional piece of code at work is seen here, perhaps. These bouts of cleaning lead you to finding the diary. Loop to point 3 and 4, just dont form an infinite loop!
6. You listen to a song, a not-so-recent song. You remember the year that song released. You remember almost dreamily all the people around you when you listened to that song back then. You try to imagine how different you looked back then (The Time Machine, where's my time machine....Oh yes, somebody stole mine to answer this question - "If the universe were to start over from scratch, and all the conditions that created life were to happen again, would life spring up?").
7. This last one came up just as I had my lunch. Every third topic you discuss over lunch involves crazy bosses or politics. This one's like the last nail on the coffin. I recall about (No, I don't want to put in a number here) years ago, I hated it when the elders at home would want to watch a redundant, cyclic (alliteration?) news programme and would not want me to watch the cartoon. I cant recall how many years it has been since I watched cartoons...(Thank god for sports channels).
Last week, I was watching over my 6 year old nephew and his friend. The friend came up to me asking me to resolve the little situation they had there. He addressed me as uncle. I can't deny that I was a bit taken aback by that. My nephew immediately came to my rescue or I thought. He corrected his friend, saying, "he's anna not uncle! Uncle is only after marriage!!!".
Well indeed, even if Einstien's theory of relativity were to be false or proved wrong, I see all the time, that time is relative....
