Golden Period of Life

This morning I wake up early and am enjoying my hot cup of tea with ginger. My 1.5 year old son is still sleeping nicely and husband has left for work. This is also the time you cannot help getting into thinking mode. Thinking about past, present or future. Today, it is the past.

I am 30 years old now. I can divide this life journey in 3 spans of 10 years each. I think about them separately. If I have to choose the best, the golden period, which one I would?

Very first my early childhood, wondering was that my golden period. As a child I had nothing to do, I had to listen to my parents, cannot go out alone with friends, and no pocket money at that age. So am I supposed to happy that time? The answer is NO. But why do I forget about the playing time which I use to enjoy a lot, watching T.V without any tension of studies, playing games for which I don’t have time now, being the eldest child pampered and loved by parent’s lot. Yes I should say that this was the GOLDEN PERIOD..

Now coming to my teenage I had more tensions compared to my childhood as had lot of pressure of studies, choosing the right career, taking care of family affairs, help cooking at home, as an Indian girl supposed to do. So is this the golden period again the answer is NO.

Again am I forgetting something or missing out something, yes friends, it’s the lovely college days in which I made many good friends, go out for movies, bunking lectures and enjoying with friends, good pocket money and so on. I miss all that fun now. I am sure this is the GOLDEN PERIOD of my life.

Thinking about my life between the ages of 20 to 30 years. This is the time when I got married. I had to leave my family behind, had to adjust in the new atmosphere, had to change habit of waking up late in the morning. In this due course of time I even gave birth to a cute little baby boy. Happiest moment of my life still had to face many problems, waking up in nights for the baby, taking care every second, no time for my-self etc.

But, but and but why again here I forget the joy of new life & all new things coming in the way, enjoying every bit of time. Even though I left my parents & siblings behind I have a very nice partner who is so much caring, loving and the most responsible person in my life. I have my in-laws who are equally caring & loving like my parents & not to forget my brother-in-laws & sister-in-laws who love as my siblings. In these 10 years I was born twice as said by everyone getting married is a re-birth for a women & giving birth to a kid is to be called as a re-birth. I have a baby boy who is my life now. I enjoy playing with him, getting tensed for him, cooking and feeding him, love when he says MUM. I find all the happiness in his smile..

Am I supposed to think that this is the golden period of my life??? Coming to a conclusion here I say I have enjoyed almost all my life. Ah!!!! Now I have a ratiocination that the real golden period is the present which you are living…People always feel sad about events in the present saying this is the worst time. And when the present becomes the past then one realizes the real happiness, the joy, the fun, he missed.

It’s the “PRESENT” which is to be called as “THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF LIFE”. Don’t let your present become your past & regret on missing that time. Live your present to the fullest as PRESENT is only THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF OUR LIVES.
