I saw an advertisement of Beauty cream declaring “wrinkles, dark spot etc” as signs of ageing to sell their products. It makes me Question what about signs of growing old apart from looks. What can be the Signs of growing old? Here is my list of things which will help you decide if you have past your prime already. If you have than better to admit it & start behaving like grown ups. Teenage in his/her late twenties is just not cool.
You have past your youth prime if
1. Current Heartthrob of Bollywood/hollywood & Sports sensations are younger than you. (Read Ranbir Kapoor, Leo Messi, Megan Fox) (Google their Date of Birth, u will be surprised).
2. You watch movie in theater without passing comments on dialogues/acting.
3. You have made STD call from PCO at night/ sunday at half the price.
4. Your hairstyle has not changed since last 6 months.
5. You often insist & try to see things from others perspective.
6. You insist on paying bill yourself rather than forcing your friend to do the same.
7. You sometime refer to your kid brother/cousin as “Today’s generation”.
8. Luxury Cars attract you more than Fastest Bikes.
9. You are more concern about World Peace/economy than your friend’s problem.
10. Going GYM is not a Hobby but the work you are forced to do.
11. You feel uncomfortable wearing torn low waist jeans or don’t wear them at all.
12. You can watch TV without changing channel for 15 minutes.
13. Your fun is limited to weekend only.
14. You can watch “Food security debate” on NDTV or economy bulletin on BBC for 30 minutes.
15. You start wearing Branded watches (Tissot, TAG heuer, Rollex).
16. You start reading too many non-fictional books (Biographies, History, and Travel).
17. You don’t know the cheapest SMS plans or cheapest night call plans.
18. Your birthday wish to friend includes SMS or firm hands shake. (No physical violence)
19. You find “Success Quotes” motivational.
20. You do many things because “You should do it” & not because “you want to do it”.
21. Money doesn’t excite you that much anymore. You prefer respect/self esteem over money.
22. You don’t ride bike with 2 other friends sitting behind you.
23. Your best friend is someone who doesn’t even know your nickname.
24. You start behaving nicely to your neighbours & relatives.
25. You have many juniors at work (u start working, this itself is signs of growing Old in first place).
26. You had used floppy at some point of time in your life.
28. You have more nephews/nieces than cousins.
29. You can name 5 programs on DD.
30. You remember the 1992 world cup
31. You don’t find this blog boring & you agree on most of the above points.
