Yes I have realized, I am not 22 anymore.
They say the biggest discoveries happen by smallest observations.
You know how  Isaac Newton discovered gravity when a apple fell on his head.
I discovered that I wasn't 22 when how do I put it.. Lets say it wasnt just an apple which fell on my head. There might have been a  papaya and watermelon as well. So here's my 2 cents on the matter :

• So the other day I talked to a college friend of mine who also happened to be placed along with me in the same company. Lets call her momma. It was her birthday and she was surprised to receive a call from me. We discussed the good old days . The training which was 4 years back. The incidents of college 6 years back. I remembered that I had been calling her after a gap of 2 years.And in the 2 years momma wasn't just momma any more I also had a papa too . And while I talked in the background I thought of how much time had passed by ( 2,4 6 years ) I mean a frigging batch of Engineers had entered college and got out and then it strikes in a Edison moment and instead of the bulb u see    "! 22" 

•  When you are 22 , nothing seems to affect you. You can gulp down unbelievable amount of food in the college canteen and still have the stomach to go home and have a full meal. Not any more.( This was the most devastating of them all. Age is coming between me and my love for food :(  )

• While surfing the net you end up on a younger cousin/ juniors profile on the social networking site and the profile pic has a actor / actress photograph  on it. The album is full of attitude showing wallpapers and any scrap from them ends with 'z' . Howz you ? Iznt if cool !!. And you think how the kids are becoming weird these days
• You start developing one of the following quirks ( peculiar habits).
• The pillow needs to be the right one else you cant get sleep.
• The bed needs to be clean. I mean what happened to the days when you crashed on the  bed with shoes on and books a spread all over ?
• You get edgy when someone moves stuff in your room.
• Where ever you go and what ever you do , you like to end up at your house at the end of the day .. no sleep overs.

Now if u have one or 2 of the quirks fine! but u feel all of them describe you then dude your kidds are going to say " Bapu Sathiaya gaya"  when you grow old.

Finally the most important of all you will know you are not 26 any more when every other person you come in contact with ... no wait every person you come in contact with say "When are u getting married ? " in the first 3 sentences they say to u .

You are standing with your family in a party ..
Your door ke mausaji shows up ..
Mausaji ( to dad) : kam kaisa chal raha ?
Dad : acha chal raha hai.
Mausaji ( to little sis) : Kaisi hai beta .. ache se padhai karo ..
Mausaji ( turning to me ) : ( As i am about to say something ) Aur shadi kab kar raha ..
Me : ( here-we-go-again expression ) : Abhi time hai !
Mausaji : Ab kuch time nahi hai . Phat se kar le.
Me : Pluck out a bunch of hairs from my head in frustration.

Wait for the best one, one day I am talking to a relative on the phone

Relative : Whts up ?
Me : Nothing  much.Though  I think i have have broken the nail on the thumb of my left foot .
Relative : Oh no no no that cant happen. You have to get it fixed quickly ..
Me : It will grow back whats the hurry ?
Relative : No no , you dont know how bad it will look when they wash your feet at your wedding ceremony.

Holy mother of god Please stop!
