Yesterday...I was 21.....
Beatles
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
A shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
{Refrain} Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide
Oh, I believe in yesterday
{Refrain}
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm

Much as this sounds like the lamentation of a soul deeply in "love" with the opposite sex(sometimes not necessarily :D )what am trying to delineate is the metamorphosis of my life from what it was 3 months back. I turned 22 today. And with a macabre sense of irony am reminded of the book Catch22 by Joseph Heller. Without knowing the destination I cannot take the first step forward and without taking the first step forward I don't know what direction and inevitably the destination am gonna reach. There has been a lot of changes in the past 3 months and in the context of my life some of them quite radical. Still there is a sense of ennui around me and a marked sense of lazy arrogance. The most important thing I have learnt is the meaning of the words "priority" and "time management". And like all important things in life I just know the meaning of them cos' have no "time" in my "priority" list to implement them :D.
Also today happens to be the completion of 2yrs of the forum www.pagalguy.com/cat and have met some of the most interesting people from varied backgrounds.
And on a trivia note there is an Ayn Rand connection to September 2nd as well. Anyone familar with Atlas Shrugged would have noticed the recurring date Sept 2 in the magnum opus. Apparently Rand started writing the book on this date 58 yrs ago. And staunch followers of her philosophy celebrate sept2 as the "Objectivist Day"! And 36yrs later I was born with an objectivistic but not-so-capitalistic attitude! you think it's coincidence? I think so too:)
A special thanks to all those ppl who wished on my birthday here and to all those who called up too:)
And a very Happy birthday to the other 17,687,970 ppl with whom I apparently share a Birthday too according to probability sans statistcs :D
Sayonara..hope to be back more often:)
