I never did think that this was ever going to happen, but it did. I believed that I would never change but I
don't know how and when I changed. I go back five years and take a look at myself.
Here was a guy full of confidence, ready to take on the world, kick
every one's ass(some soft jelly like backsides were special). He would drive rash, take risks, full of energy and the word commitment was bold and 10 sizes bigger than the other words in his vocabulary. His word meant everything and his friends meant the world to him. His life was his group and thus there was no room for any girlfriends in his life (thats an excuse I know). The most gorgeous and co-operating girls would seem, not worth of course. So what was it that was worth the time? The tea at the shaq behind the university, the endless debates and arguments on the benches behind the classrooms or was it the will to be affiliated to not a group but a cause.
Life moved on and so did he. From the cosy confines of his home, his university into a competitive industry. Here he stood today unfazed, just as confident, ready to take on the world and still no change to be observed. Still kicking every one's ass.
Then there was marriage. Suddenly, words like commitment seemed to fall into place and take deeper meaning than just being the ones with a bigger font size. He did not notice it so far. This was the onset of change. He noticed that there was a need to prioritize what he needed to be commited to. There would be times when his commitment would take a back seat because he was now first commited to his better half.
Now here I am. I dont drive too fast anymore. I want to drink with friends but its not a big deal to not drink if my wife doesn't want me to. I look forward to being more at home than to be out playing my favorite sport, no matter how much adulation is in the offing.(the sport changed from basketball to volleyball :D) I think I am begining to gel in and be accepted as just another guy. Not too many highs to be taken from that but that has been taken off the priority list, willingly this time.
Happy Family aur....
