Have there ever been times when you've felt that you are completely alone and isolated from the whole world,prefer to live in a cave for the rest of your life,with cigarettes,caffeine and alcohol(or whatever you deem comforting) as your sole companion(s)?
Of course you have!!
What I am confused about is that we were told that this would happen during puberty,and I remember that a Doctor had come to my school and spoken to us about how this was a time of change,etc etc etc. What he did not mention was that this would stay with us throughout the majority of our adult life!! It's only when we are 60+ that we (hopefully) sit back and realise that our demons have been tamed,and that we are,finally,at peace.
In which case shouldn't puberty extend upto we're 45 or so?
Sitcoms like Friends and Seinfeld were such a hit because they showed adults who had issues that one normally sees during adolescence. "Will she like me?" "I can't say no to him" "Is it too early to call back?" "What happens next?" "What do i want to be doing for the rest my life?"
Such issues never leave us. Those who have resolved them,we label as sages and new-age gurus.
Dravid has resigned as captain of the Indian Cricket Team,which is a good move. Like Tendulkar before him,he couldn't juggle both captaincy and batting. Hopefully from now The Wall will make us remember again why we named
him so.
