Of Grandpa's Age...

 

I am going to be as old as my grandfather someday. May be my life will be cumbersome with a lot of experiences and body a little shallow with diseases. A tinge of amnesia will be hitting me always and probably i will forget my glasses every now and then. I will be unemployed once again with a huge amount of squalid boredom to deal with. An event of exodus will take place. But that ain't sad. Sadness is, a woman so old won't be rescued from mere sadness. Though i wont be having the strength to redeem my good days again but I will cherish them and leave them to my grandchildren to be glorified until they become participants of this world. 

May be i will read the newspaper thrice to cut off some stingy hours of the day or may be stare at anyone and everyone innocently. Making plans for routine checkups would be mandatory then and not birthday plans anymore. Life is said to be a circle and that old people are just like infants, but unfortunately it is not so!

Then someday soon I will drop down, having people lamenting for a blink of an eye. They won't bid me goodbye. They would have done that much earlier. My cremation will be just like putting aside the old tape recorder.
