I Resign from Adulthood .....

I Resign...

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities
of an 8-year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.

I want to sail paper boats across a fresh mud puddle and spend my whole aftrnoon making and flying paper planes.

I want to eat patries and icecreams and candies and sweets, spillin thema ll over my clothes and not worry about how it will affect the way i look.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade
stand with my friends on a hot summer day.

I want to have 2 full months of fun, frolic and visits to my Nanima's home during my summer vacations.

I want to spend the all my days with my Dadu n Dadi.

I want to jump like mad and dance during rains as if there is no tomorrow.

I want to go back to the time when breaking a 'kinky promise' meant a condemned life in hell..!! (Well.. I still believe in that.. :D :P)

I want to return to a time when life was simple.

When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables,
and nursery rhymes, 

but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what
you didn't know and you didn't care.

All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair.

That everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe that anything is possible.

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and
be overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again.

I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

This is a small write-up that I read somewhere and wanted to share it here on my blog. I have added a few things to it. In our running around all over the city and the globe as a grown-up, we tend to forget all the little things that used to make us roll with peals of laughter and mean the world to us in our childhood, things which we now consider to be petty or silly or even idiotic. 

What is the first thing that we notice in a kid ?? Its his energy, his zest for life, the mischievous glint in his eyes, the running around all through the day and still wanting more - basically the spirit.. the spark !! We should not let this spark fade under heaps of office work and numerous e-mails. We need to keep this spark in us alive no matter what the situation is. We need to shed our inhibitions and throw caution to the winds at times rather than wondering about the consequences. Or else we are in the danger of getting classified in the category of 'Khusat Buddha'..!! Keep flashing your pearlies... (And if you are worried about how look, go consult a dentist, brush every 15 minutes... but KEEP LAUGHINg your heart out.. :) .. :D .. ) We need to quit thinking too much about each and every problem that life brings our way and breaking our head over it. Sometimes letting go, and allowing things to be is essential. As they say - 'Ignorance is Bliss' !! 

Being with kids and playing with them helps us become one, and i find it to be very destressing. In fact it makes me happy.. :D . Play with kids and eat 'Desserts' when u r 'Stressed'..!! (Try reading it 'Stressed' in reverse !! :P )

I don't care if I have a time machine or a gadget by which I can turn back time. Because, I have already resigned from my adulthood. I know being an adult gives you a few things like Credit Cards, Cars, Mobile Fones and so on.. (what were you thinking you perverts ??!! :P), but what the hell.. Paper planes, Silly Dancing, Toy Cars...here i come!! I'm a 8 year old kid from today. Affirmative !! :D :D

PS - I do admit that I Still do a lot of the things that I have mentioned above :D :D , but I want to do them more often, actually more more often. :D :D ..!! Cheers..!!

I ain't a kid, I am a grown up girl!

C'mon its so cool to be grown up ya know...you get to act grown up first of all, make all the life defining decisions. You have MONEY to buy as many candies , ice-creams etc you want.
You can also fund ur own trip to Disney land. Also, no one scolds ya!


Rofl....loved the blog ya karan...thanks for sharing that bit where ever you read it. :)

I used to love all that best friend swearing and on dummy keeping secrets...heehee

Punk Princess

PS: Kids never say they wanna remain kids, they always wish to be an adult! ;)

So if you are wishing or claiming to be a kid you know you are not one. :P

You don't need to be 8 yeras old to cherish these things.. Enjoy the sanctity of every moment.Life it like you took birth today(ofcourse don't let go of the maturity you've got with age-IF ANY ;))..

Thank god you resigned, you were anyway on the verge of going senile. :D

bondgal_rulz said...

Awwww...such a beautiful post!!!

All of a sudden I'm not feeling guilty of not being mature enough. :)

Paper planes, boats, monsoons, pastries, pinki Swears...thank God all these are still a part of my life!

And pervert tu hai, hum nahi. It's Pinky swears and not Kinky swears. :P

And my pearlies tto are always flashing despite my braces!!! Seekho mujhse kuch Bhaalu.

YOU need to smile more often, specially when you know what happens. ;)

Cheers

Frick!!! I still love watching cartoons!

If that makes me a kid then so be it. There are times when i need a break. What better stress-buster than to return to 'innocence'.
Ah! there was once a time..heh!

P.S. McD's is not the best hotel in the world???
:)

Cheers!

*waits patiently*

Deepika said...

he he he... it was really cute..
i think i need to grow up :))

Unknown said...

i completely agree with u !we were taught so much in our childhood..we were taught the essence of life . we were taught that we shd nt be greedy , shd help others , shd always speak the truth . bt as we grow up , we forget these things. we become different ..we become mean , insensitive . we were better when we were kids ..we were more human !
as adults , we r expected to be 'mature' ..to be 'serious' ..to leave our childhood behind. bt i believe that what we had loved ...shd never be left behind. childhood shdnt just become a memory ...! gud 1 ...karr!!!

Karan said...

@ Princess -

u r a 'grown-up' girl.. ya right..!! :P

wht is so fun about acting like a grown up ??? takin your own decisions is good.. but then i used to decide which ice cream to eat.. which vegetable was good.. which burger sucks... which car toy to buy.. everything.. why do i need to grow up to take my decisions ??!! :P ...

money to buy candies n icecreams ??!! i used to get all th money i wantd to buy them frm Daddie .. Dadu .. n Dadi.. so wht th heck..!!

n no one scolds you now that u are an adult ??? wait.. did i read it right... oh i did... now i hv to laugh... :P ... no mattr hw much we grow up.. we remains kids to our parents.. n they r going to scold u fr wht u do wrong.. evn if u hv ur own grand kids..!!

glad that u likd this bit.. that is th exact reason why i shared it.. to hv fun with all my friends.. :) ..

keeping secrets rocks.. :D ...

tch tch.. humans... always want things they dont hv..!! :P ...

I AM A KID... Affirmative.. :D

Karan said...

@ GS -

Karan said...

@ Netika -

completely true.. :) .. we need to make th most of all the small joys that come our way wach n evry day... such joys r invaluable... in fact this is wht changes whn we grow up.. what used to mean th worl to us as kids becoms petty as we grow up...

and maturity ?? eh ... what that ??!! :P ... im nt on th verge of anything... YOU ARE senile..!! :P

Karan said...

Cheers...

Karan said...

@ GS -

its coming up today... :) .. was caught up in a few things ovr th past few days..
'sorry fr th interruption.. Enjoy...' MTV Ishtyle.. :P ...

Karan said...

@ Deepika..

Thanks.. :) ..

n no.. u dont need to grow up.. think about aging backwards.. :D ...

Karan said...

@ Devika...

i kno wht u r saying.. many times we do forget our virtues and do inhumane n hurtful things... that is th exact reason why i wrote this post.. being an adult compels us to do such things.. many times th situations are such that we hv to giv tit for tat... none of this was thr in our childhood...

but stil we do need to try and keep our virtues intact while living the life as an adult... growin up while keeping our values intact...

and evn if we r expected to b mature... we can always be a kid in certain situations.. strike a balance.. and keep that 'spark' in us alive.. and as u said.. nt let our childhood become only a memory... :) ...

Thank you for visiting my blog n joining the followers list... :) ... do keep visiting.. :)

Adisha said...

To be a child again .... What utter bliss ... I truly believe we don't appreciate those joys till we grow up ...

Thus, I enjoy being a child totally and completely Now .... So that I have NO regrets later....

Thus, I usually act like a 8 yr old with hubby sweetest. I run around, teasing him. I eeat sweets now and make sure I enjoy a hot summer's day ... I dance around in the rains and feel Every drop touchign my skin...Life is uncomplicated now , after Yearssss... and I'm thankful for that !!

Karan said...

@ Deepika.. i agree.. u aren't.. :P .. u kiddo..!! :P

Karan said...

@ Pink Orchid... :)

oh i'm so glad that it did... :) .. its so difficult to make someone smile... thank you so much.. :) ...

Karan said...

@ Adisha.. i totally agree.. we don't realize the value of what we have in our childhood till we grow up... :( ... n this is true fr so many othr things too... we don't realize their value till we lose them..!!

oh what u wrote made me smile so much... :) .. most ppl say that they r kids at heart.. but nvr wud behave like kids... hesitate to sit n hv fun on swings in a park.. or dance in the rain.. or play with other kids... and all this evn before getting married... you do it with your husband..!!! WOW... im so glad to know this.. :D ... runnin around.. teasing.. having sweets.. dancing in rains... awww... hw sweet... :) .. make sure you do smething to ensure that 'kahin nazar na lag jaaye' .. :) ... Touch wood..!! :) ...

cheers...
