“First is school, then is college, and then is marriage with a baby in a carriage – an oft heard statement that one chuckled listening to during the later stages of school.
Beautifully summed up statement, that is so linear and draws up a process chart for one in life. Process 1 - School, finish it with flying colours, and then get to Process 2 - College - Go through the rigours and get prepared for a mature life. Cut to Process 3 - Marriage - so get married and start having children, and you have done your duty. Wish life was really such a linear and dutiful process.
School – the first thing that comes to mind is Regimentation, while we like to remember college more for the freedom, and yet when we talk of marriage, the operative word for most is Bondage! Bondage for who is again a perspective.
All through school we were longing to be in college, and when in college were were longing to get married, and once married, most of us get into the thought that “Oh, I was better off as a single, what have I got into?
The Grass the other side is always green or better still – there has to be not just a perspective, but the right perspective, so the direction matters.
School – a place we love to reminisce, but not to get back. College – we all want to be there, If god gave us a chance to rewind life and start it from the day we wished to, I am sure most of us want to start if from sometime during college days and very few from during the school days.
Why is that? It makes me wonder. Ask me and even I would tell you that I want to rewind my life back from college days? Why?
