Wedding Invitation with a Dedication

First Dedication, Then the Invitation

I dedicate my "Life in 20's" to all my Friends!

Life in 20s

More than three decades are over from the day I was blessed in this world. In these three decades, the last decade, 20's of my life was so cheerful. Because it's an era of friendship! Here I am musing over my life in 20s. I dedicate "my life in 20s" to you, to all my friends.

20s the period, I started understanding the meaning of life. It's the period which transformed me from dependent adult to independent family man. It's the period of romantic infatuation and love. It's the funnel of time through which I was directed to my naukri and chhokri.

When I was crawling, my mom made the way for me. When I was walking step by step, my mom held me. When I started running in the street, my mom cautioned me. When I started cycling; my dad ran behind me. When I was crossing kamuthi borders, my dad accompanied me. Hmm… till 20s I was protected in a shell.

20s is the period; I started living life on my own. I proved myself to the world. I comforted my parents a lot. When my parents were worried about my travel beyond kamuthi, I proved that I could live any where in the world. When they were waiting for my call for money, I showed them my salary slip and bank balance. When they were worried about my class room learning, I shared them my life experiences.

20s is the period; I realized the value of the money. First time, I understood what is "possible" and what is not "possible" with my money. Before that everything was possible by a phone call. Whom else! Dad the great! But the self-earned money gave me a lot of freedom. Freedom to spend as I wish! Freedom to change from unbranded clothes to branded clothes! Freedom to choose 100 cc bike instead of a 50 cc moped! Freedom to go for a tour with friends without being questioned! Freedom to go for Saturday night booze! Last but not the least freedom to help my friend in need!

20s are the period; I went through infatuation and love. Teens are sweet. But for me 20s were sweeter than teens. Everywhere prospects appeared. Everyone appeared as prospects! In neighborhood, in bus stop, in college, in office, in temple! Some were long chase, some were short-cuts, some were cut short, some were one-way , some were no entry, some were at unreachable height, and some were barricaded! It's the period of romance with thrill! Unknowingly looking at her! Unknowingly following her! Unknowingly listening to her! Unknowingly day dreaming about her! Crazy life! Life with 1% reality and 99 % imagination! But every time my friends were there, to pull me back into reality. Like the jumping ball coming to a halt, the wavering mind came to a halt at the end at the end of 20's. Got engaged and fell in love. Life with 99 % reality and 1 % imagination! Romantic 20's!

20s is the period; I got a lot of friends. When I started living away from the home, friends started living with me. Colleagues, classmates, seniors, juniors, roommates, neighbors, Oorrmates… friends came in many forms; Not only I ate with the friends; Not only I drank with the friends; Not only I played with the friends, but also I lived every moments with friends. Friends became my companion, Friends became my mentor, Friends became my criticizers, Friends became my support and Friends became my entertainment. To say in a simple word, Friends became my life. It's an era of friendship in my life.

20s is the same period, I bid farewell to a lot of friends. The Last day in CIT, The Last day in MPL, The Last day in HPL, The Last day in BIM and The Last day in GEA like that there were several occasions. Every farewell was painful separation. Emotions ran high; but definitely there was hope of meeting everyone in a better position in future. Every time new friends added to my life. But I lost the pleasure of doing things together with old friends. Old friends are never forgettable. Always they reside in my heart.

I dedicate" my life in 20s" to all my friends! Cheerful 20s!!!

If god appears before me, I'll ask him a chance either to re-live the 20s once again or at least to meet all my friends on my wedding . Here is my wedding invitation, for you, for my friend. I hope to meet you on my wedding.
