I just read a post today, You know you are getting older when… and it really struck a chord….. Especially the one about renewing friendships on facebook, and then not being able to keep it up…… getting on with one’s own life…..how true!! Just today, I met an old friend online, after ages…… and we started chatting…About 5 years back when we were studying together, we would talk for hours on the phone, meet up at someone’s place and study together, but today, we spoke for harly a few minutes before he got a call and my son started demanding my attention… we had to both sign out. We have promised to keep in touch, but then with the kind of hectic life that we have, i dont know when we are going to be able to talk………….
About books, thankfully I havent reached that stage yet…many of my friends still have threir comics stacked up carefully……………..of course no one has the time to read them…….
Personally, I still love to read Harry Potter, and given the chance, enjoy re-reading all the Enid Blyton books tooo…..but when I tell anyone about reading these books, the look I get staggers me…..people ask me why i a reading books that my son will soon be reading…… it makes me feel so, so old……i have stopped telling anyone what i read these days…..
You so right. We don´t have any time for ourselves anymore. Well, we have at least our weblog, haven´t we?
