Maturity can you QUANTIFY it ?

We have all passed through this stage of Life, when we have all felt frustrated on people calling us IMMATURE...


Sometime back in our early teens when were out of our school and into the most colorful times of our lives "COLLEGE", lot of friends, gangs, girlfriends/boyfriends & above them all HOSTEL LIFE...


We have all wanted to go out with friends to god only know which all places, but when it comes to pocket money we call dad mom and ask for it for the trips and the next sentence is "Itne paise kyon?" and we say "Papa doston ke saath baahar jaana hain" and the heartbreak "College padai ke lie bheja hain ya lafangiri ke lie, dont be immature ur in college now" and we all feel " saala bataana hi nahi tha, doston se udhaar leke kaam chala lete" :)


And the next day again when we call and try to convince our moms "Maa papa ko samjhao naa... jaane do na", another missile comes " Yeah sabb tum abhi nahi samjhoge, Bade ho jaaoge, job lagg jaayegi to maturity apne aap aa jaayegi. Once you become mature u will understand what we are saying"... We wonder yaar abb yeah kya tha...


And we all sink to our knees thinking " Saala aur kitna bada hona hain and bhala yeah maturity hain kaun se khet ki mooli jo maine aaj takk nahi khaai"...  Do din ki maayusi, sannata and from the next day on.. we are back to form enjoying everybit of life, carefree "teek hain yaar jo hain usi se kaam chalaayenge, job lagegi to ghoom lenge, big deal"


Now with about 7 years out of college when I look back I think may be I have become a bit more mature than before, more calmer than before, more sensible but if someone asks me to quantify the feeling of maturity I might not be able to. It's just a feel. I dont know if really i have matured as a person or is it that I have litrally taken those words of becoming mature on getting a job to my head.


Nevetheless I definitely miss those golden days in college and the fun I had right out of college, so much energy, so much fun, the carefree attitude and the feeling on getting a job "Now I can do what I want" Can we do it or not is another thing, but the feel is gr8. 


All I can say is Sometimes its good to be immature :D
