signs of ageing?

Last night, I was wondering if I am old now. Old enough to behave strangely -
1) I do not get excited on small things
2) I dont, no more, want to get drunk and loose my senses
3) I dont want to meet, chat or talk to many women - thats a serious issue!
4) I have started saving - to spend on next trip but atleast m saving now :)
5) I plan of marrying after two or more years ;)
6) I dont turn my head along with a hot chic passing by
7) I dont play loud music in my car
8) I am more concerned if I am behaving well with others
9) I am getting punctual to reach my work place
10) I am more cautious with what I eat, drink(no Whisky - no Rum - no Vodka - ONLY BEER)

List is never ending but these are the main concerns.. "Naah, m not old. not at all" - this second thought was contradicting to the first one. So I had some immediate ideas supporting the second thought -
1) I wear more t-shirts than ever before
2) I have 7 pair of shoes and a couple of other footwears
3) I still dont sleep and dont cut my nails on time
4) I am scared of my mum catching me while on drinks or while on phone all the time
5) my deadline to reach home is 11 pm only :( (on usual days)
6) I am studying further(already have a Upper First Class Masters Degree ;) ) but I still dont submit my assignments on time
7) I, almost every alternate day, fight with my sister over the property rights of our bed. She is thin, short and a teen but covers more space on bed than I do. Usually with her books and notebooks..she is not supposed to use right side of the bed under any circumstances.
8) Every morning, I tell my mother that I dont want to take tiffin with me!
9) I bunk my office
10) I always try new salon but never satisfed with my haircut........

I am not sure about the results, but I think this debate must continue to keep me at par. A lot has happened in past 3 months, as it must, including some business investments(a new computer, new employee -show off), trip to VAISHNO DEVI, getting caught while drunk, started gymming, tickets to LADAKH(finally), papa bought a new car (Wagon-R), trip to RANIGANJ (near Kolkota) and much more. But highlights are VaishnoDevi Trip, and Raniganj.

I asked Ankita(my sister) in the morning of the day we were going to Vaishno Devi if she wants to come along. NO was her reply. Our train was at around 9.30pm, we had to leave home for station at around 8.30pm and Ankita changed her mood and, now, wanted to join us for the trip. She was really quick to pack her bag and soon we were in train with Rohit(janu).. we paid double price for Ankita's ticket as she was travelling without ticket- we didn't have time to buy it.

We were accompanied by Rohit(Topa), topa's girl friend, Ashesh, Nidhi(Ashesh's girl),DharamVEER, and Seema(Veer's wife) the next morning at NHPC's guest house (courtesy-topa). Journey begins to bhawan and we climbed quite very quickly as compare to always. used VIP pases for darshan(courtesy-topa) and back to guesthouse by afternoon. so much of complications with Ankita's return ticket and still ended up by paying double once again.

I didn't, even for once, regretted taking ankita with me on trip with 3 couples unless topa promised me to not climb upto his girlfriend's seat at night because my sister was there and then broke his promise out of desperation and assuming that I was sleeping and wont come to know.. Whatever..... I saw his quickest of moves, no expressions of guiltyness, no signs of respect (respect to my only ever request to him and my younger sister)..

Raniganj is a small and not so common city near Kolkota. It is better known as "Black Diamond City" coz of soooo many coal mines... to my surprise, its a very very clean city, have some big hospitals, hundreds of gold shops, so many luxory cars (a looot of them), and girls are in majority in that city :D. Not so often I get a chance to meet so many relatives at same place and all eager to see you marrying next..haha... We(all cousins) did a parody at the ring ceremony and I hosted it. grrrreatttt fun, and few sleepless nights. I slept 20 hrs in train afterwards :).

going to Ladakh next month... and I am sooooooooo excited about it...... we will be going by volvo from Delhi-Manali...stay in Manali for a day and a night... take a Zeep from Manali to Rohtangpass to Keylong to Leh.....going through the most panaromic road in India - they say it!

Its 1.40 am now, and I have to reach a client's place at 9.45am. I need to study his website and do the critics to an existing and fairly well developed website - I wish I get the deal, its much needed now... will write again for few other things soon (before going to Ladakh)....
