Believe it or not, I turned 30 a few weeks ago.. The journey went roughly like this..
0 - 3 --> Learning the basics.. Talking, walking, eating, toilet training and the like..
3 - 6 --> Pre-school… Not really that important in the grand scheme of things, except that had I been bad at it, I probably wouldn't be writing a blog right now.
6 - 18 --> Primary school, middle school, high school .. Also called basic education.. Already, based on statistics, I belong to a privileged class.
18 - 22 --> (Milestone) --> Probably the most important thus far.. Engineering college.. Something that most people dream of.. Could be broken down into 2 phases..
Phase 1 --> The most almighty struggle imaginable.. Makes one question everything from science to core human beliefs to doubts about the existence of a fair God in Heaven above
Phase 2 --> Piece of cake.. A cake so good, almost regal.. King Midas type.. Touch everything, turns to gold.. People think you're the next coming of Einstein.. Found someone to spend the rest of my life with..
22 - 23 --> A year off.. Also worked as a software programmer.. Really don't remember much there of it.. I'm told it was work.
23 - 25 --> Masters.. Of what?? Who cares?? A Stanford degree puts me in elite company.. The specialization doesn't really matter..
25 - Present --> Spent in a job.. Some job or the other.. Just a job..
*****************
The scary part is that the last line could last another 30 years..
