From the day I was born till today, I always have tried hard to 'grow up' - as the oldies prefer to mention... I desperately wanted to grow up real quick to be a responsible, sensible and practical human being.... A perfect human being... Someone who undergoes proper education, strives and finds a good job to start a commendable career, shapes up good morals and values, performs at optimum levels without "Phal ke iccha", someone who is always there for his friends, someone who will go beyond scope to make sure that the needs are met let that be a project, a troubled friend, a distressed colleague or a stranger in need. Someone who respects his innocence as much as his maturity.... But I guess I was wrong...
Innocence and maturity don't go hand in hand... If you are trying to grow up and retrieve your innocence, you are definitely heading Nowhere!!!
The oldies ask children to be sensible in life, but they themselves fight like hooligans to satisfy their 'Ego'....
The oldies teach children to share, then why do they forget it themselves...
The oldies ask children to study hard and perform, then why do they channelize efforts to find ways to evade work!
The oldies teach their children not to bitch! ... But that is their favourite time pass in their so called offices!!!
The oldies teach their children to never lie... But they themselves play around with words using them interestingly to manipulate...
Hence, the day we are all set to bid adieu to our innocence.... We grow up !!!
Incidentally I realized that innocence is what has driven me so far... and innocence it will be, to take me forward.... If that means I can't grow up, I would prefer being a child all my life!!!
Think about it!

Nice post Dipankar and great blog too.
I would however not agree with the term 'oldies' because 'old' is only relative. To you I am an oldie; to a newborn you are an oldie. Age is purely physical whereas growth is non-physical(am using it for want of a better word). As such, growth and innocence go hand in hand. For what is innocence but purity of heart!
Think about it. Venkata Vinay
Most importantly, how have you been Sir? and thank you for your advice. I really appreciate and respect your thoughts... Well I on purpose wanted to keep the 'age' relative, because that is exactly what I am trying to explain. To you growth and innocence go hand in hand, and that is perfectly alright, that is your POV, I dont challenge that at all, but I differ, probably because of the few incidents which have occured in my life... Anyways Sir, I am really happy that you read my blog, I am honoured... Please keep reading and providing feedback.
Regards, Dipankar.

There is a little bit of innocence in everybody....as we grow up, we all strive to get mature. In the process, we get lost somewhere between both!! :)
Nice post.
That's exactly my point .... when we feel that we are lost, it is actually our innocence which gets lost.

Dip.. This would be the most Innocent yet utmost mature piece I have ever read..so true .. it made me feel as if I was speaking. What I agree to most is the last part where you decide to be a child forever. I confront my innocence everyday.. the so called innocence that my oldies have established in me.. I argue with my innocence just to know that all I will have to do is to abandon it somewhere in order to Grow. This piece is certainly so contradicting yet so convincing in itself!!
Thanks Navamita... I am really happy that you liked it. Nothing gives a piece more honor than the fact that it was a replica of somebody else's thought process too. The minute my eyes passed through " ... it made me feel as if I was talkin..." I can tell you how happy I felt. Thank you for taking the time to read it and for ur perspective on the whole idea... I really appreciate it. One last thing... dont abandon it!!!
Think about it!

Hey bro, something’s very good to learn in our life time. What can be expected from the oldies? It might be tough for them to mend their thoughts and ways. It is the younger ones growing older and has to tame themselves to be sensible, sharing and to the extent of being innocence. Every person is a gift of GOD… a child in his presence.
Dear its purely masterpiece..y i m saying its masterpiece because i dont's have any otherword to say about it.i really forgot something and d same time recalled something.
keep writing dude...
