Yes, I’m keeping my word and here I am with my latest post- ‘Confessions of a 20-year-old drama queen’
It’s taken me 3 months of being 20 to come up with this post.
Well firstly, just the number “TWENTY” SOUNDS old. I mean, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen- they all have that “TEEN” effect. But this is TWENTY and not TWENTEEN! So I’m in the twenties now. Yup, I’m no longer a teenager.
Here is a comprehensive list of situations that keep reminding you that you’re 20 now:-
1. You hesitate to reveal your age.
2. You make an overnight decision to overhaul your wardrobe to prove that you have a mature dressing sense. Out go the sneakers, sporty/frilly T-shirts, torn denims and backpack. Welcome the kurtis, sandals and handbag and worst case scenario, the salwar kameez and the sarees!
3. You feel stupid watching teeny bopper flicks. High School Musical no longer fascinates you. Neither does Harry Potter.
4. The auto-driver no longer refers to you as “Baby”. It’s now “Madam”.
5. You no longer feel out of place or weird if you’re alone at a restaurant.
6. While walking through the garden, you resist the urge to sit on the swing, even though nobody besides your friends is at the scene of temptation :) :) :)
7. You are surprisingly interested in business news, politics and the stock market.
8. You don’t remember the last time you read an Archie comic. You only seem to read the newspapers or those philosophical kinda novels which delve into the human psyche looking for a deeper meaning of life.
9. You rarely have your way with a cute, puppy-dog face or a pout. You would rather be assertive and diplomatic.
10. The word ‘Ego’ finds a place in your dictionary.
11. You start thinking about your future. The weekend movie plans are NOT the most important thing on your mind right now. There is more to plan about in your life.
12. You prefer not to eat ice- cream from a cone. You claim it looks too childish.
13. You are expected to make your presence felt in the kitchen, at least once in a while.
14. You are strangely fascinated by yester-year Bollywood music. Yes, the same songs you once detested. The same songs which were once overshadowed by your collection of pop, rock and hip-hop…
15. Adults come to you for advice on various matters. And they actually take you seriously!
As time passes, the cup of life gets filled to the brim with various experiences, mistakes, lessons and accolades.
Basically, what I intend to say is “To be continued…”
Until next time, toodles!

Well, my observations:
1. As far as i know, u do NOT hesitate to reveal ur age(ie, @ Umang, remember?). Not only dat,u also force me to be 20 altho i'm still in my 'teens' *ahem*!
2. Auto drivers still call me 'baby' :( n i doubt they'll stop even after i turn twenty :(
3. I remember u reading Archie Comics n makin all of us wait for u (again, umang) :P
4. I agree with pt.13 I actually enjoy cooking nowadays..face it! its da only household chore u get compliments for, no compliments for cleaning da room, etc. lol!
5. I've written sumthing abt turning twenty too (altho its a little early :P) remind me to show it to u!
Lastly, well written!
nice blog..keep writing.. :) and also see the good side of being twenty..coz everything in life has a plus point as well as a minus point.. :)
Superb .. And all this while I thought I was the only one going through this all !!!
hehehe.. gr8 1! love ur style, as usual.
although dis is a drama QUEEN's confession, i do agree wid some points, especially 11. i thought d day wud nvr come whn u n ur frnds wud discuss wats d strting salary of a 1st attempt CA!
naice.. I wudn relate to most of it.. but thsnks to ma height n ponchits been for years ppl thought ive reached mid 20's . So gotten used to all d 20isms..
Nice potrayal.. yeah i feel tempted to undo all of wht uve mentioned..
Well.....I'm still a teenager for another 22 days. Don't think too much will change after I turn 20. I'll still continue to eat ice-cream from a cone.....specially choco-chips.......You don't have ur age written on ur forehead, so don't worry.... no one will ever believe that u r not a teenager now.......neways the auto-driver will still call u a 'baby'.....lol
