Hi, I am Astha, and I
have been successfully alive for 21 years. 'Successfully' for the fact that I
have escaped many of the twisting and twirling of the vehicles while crossing
the roads ( I completely have no patience while I am on the road)…(the reason I
always end up getting yelled at by the person coming along with me. Urghh!)
Any ways, my birthday is
on 10th December, so, I am a Sagittarian. That means I have wildly
racing minds and love change because I see it optimistically (well...usually!)
Also, it means I get to have Christmas themed birthday every year. There are
candles and lights and the Christmas trees and the bright red and green colors
everywhere. It is just amazing. My birthday has always been such a great
experience in my life. I got to have the best birthdays ever, thanks to my
wonderful parents. The decorated rooms, the surprises and whole lots of
people (now, this is the part I started to get least excited as I became older)
I love my hometown,
Biratnagar. It is the best place in the whole wide world. Sometimes I wish I
could just go back and laze around in my two storey cozy home. Dang... Life can be so difficult when you grow up. I have been the victim of
growing up for quite some time now. I had to move from my hometown, leaving
behind all of the things I ever loved. Once in a year, I get to visit them;
twice if I'm lucky.
I miss my parents, I’ve
missed them for the past 2 years, they are there at Biratnagar, and I'm here
with my sister staying at a hostel. But there are some best people around who
make me feel like home. The funniest and the over-talkative people of all
times, they are my mother's best friend's children. Like the last birthday, I stayed at their place. They won’t let the special day pass by myself, and
you know what that is why I love them so much. Now the birthday cakes... um...I love cakes, but I'm poor at
baking them. It always turns out to be something creative, something I wish
wouldn't have happened! Sigh! But I end up eating it anyway! So, no big
deal right?
There have been a lot of
changes going on in my life with the change in the age number. I have become a lot clearer
and wiser, and a lot more careful than I used to be, especially in terms of
trusting people. Yes, a lot of changes. But with all of that, I think it is
more of addition to what I am; more of a modification to some of my behavior,
and that is ok. Growing up doesn't have to be strictly acting like a totally
different person. I am careful, but I still love to hang out with new people,
and make friends. I still want to cuddle up in my mother's lap like a three
year old. I can't now; it goes the other way round, with me keeping her in my
lap :D. I still love cartoons, and can watch it for hours without any care of the
world. But, yes, I do have my priorities set, the things that I'll
have to do for my future. Yes, the over thinking and the
over analyzing part always pops out; it is
a Sagittarius thing you see!
It is the middle of the
night, and I am super excited how my day will turn out tomorrow! All I know is
I'm very happy of what I am today; no regrets, no complaints, no grudges. That
is what makes life worth living, and, that is what makes me stronger and better with each passing year. Ain't that right? ;)
