So how do you react when a college going kid calls you uncle? Do you feel flabbergasted? Or do you simply ignore? However it is not very easy to overlook such observation from a third person's point of view.
I wanted to go home and there was no company provided car available. So got an auto for half the way to home and then boarded a city bus. And surprisingly it was a Mercedes-Benz AC bus. (Surprised because going by PMT's standards, this is 'height' of what they can achieve!)
There were two young students in the bus. One of them, casually, without any hint of being mean, asked me to move forward so that they can get decent place. He just said - uncle thoda sarko. Other guy questioned him on 'uncle' part. The first one said - arre yaar uske to dadhhi me bhi safed bal hai, uncle bolega to kya hua? And they were talking with addition of laughter. I just overheard their conversation.
Recently a survey was done and it was found out that 40% of men actually fear of grey hair. Am I scared same way? No certainly not. It is nothing to be 'unhappy'.
Traditionally seen as mark of distinction and somewhat respect, going grey is a reality of life. It's just that grey hairs are now in early thirties and not after forty-five! It is believed that previous generation went grey in their forties.
I feel age is in the mind. It is not about being young and old, biologically. Age is determined by the enthusiasm and passion for life.
