REACHING ADULTHOOD

Dr Seuss once said, “Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.”

Most of us adults have either lost their inner child or are afraid of letting it out. But that is not the case for a 15-year-old. When a kid is 15, he is typically just out of school and readying himself to go to junior college. Well, at least that is the case for people living in Mumbai.

Going to college often means a radical change of lifestyle. Out goes the monotonous uniform and in comes the “latest fashion trend.” College kids majorly try to behave much higher than their age is, which is natural. But when do we realise that we have actually turned out to be what we were pretending to be all along? Truthfully, seldom.
