Almost a decade ago, a friend asked what the best time (as in age) in a person's life was. I replied, "25." He was surprised that I didn't say childhood. My opinion is that only those kids enjoy their childhood who are boisterous and have the previlige to act rude - they do what pleases them without caring what the elders say. But I was a "nice" kid. And I have always felt that being a kid is very hard; everybody is your boss.
As a teenager I used to think that being 25 would be the most enjoyable part of my life. After all, it's an age when one has finished his education; has a job; owns a car and perhaps even a house of his own, and above all he is independent - he could be a support for his parents!
Today I turn 25. But I have none of these. And after spending my savings, now I am shamelessly spending my father's pension in one of the most expensive countries of the world. My total assets are
Happy Birthday to me!
Too bad that you couldn't see, see the man that boy could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

- a laptop
- a few dozen books
- a few dozen CDs+DVDs
- 46 USD
Happy Birthday to me!
