Oh no! Not cynical. I think its a case of lost in translation. The original thought came to me in my mother tongue marathi...but i will write it in hindi..." duniya hamre kadmon mein magar hamare pair aasmaan main tair (float) rahe hai.." hope I got it right this time

yes thats what I would suggest too... now a days girls marry late...I mean mostly..they still enjoy their freedom.
the thing is to remember how you felt when you were young and carefree...that feeling should never leave you... no matter how old you get.
 and one more thing...earlier you marry earlier you become free of responsibilities...so...enjoy that phase too.

Madhvi,

Beautiful poem and photos. What a beautiful tribute to Sulekha's own birthday girl!

Couldn't help looking back  to my own  25th birthday. It was not quite the same.

At twenty five, I was a mother of two,
Younger one not quite one.
At twenty five it was all diapers and feeding schedules,
Who had the time to dream when sleep was what I craved the most!

So my advice to all the single gals and guys celebrating their 25th birthday is: enjoy your freedom while it lasts and go out and paint the town red....for tomorrow is another day!

It is just that at twenty five you don't care about what people say because you are young and now because you have seen so much you think its nor worth it... that is liberation...ditto for me too... I do what i feel like doing.....and its fun
 
i wrote abt 25 because i feel as old as 25, never mind how old I am!
have a nice day

Dr. Madhvi,

You're right, 25 was good and so full of life and dreams.  But then, 47 is pretty good too - I enjoyed getting here through all of those years and tomorrow looks to be fantastic.
