Give Me Another Chance, I Wanna Grow Up Once Again

My one big assumption is that most of you who read this through twitter would have seen '3 Idiots', the Bollywood sensation that played in Blitz Megaplex longer than Avatar. If you haven't, too bad, you missed a great movie, but do read on

Remember that scene where Joy Lobo sang a song with his guitar? Not a typical Bollywood song, I guess

Give me some sunshine
Give me some rain
Give me another chance
I wanna grow up once again

Joy ended up committing suicide, bringing up the issue of India having the highest suicide rate among Uni students

No, I'm not that depressed nor on the brink of suicide. Just been feeling that something is missing from myself. The song kinda reminded me what's missing

I wanna grow up once again


Not that I wanna act childish or being irresponsible

I miss being spontaneous

Doing things as the ideas come to my head

No second thoughts

No plans

Go where the wind blows

Ask a child what s/he plans to do this afternoon and s/he'll stare blankly at you

They just do what they feel like

You get the idea..


Seems that things in life have been too 'planned' recently, specifically time and destinations. Project plans and schedules and itineraries

I didn't realise this until my recent business trip.

Imagine covering 4 cities in East Kalimantan and 5 cities in East Java, all in one week. Great fun, saw parts of our great country where few have been before

The eureka moment was travelling from Balikpapan to Surabaya

No more Garuda flight between the two. Since when? I dunno. So a budget airline it was

Actual destination for that afternoon was Jombang. Gotta get there by 6pm, and this time no airport pickup at Juanda. Why? Long story. But the little 'adventure' of finding transportation was enough to spark me

I think I'll do an unplanned travel with my best friend, my wife :-) See if she enjoys the surprises and adventures..

No fixed itinerary
No pre-booked tickets
No hotel reservation
No lunch/dinner reservation
No destination

A road trip to nowhere
I wanna grow up once again

And after that, back to the reality of project plans and schedules of course

Be a responsible grownup
