The benefits of turning 53 are many. I am now eligible for all these-
You are no longer a teenager and you know it. You are an uncle/aunty for most of those wet-behind the ears people, who think you are 'respect-worthy'.
Most dyes (and baldness cures?) have been tried out and now you get to accept the grey hair. Makes you graceful.
You have money in the bank. If you don't, you no longer hope for it to be there.
You stop ranting about how bad the world is, because you couldn't change it one bit in all this time.
You have some unknown riches in terms of progeny- it's not Greek. It means sons or daughters.
You have already worked for long enough not to get disillusioned by the workplace. Scott Adams only brings on gentle laughter, not an uproarious one.
You start giving advice, which no one wants, but you still give it anyway.
You can drink with your own money instead of your parents'.
You have to worry only for a few more years, if you are the worrying type.
You can make spelling mistakes on fb posts, and the reader understands..and forgives you.
You can blog to your heart's content about issues completely irrelevant to everybody else..hope all is forgiven?

Not bad at all Raja. You've made 53 an aspirational number. I'm sure a lot of people cannot wait to get to 53 after reading your blog.
"You are so over the hill, you should start climbing the next one"just read somewhere.
or if you prefer - its all downhill from here
It's nice in the hilly region..what we call a hill station in desi lingo. Hari, I hope so. Will continue to inspire the wet-behind-the-(y)ears gen.
