OLD DAYS ARE GOLD DAYS .......



‘Old is gold’ who told I can’t remember. O – Obviously, L – lovable – D – days ……. That is what I think that this word ‘old’ stands for. Those were obviously the lovable days of my life.

‘The younger days are obviously the luckiest days of ones life. When you become older your youth days become your old days.  You are so fresh but you are not depressed during those days. Old days are energetic and dynamic. ‘Youth’ is a mixer of naughty and beauty.  
No worries or less worries or you don’t care about your worries.  You get tired of nothing.  Gold – glitter and glamour, obviously open, love and lust, dear and direct.  That is how I like to see the meanings of this four letter word ‘gold’. The other four letter words of ones life become so gold if you can add some golden colours to your life.
Education, responsibilities, you like to learn the meanings of all the possible words you hear. So love is a responsibility when you are in love with someone. Agree or disagree? You don’t think that it is a responsibility when you are too young to understand such things.

Old days were the days that you were surrounded with many, so many friends.  Relationships, leaderships and those things becomes ‘core’ of your life. We try to find ‘life’ via those things. And those are the ‘key words’ of ones life ‘or of the days of your old days.

Sometimes things come ‘uninvited’ or ‘unexpected’ ways.  You often struggle to convince others about the things that you expect or respect and always expect others to say ‘Yes’ to everything you say. It takes time for us to understand that it is good to say ‘No’ for some of the things that come our way ‘saying’ ….’Try this’ ‘use this’, ‘follow this’ ‘follow him’ ‘this is the best’ ‘believe this’ ‘this is capitalism’ ‘that is radicalism’ etc….. etc.
Things generally change for better when you meet a good teacher, good follower, good believer, a good competitor, a good explainer, etc but things get balance only if you know to use your brain, heart and mind in a well balanced way. All should come together and should work together, should go together hand in hand. Therefore some get the chance to win their young days’.

 I lived most of my beautiful days in “Kandy’ I love Kandy and missed that beautiful and wonderful city so much. ‘Kandy’ gave me so much though I could not hold all of them so tightly. Sometimes I feel that you need to have thousands of hands to hold or collate all what you get. Sometimes when you think of the things that you really miss you can not even sleep peacefully I believe.  I feel that all who love this city must be thinking the way that I think ‘if you love Kandy should not leave Kandy and should die in Kandy.

‘Rebellious’ - if you like something you want it.  Sometimes you rebel for something so different, for things that others don’t rebel for. Some rebel for a moment where they can fight against ‘hunger’. You should rebel but only for the things that you really want to achieve not for the things that you really do not necessary in your life or for the things that ‘no worth’

You like to think positive.  Everything is possible. Nothing is impossible. That is how we like to think.  You think that you can win the whole world. Some truly win the world, the world of their parents, the world of their teachers, the hearts of their loved ones etc. when one fails others get the chances to win. Reality.

you really do not understand the word 'insecurity' but your parents endlessly worry about your security. 

You try to understand the ‘differences’ in a different way. Then some say you are rebellious. Some say that you don’t know to rebel looking at the people who rebel for their rights.  Why one should rebel and for what reason I sometimes do not understand. I did not understand those things even in those days during my old days.

You are so sure about the strength of your own hands, about the things that you can create, about the things that you can really hold. Also we get the chances to learn about some other things like what ‘comfort’ or discomfort our lives and in what way etc.  

‘Impatient’ and ‘impossible’ ….. Some complain but you explain then about your abilities and rarely about your inabilities.  During these days some of us don’t think of explaining or showing others the inabilities that we have.  Some like to experiment life or innovate new paths for life. Some like to follow the old foot paths that their parents already followed without trying to look for a new path to walk.   Well I still walk in the path that I really love to walk a little that is my foot path I do not even need any shoes or boots I can walk barefoot in this preferred path of mine.

‘Adorable days’……. ‘Memorable days’ …… old days are such days ……  

Sometimes you start fine in your carrier paths and you always like to end everything try protecting all your positions. Paths are for people. No path is a path if you see no people move here and there. Some enjoy walking along these paths, alone or along with others. Sometimes it is good to walk alone but sometimes it is good to walk with others.

During My old days I walked alone and with some others. Some were so dear and near.  Some were so dear but were not near. Some were so near but were not dear. It is not easy to find both near and dear at the same time. 

Every day is a good day but I can not forget my old days and I am not that old to forget those days of my life that brought me so much of experiences ….. Good or bad an experience is an experience. I personally don’t like ‘Gold‘ and ‘Glitter’ but I like to use that word ‘gold’ in a very respectful way to tell you how much I like my old days …… Yes to tell you frankly I am not that young to remember all the golden moments and the things of my past but I am happy with what I can memorize now thinking of my past……
Have a wonderful day!
