Today, some of the witty one-liners that I've been subject to are as follows
Have fun on your silver-jubilee
You have moved to new exchequer
You are a certified uncle now
So you're 25...huh, get married at least this year
How does it feel after completing a quarter of a century
Go for morning walks and talk to neighbors about their kids

A friend of mine had his 25th a couple of weeks back. He said "Its been 25 yrs of existence without any achievements or accomplishments." This holds true even in my case. And I just happened to read a graduation speech by some uber-genius who says that after 25, its only downhill. Pro'ly the worst time to stumble upon such an inspiring speech.I pulled my hair in anger, only to find couple of white strands in my hand after the act of pulling :)
Apart from the occasional gain in weight and the loss of hair, the last year has been a really rollicking one.
Got a job on campus pretty quick (day 0 as they call it)
Hardly attended any lectures (was there on campus for like 20 days during the whole of the last term)
Played a whole lot of CS in the lab at nights, amazing fun. Clan matches, public server and tournaments....made a couple of good friends too, CS friends :)
Visited some gr8 places with friends and family - Rishikesh, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer etc etc
Won an event worth 40k and all I did to win it was remember a few numbers right
Was the center of our insti's own MMS scandal (MMS is a movie making event, fyi) :)
Got my degree from Mr.Kamal Nath amidst great fanfare
Bonded with old chums after a long long time
Loads of parties and movies during the idle time before joining work
Parted with two very good friends
Visited tons of i-would-never-have-gone-to-otherwise places - Anand, Rajkot, Junagadh, Surat, Vizag etc etc
Bought a two wheeler and also started learning to ride it (yes, i am 25 and i don't know how to ride a 2 wheeler yet)
Got screwed doing sales
Quit work, which was quite an experience in itself. The HRs made me feel like I was breaking up with
them
Have a couple of jobs to consider before joining, am walking on a tight rope...dunno where I'll land
Its been good, pretty good, in a different way though.
All in all, a very happening year, must say.
