We change as soon as we say, “Mera placement ho gaya”, only to realise that we’ve turned a lot of eyes green. People who we stayed with, people who've cleaned our homes after a Saturday night party (let’s not forget there’s many who puke). Such people develop a new talent ‘Back-biting’. I am sure we’ve all heard quotes like “Zyaada bhao mat kha” or “maloom hai ab tu bada aadmi ban gaya hai”, when you know none of that is true.
“You can take shit till you can handle it, once the line is crossed you give it back.”
That’s when you become a no-longer-the-same-person.
But, things get worse when you start working. You miss out on parties, evening faf-talks, latest gossips and of course you are always late for your date. There are times when you refuse to go to a party, just because you have an early morning meeting the next day. Your friends feel that your priorities have changed. What they fail to realise is that, it’s not the priorities that have changed but, your responsibilities have increased.
There are times love birds break-up just because they don’t find time for each other. At least that’s what they like to believe. People wit a gigantic ego can’t accept the fact that their guy /girl has started earning before them. Things go worse when he / she calls, and you say “hey honey I am in the middle of an important meeting, I’ll call you as soon as it’s over.” Then onwards you are no longer an understanding or a caring person. Hence you are no longer the same person.
Initially I thought such things happen with everyone, but later I realised a little bit of maturity and patience can help you survive the transition period.
So I guess once you start earning you do lose a lot, your party-animal recognition, important parties where you speak not so important facts, always-there-for-you pals and if it’s a worst case scenario you lose you sanity.
But, these are the times that make you realise the true gems of your life. Friends who always understood you, who never asked more than one question, who understood your responsibilities and was matured enough to give you the much need space. Well I guess they are same people who know so well that for them you’ll always remain the same person.
