Mana chinnappudu, eppudeppudu pedavalam avthama, eppudeppudu ala car lo tirugutama ani anukunevalam, we used to think that being an adult is cool but ippudu aa chinnappati rojule bagunnai anukuntam. In our lives there comes a phase where we still want to be kids but have to behave like an adult. Ade nandi adulting. General ga ee phase manam inti ninchi job kosam vachesinappudu untadi. Being an adult is hard, aa life ela untadi ante…
Intlo unte vantillu ekkada undo kuda teliyakunda undevaallam. Separate ga, leda PG lo unte aa food tinaleka, baita food ki cost ekkuva aipotundi ani, we watch food tutorials online to cook. Cooking kashtaalu start avtai.
Current bill, phone bill, maid salary, internet bill, milk bill, newspaper bill… baboi Asalu ini bills montly mana parents marchipokunda ela katevaro anukuntu, reminders meedha reminders pettukoni bills clear cheyyatam.
Before adulting days lo manam inka college lo unnapudu, ‘Abba ivala college ki velalani ledu’ ani we pull the blanket and go to sleep. Ippudu alanti chances mana boss ivaru ga. Alarms petkoni, music ni motivation ga cheskoni we go to work. Oka mukkolo cheppalante, we behave like an adult.
We tolerate the weekdays for weekends. Weekdays lo nidararakapoina kastapadi twaraga padukuntam, podunna levali ga mari. Office kosame kakunda, office ki velladaniki preparations kosam kuda twaraga levalsostadi.
Job vachina kottalo, istam vachinatu karchupetina, oka stage lo we start realizing that it doesn’t work all the time. Budget plans veskuntam. EMI’s lo digutam, idi next month teeskundam ani vadilestam. Cheaper alternatives chustam. Avasaram ainavi maathrame konukuntaam.
Intlo unnappudu pocket money kosam okate step. Nanna ni adagatam. Job vachaka ala kadu ga. Vachina salary antha mana pocket money aina expenses handles chestu mana pocket money maname allot cheskovali. Ekkadaina spending overdose aite, aa month mana pocket money maname cut cheskovali...
Mana vanta maname vandukovali kabati, mana sarukulu maname techukovali. ‘Amma, nallaga round round ga untai kada, dani em antaru’, ‘Sambar podi unda aipoinda? Asal ilanti questions manam intlo unte adigevalama, alochinchevaallama!
Everything in general. Desk, illu, kitchen, bag… anni. Asalu intlo unnappudu, chinna wrapper kinda padesina, amma antha irritate enduku ayyevaro ippudu clear ga telustadi. Cleaning the mess and taking care of the trash is a herculean task.
Vontlo bagokapoina, jalubu chesina, mana kashtalu maname paadali. Intlo unte amma nanna aa phase lo manalni kinda digakunda chuskunevaallu. Ippudu ala kadu ga, vontlo bagokunna, vanta cheskovali, doctor deggariki maname vellali.
Okkosari… chi enduku ila batakatam anipinchina, we all have to go through this process. ‘I wish someone pampers me’ anukuntune we go through this adulting phase.
