I Am From

I am from...

I am from a beautiful country with too many mosquitoes
Grandma's with too much food to feed you with
crazy Indian movies with very catchy tunes
Too many festivals, lots of color and light.

I am from watching TV late at night
Technological advances in gaming devices
“lol”, “brb”, and “ttyl”
Being on line too much, but not doing anything.

I am from scraped knees, bruises, and bleeding noses
Broken toes and fingers, dislocated elbows, and stitches
Visits to the doctor's office, and tetanus shots
Disgusting injuries, but becoming alright again.

I am from running on hot days with blisters and pulled muscles
Annoying the neighbors by singing too loud in the shower late at night
Debating this, debating that, debating this AND that
Reading books for ten hours straight.

I am from traveling across the world
New places, new faces
New beginnings, and new ends
New friends and old friends.

I am from the time when Pluto was a planet
But also from Century number 21
A new millennium
But great old times.
