20...

A very fine evening, not so sunny and not at all rainy, i made myself a hot cup of chai, random thoughts running in my head. One of the most recurring thoughts was that of achievement. I happened to glance at The Hindu's front page. Photo of a cute guy in Germany's jersey,jumping on another one wearing England's jersey... "Ah, another one of those goals and another team wins, again" i think to myself. And then i look at it again, wait... did they say 20?? Was he really only 20?!?! and then, my face went like this: 8-O
Serious analysis and the result was as follows:
At the age of 20,
  • A.R.Rehman : was in Illaiyaraja's troupe as a keyboard artiste, already a few rungs up the success ladder.
  • Sivamani : finished 9 yrs of his drumming career already!
  • J.K.Rowling : (I'm not quite sure if she was at 20 or 25) gets the idea of the story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry.
  • Saina Nehwal : well, the hat-trick of titles-Indian Open, Singapore Open and Indonesia Open.
  • Sania Mirza : wins the silver in Women's singles, gold in mixed doubles AND a Padmashri award!
  • Leo Tolstoy : started writing... :|
  • Thomas Mueller(the cute guy i mentioned,playing for Germany) : scores the fourth goal,beating England.
  • W.Shakespeare : is married to a lady called Anne Hathaway ;) :P
  • Robert Pattinson : famous for his role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.

  • Ranjitha Raghu : updates her blog three months after she's 20 :|

I'm sure there're many more people you can add to this list, but the fact remains that there's so much you can achieve before you're twenty, and a lot more AFTER 20 ;)

Cheers! :)

P.S.: Thanks to Venki, i did my homework :D

Last one was the best (yours), made me feel a bit better that am not the only one who hasn't done anything that big like the others.
Keep it up!
