We’re not old enough for travel discounts, nor young enough to drool over lollipops.

But we can still swoon over dollops of chocolate. We’re in the middle age, balancing the responsibilities of adulthood while keeping our inner child alive.

Middle age means we've lived a bit and made room for the younger generation to shine.

But let's be honest, our hearts still crave the limelight. We still want to bask in the arc lights and feel the rush of center stage.

Disco and pop may have given way to bhajans, but our hearts still beat for hard rock.

We’re fulfilling our duties as parents while also caring for our own parents.

Yet, the child in us longs for the thrill of swinging high and the comfort of our parents' embrace.

Fashion rules may have changed, but we still love our old jeans and new culottes.

Crow’s feet and sunspots might be there, but so are facials and pedicures. They remind us that a little pampering never hurt anyone.

Middle age once seemed like a steady decline. But dil to bachcha hai ji, our hearts want to continue this journey with confidence, knowing the geriatric age is still far away.

We've achieved something, but there's still so much more to explore.

Our hearts remain forever young.
