Me @ 50

As a part of a selection process of a scholarship test i was supposed to write abt myself @ 50 - What would my close ones say abt me when i am 50.
after loads of folding and unfolding of gray cells in all corner of my brain ... I wrote the 1200 words of globe/crap in about 6 hrs. I feel it was the best i had ever written.
I just give an excerpt of the same, a part which i felt was the best one - that was 'what would my wife say about me on my 50th birthday' .. She says .. "

Being Nikhil's wife i feel that I know him the best !
His turning 50 is a big deal but I don’t think it really bothers him, as he is still young at heart.
He regards each year of his life as a bonus, to be lived to the full - and that one has to justify the existence to love more, to give more and to achieve more. He always used to say that when I turn 50 – “my interest will be in the future as that is where I am going to spend the rest of my life” and therefore he still dreams and dreams big but with open eyes. At times he got opportunities to realize his dreams and times it has been difficult, but he did pursue his goals and dreams with full vigour and perseverance.
He has been a partner for ever, some one you really trust and love. He is caring and makes sure that we nurture each other. He has given me his shoulders to stand on, to reach for my dreams, dreams I could have never reached without him. The way he looks at the world is so positive and so refreshing that I feel that even at 50 the desire to learn is kindling in him. He has seen failures in his personal as well as professional life but he has always learnt from them.
Of course, underneath it all Nikhil still has an imperfection or two. He still never puts things back in the same place where he found them and thus he can never find anything when he's looking for it. In fact, those little foibles are as much a part of him as everything else and these make me love him even more.
“Nikhil, Over the last 23 years, I have found you, and I will take you and the memory of you with me for the rest of my life.”
