As the saying goes, Nobody’s perfect
RM, why this particular want and feeling?
Yes, nobody is 🙂 but sometimes expectations from children are so much that it becomes difficult…
Aww! Don’t know what to say…maybe the child has had to face one question too many about what she’s going to do when she grows up and this was her way of protesting.
You know RM, I have actually ended up being a nobody and it is true enough that nobody has any expectations from a nobody–but I cannot honestly say that I am happy being a nobody. I so want to be a somebody…
Its fiction darling 🙂
you are not a nobody..you are one of my favorite bloggers, a smart feminist, a lovely person and a wife to a great guy, a mother to two adorable daughters..and a friend who just moved to Bombay..need I say more?
🙂
:):)
Joining the gang of Nobody…count me in….
LOL counted in
Now who is that little girl????
nobody 🙂
Touche’
Wow…
:):) thanks
Honestly, RM, cant decide whether to feel sad or positive about this girl 😦
I would feel happy for her, because she knows exactly how to answer questions which seem irritating 🙂
So simple and yet so very satisfying! Childhood is so very simple and honest!
yes it is 🙂
Hain? What happened? Btw, if you become nobody, you’ll be perfect coz nobody is perfect! Eventually you’ll become Rajnikanth coz Rajnikanth is perfect! 😛 😛 😛
LOL
Did you really make that up all by yourself? 😯 RM you are in the wrong office I tell ya….you were meant to share the dinner table with the likes of J K Rowling 🙂
hahahaha! and I got rejected by two publishers already.. 🙂
Ah…the pleasure of being a nobody. Lovely lines RM 🙂
