So this evening, I was sitting outside, watching my new little neighbors and their littler friends play.
They were playing "chair hide and seek", which I had taught them yesterday, which me, and my friend had invented 10 years ago!
"Stupid game, why don't we all play cricket?", said 7 year old Manku "I will be a cricketer when I grow up. Sachin Tendulkar"
"Oh really? I don't think so. Even I play better than you", little Tani spoke up.

Wow. Those kids started fighting (So cute!)
"Okay Tani, What do you want to be when you grow up?", I asked her.
I always love to ask little children what do they want to become when they grow up. Well because, I'm still looking for ideas!
"Me? I want to be Miss India", she said, as she started waving and blowing kisses to everyone.
"Miss India. Awesome! What about you, Sahil?"
"I want to be a Papa" (What!)
"Hawww.." was what all of them said, all together
(Well, great thought, though. I had a boy in my class, who had said in 3rd grade, when a teacher asked him, that he wanted to become a papa and a house-husband, both)
"You're next, Ishani. Do you want to become a Mumma?", I smiled. Everybody laughed.
"No. I want to become a detective"
"What will you do, then?"
"Solve cases, like ACP Pradyuman does. It will be fun, no?"
"No! I will be a magician. THAT will be fun. I'll do things no one had ever seen!", Kshitij screamed.
Haha! remember when we were little, and we wanted to do all sorts of things.! Those days when we meet someone, and in 5 seconds, we're playing like we're the best of friends!
"Arre didi, what do YOU want to be when you grow up?" Tani asked.
"Can't you see, didi is already grown up enough, you stupid!" Manku laughed!
"Why don't you shut up! She will grow more na, and become like the badi wali didi"
(Badi wali didi... is my elder cousin)
"Didi tell na, it's your turn!"
And I start thinking.
Me? Well I don't remember. But my mother tells me that when I was small, and whenever anybody asked me, I would say "Scientist" and start beaming :D
But then when I grew up a little, I remember all I wanted, was to be a horse.! They laughed at me, but that did not shake my determination. :P Actually I pretty much wanted all of the above (except for house husband, of course!)
So,
Tell me, what do YOU want to become when you grow up?
P.S. - I STILL want to become a horse!
