Dear Soul, is it so easy to complete this sentence...this is too deep a question...am i correct?
nice fill in the blank...i request you complete this sentence after you find you have got the answers from bloggers...i sincerely request Soul...
btw...good picture...seems near seaside...going slimmer..
A hurricane is on the way,and you're still posting on blogs..hehe!(Hey,I hope it's passed by without any harm done?) --- But,seriously,the answer I feel apt,from my experience: - When you learn to respect other peoples' opinions,instead of always wanting to prove yourself correct:) - You learn to put yourself in other people's shoes, before retorting to any remark they made.
But then,since I cannot follow both the above all the time(Let's say,it's only 70% yes),I guess I'm also childish at times..:)
You are beaten on your birthday, you are scolded for not doing you work properly, you can;t read comics, people feel idiotic to watch cartoons, you can't beat your neighbour's kid,
Ohhh I know what you mean by that! I was shocked when I started hearing kids calling me masi and all that just because they were born to my much much older cousins.
Hahahaha!! Only sleeping beauty might be able to do that...wake up in the jeans that she put on twenty years ago and called Emergency to take them off!
What about grownups who are still in college and school?
"no one knows whether one is grown up or not, it just happens!"
Really? A lot many people seem to know here.
"i saw a child who was mentally retarded, who needed to have support for any actions, but then poor chap, he was told to behave, as if he understood! may be, he was grown up the day he was born!"
Huh?
"the orphans and those who luckily find the orphanages are born grown up..."
Huh?
"when you are not heard, but the one whom you see as grown up listens to you and shares himself/herself with you!"
I really don't understand.
***Dear Soul, is it so easy to complete this sentence...this is too deep a question...am i correct?

Thanks..though I don't like the comment about me "going slimmer"..whatever that means.
@sol: Do u not miss ur school and "earlier" college days..the kind of college days in which th eonly responsibility is studies and "working" as a part of the curriculum is unheard of...
ha! not as grown up as me, this I'd like to assume.
'Shinchan' is a Chinese or I guess Japanese cartoon dubbed in hindi and shown on the Nickelodean channel in India - I so got hooked that I'm still hooked on it and the only ppl who luv me for that is my niece and nephew :)
Nops, I am not a criminial.. Even if my pic says WANTED..
Actually on your birthday you are given birthday bumps with love...! The neighbor kid who used to beat me when I was a kid is now 40 Kgs heavier than me.. See.. haalaaat insaan ko yeh sab karne pe majboor kardete hain! ;)
# You cannot park yr car besides the old mango tree and climb it ..the same tree which you used to climb few years back...
Why ? For one ..a no parking board has been erected beneath its shadow.. Yr designer shirt wd be messed up..the tree is old now..it bleeds from its millions pores..you dont want dirty juices on you..u have gt some dollar makin presentation to make in the next hour ... Mangoes..are u serious...
Your tates bud have refined now..and crave for exotic fruits...breadfruits..leechis...raspberry..avacado..and if you have grown up to be "not straight"...you wd look for strawberries...:)
I...have not grown up...i climb on my mango tree..want some ?...show me me which branch has the biggest one ...:)

But,seriously,the answer I feel apt,from my experience:
- When you learn to respect other peoples' opinions,instead of always wanting to prove yourself correct:)
- You learn to put yourself in other people's shoes, before retorting to any remark they made.
But then,since I cannot follow both the above all the time(Let's say,it's only 70% yes),I guess I'm also childish at times..:)
...you try and find logic in all ur actions, analysis bcums a daily routine n u 4get to live in d moment:(
when I become totally mad
grown ups r mad
simple philosophy haha
when you eat more than one ice cream and start feeling guilty about it.

You have to think about working for your livelihood!

@ Stupid,
What is "sensibly"?
@ Arjun,
I know of many grown ups who don't even know what a condom is!! Does that mean they are still kids?
@ Arjun,
Ohhh I know what you mean by that! I was shocked when I started hearing kids calling me masi and all that just because they were born to my much much older cousins.
@ Ghost,
You know that "lollipops" has a double meaning. Ask Ankur about it!

Huh?
"when you are not heard, but the one whom you see as grown up listens to you and shares himself/herself with you!"
