I bet that after reading this news, most of the people would have wished.. kaash main 20 saal baad paida hua hota" (You can replace that 20 saal with the number of years between now and the time you passed out of class X)

I know most of the females would say i just passed out of class X couple of years back! "Meri twacha se meri umra ka pata hi nahi chalta!!"

But on a serious note, it would prevent many parents from doing the grim sin of telling lies to their kids! "Beta bas 10th mein 90% marks le aa.. teri to life settle ho jayegi!!" And the poor kids study day and night, totally unaware of the next few preachings coming in the next few years

Beta.. 11th mein science mil jaye.. to life settle ho jayegi!
Beta IIT mein admission ho jaye to life settle ho jayegi!
Beta college mein 8 ka CGPA aa jaye to life ban jayegi!
Beta bas teri ek acchi naukri lag jaye.. to life ban jayegi!
Beta CAT mein 100 percentile le aa.. kissi ek IIM mein ho jaye to life ban jayegi!
Beta meri marzi ki ladki se shaadi kar le .. teri life ban jayegi!!

Ok .. leave about the sentences in between.. but first and the last sentence to sabhi ne suna hoga! Although i am not particularly interested in painting but whenever my mom asks me to study for MBA (CAT , GMAT and other blah blah) i give the example of the kid in tare zameen par! Dekho maa.. wo bhi meri tarah padai likhai mein kamzor tha.. fir bhi uska hidden talent(painting) use kitni door le gaya!

Chataaak! And then comes a flying chappal and hits me on the head!

Kaash main 50 saal pehle paida hu hota .. jab MBA naam ki koi cheez hi nahi thi :( !!!
