Guys this is a poem from my nephew's English text book:

Please read it, I'm sure you'll love it ...........

********************************************************

You Can't Be That ................. By Brian Patten

I told them:
When I grow up
I'm not going to be a Scientist
Or someone who reads the news on TV.
No, a million birds will fly through me
I'M GOING TO BE A TREE.

They said:
You can't be that ...... No, you can't be that.

I told them:
When I grow up
I'm not going to ba an airline pilot,
A dancer, a lawyer, or a MC.
No, huge whales will swim in me
I'M GOING TO BE AN OCEAN.

They said:
You can't be that ...... No, you can't be that.

I told them:
I'm not going to be a DJ,
A computer programmer, a muscian or a beautician,
No, streams will flow through me, I'll be the home for eagles,
I'll be full of nooks, crannies, valleys and fountains.
I'M GOING TO BE A RANGE OF MOUNTAINS.

They said:
You can't be that ...... No, you can't be that.

I asked them:
Just what do you think I am?
Just a child, they said,
And children always become
At least one of the things
We want them to be.

They do not understand me.
I'll be a stable if I want, smelling of fresh hay.
I'll be a lost glade in which unicorns still play.
They do not realise I can fulfill any ambition.
They do not realise among them
Walks a magician.

******************************************************

Isn't that fabulously written ?????

I felt enchanted reading this.......

How beautifully the poet has captured a child's thoughts !!!!!!!

Imagine, all of us started like this ....

And then, we grew up .....

Sighhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!

@ Dawn - yeah she's really lucky..........the engagemnt is nxt month....in a city 6 hrs drive away from where we live😭 the whole class wants to attend it but...parents............it will be really difficult getting them to agree..especially since we'll spend two nights there.........my mother has agreed..........but my father........will deal with that in the evening

u know this whole rishta thng began in november.........and none of us had a clue!!!!! we joked about S's brother having mock fights about who'll get him.......another of my friends laid a claim on both the brothers ..................and all that without knowing one of us might well marry that guy.........i think that was kinda uncomfortable for O............but now..................teasing her a S will be alot of fun....today O was like S and I ve been friends for 4 years and now suddenly she's my nund! its kinda strange😆

and the poem is beautiful...............whn i was young i was changig my future profession all the time😳😆
one day i decided on being a doctor.........another on a marine biologist bcos i had an excess of nat geo and its documentaries about marine life.........

@ Ashna - this is a place to share your life experiences....................i would love to know about your colg days and how u met your husband......do share with us please?

@ blue .,... this is true ..... whatever the age ..... i think boys will always be a hot discussion topic !!!! 😆😆

lol dawn ..........my story is actually very filmy and full of co-incidences!! but ......ya ...we were destined to b togetehr ....... 😊

i met him when i was in first yr of my college .......we were classmates .......and as we shared the same surnames our roll no.s were juss aage peeche, we were grouped together for sum project ...and bcame gud frends!!

even during the exams ....as he used to sit behind me ......we used to cheat a lot ......or i muss say help each oethr during teh exams!!😆

we were not best of frends but used to enjoy each otehr's company as our group of frends were different we never actually went out togeehr anywhere except once or twice!! but ya ...we used spend to lot of time togethr at a bus stop ..waiting ofr our respective buses!!😉😆

we actually strted to lose touch when we reached our final yr ...as in final yr ......we both hav taken diff subjects .....so we landed not only in different class but also diff floors!! 😭

in final yr i strted taking my car .....and he used to take his.. ....so no bus stop meeting also.......once in a blue moon we used to see each otehr and say hi ......and then actually we strted sensing sum attraction towards each oethr.....but obviously we were big time ghochus ...so didnt speak anything .....beyond hi how r u ......😆...and time passed!!

after college we completly lost touch ............untill one day ....say afer 2 yrs ..i met him in one of my cuzins wedding !! we talked bout our lives .....and thts all ....still cudnt say anything else ......it was just aakhon hi aankho mein thts all!!😳😳😳

after tht also we met for several otehr functions as we were of teh same caste so our social group was same and our attraction towards each oethr was juss growing day by day.............but still we never confessed!!

then.......i dunno ....after few months........in my house .....my marriage talks strted .....sum rishta came for me ......and my dad met the guy n everything was fixed ..only i and the guy had to meet ...........i was very very confused ....but as we never confessed anything i cudnt tell bout him to my parents either .........but decided to meet the guy...when i came to know his name is rajiv(my husband's name)

so i had the doubt and wished tht it was him .........went for teh meeting and no points for guessing tht it was rajiv only .....who sent the rishta .........tht moment when i saw him there........wat i felt i still cant explain .....😳😳😳.....everyhing was fixed there n then ..............i got engaged 4 dayz later .......and got married last yr ....on 1st feb ...........

u wont blive .....my frends still think i was going around wit him since coll ....😆😆..and never told them .........it was very tuff o make them blive tht aisa kuch nahi tha and i didnt hide anything frm them!!

so this was it .......God has been very kind to me ....tht without any mehnat ...he has given my luv and happinness !!😊

Arwen and Neha I really enjoyed reading all about your school/college days..reminded me of my own school days when my romance with my hubby actually started😆😳..anyways its a long story..will share with u all during weekends😳

Right now wanted to ask u all something😳 ...r u'll aware of Slumdog Millionaire winning four awards at the Golden Globe film awards with A.R Rehmaan too becoming the first Indian recepient of this prestigious honour for this film 😳...Its a film based on Mumbai slums and Indian auddience or critics r giving mixed verdict about this film😕..some r saying it has tried to project India as a country filled with poverty and in a way its a film trying to demean India globally..some r saying its just a story trying to show the reality and is a very well made film😳..

Wanted to know whats your take on this film if anyone is aware about it..I m going to watch it this Sunday..so wanted to b sure about it😆😕...if u'll don't know about it,then ignore my blabberings😆

Between I m very happy with the way this thread is marching ahead👍🏼..too good girls👏..I hope by next week this thread completes half century..that is 50 pages at least😉😆😳

I have this to say about the movie, though I am not a movie buff so ignore my opinion. Unique presentation style but content full of cliches.

Ash just now read your story..woww we both hv some similarities in our love story😲...u know me and my hubby r childhood buddies but we actually discovered love during college days only😳...I was never happy when my parents got me engaged at a tender age of 13😭..but now I say to myself "What happened was destiny..and I m not regretting it today" because after 5 years I fell in love with the same man😳...sounds too filmy na😆...

Ash looks like our wedding anniversaries r round the corner😳..so lets run away from here before these girls pounce on us for a party😲😆😉

And thanks for that honest review on the movie Anshu😃...still can't understand the hype surrounding the movie which glorifies India's Poverty😕
