What do i want to be reborn as??

At one of the recent screening rounds for checking communication skills, we were given some topics and were to come in front of the class and speak something... There were many topics like 'Valentines' Day should
be celebrated or not', 'Pakistani players should be allowed to play in IPL or not' and many more.. Something that ntrigued me was "What do you want to be reborn as: Boy or Girl" ! A few
minutes were given to think and we were to come in front and speak!!
After giving it a little thought, I felt I want to be reborn as a boy.... the first and foremost reason being wanting to try out something different... since i have experienced being a girl this
time, i want to see how it feels being a boy. The immediate next thought was, how many lifetimes i might have been a boy.. i dont remember it now... so even if i come as a boy next
time, i wont know why i have been what i have been! :D but as a thumb rule, try a new icecream everytime you visit Natural's, this too is similar i guess! :D And i had to give some points about why i want to be what i want to be! So, here is my list: (completely personal opinion which can change any moment :D and no offense to anyone
whatsoever)
1. Being born in a middle class Indian socierty, i had lot of restrictions during my childhood days (some of them still exist), whereas the brothers in the house were (and still are to a large
extent) allowed to do whatever they wanted to.. well.. with the freedom, comes a great sense of responsibility too... and i want to experience that too... :) Not that girls dont have
responsibilities... but what i am talking about at this point in time is financial independence... though every individual strives for that, it shows strongly in boys.
2. So many things are being talked about girl child abuse and gender descrimination. I want to be born as a boy and do my bit to stop this nonsense. Being a boy, i can take a much
stronger stand and be able to much more than what i can do rite now..!
And last; but certianly not the least, i want to go for a stroll and have a coffee at the road side tapri 2 am during PL's! :) Believe me, this is something i miss so badly! i am just fascinated
by this idea! i still remeber the college days when all the boys would study at someone's house and share their stories abt this odd hour coffee break... That was the only thing that made
me jealous of the boys :)
well.. thats all i could think of for now... may be some more next time... :)

  1. nicely written but I am sure there is lots of stuff very unique to what a girl does and which is also fun ... and yes ... those midnight strolls for coffee are some of the most memorable moments of our lives ... :P

  2. Girl or boy, what matters is whats inside, not how it looks outside. :)

    But as you have wrote this just for fun, being a boy is more fun, one reason being boys can appreciate the beauty of girls and love them, but girls cannot appreciate and love other girls!
    :D :D :D
