Hey!!
That's an awesome post. Must say. The transition to complications, expectations, enduring responsibilities...an apt delineation there.
Just reminded me of a dialogue from Devil wears Prada--- “Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke – then it’s time for a promotion."
I am not grinning at your misery...just trying to make it more bearable. LOLZ!!!
Veer saab(Bobby ji) ko is baare mein aur kuch bolna hai?? Kaisa laga kal ka twist????
