"QUESTIONS OF LIFE????"

When you are growing you get different questions in different phases of life. Before you start your teen life, you come across questions as "In which class you are???" or the most common & stupid question one can ask a young child "What do you want to become in your life?" ... Few people will ask why this question is stupid, Its stupid because 9 out of 10 children will give you the most obvious reply - "DOCTOR" or "PILOT" & they will give you this answer with so much confidence & excitement that for a moment you'll think he is going to receive his degree tomorrow.

When you become a teenager, the level of questions becomes different and what makes them different and funny is the psyche of the person asking you that question. If it is asked by someone whose child has passed the class in which you are currently in, you can expect a volley of questions mixed with suggestions & sometimes also the answer itself. To take an example, the so called interview with such parents starts like this:
"Hmm, So you are in 9th class right now, how are you finding it.... before you can reply ki uncle, abhi to maine books par se dhool bhi nahi jhadi.... you'll get the reply also- "Its a very tough class, you need to study atleast 5 hrs a day"... Before you can come out of the sudden shock of 5 hrs, you'll get the suggestion also-"Don't take it lightly, this class is going to decide your future"... you constantly nod your head in the fear inducted in your mind by the stupid son of a gun & here comes the main point which was apparently the reason that this one-sided conversation was started in front of everyone present there "My Son is doing his engineering & the reason he could make into this elite engg college was that he took his studies very seriously from 9th class. He scored 85 % in 9th, 92% in 10th ... bla bla bla & everyone present there get to know all the achievements & unwanted data of his genius child". Now before all the mediocre children present there starts disappearing due to embarrasement, you'll get the final suggestion & the most unwanted offer "You must meet him, he'll give you tips on how to schedule your studies & also about the various books which you should study"..... apart from this frequent question which you'll hear in almost every family function or party, you'll get to hear some illogical & embarracing(in front of everyone) questions like "Ohh(looking at everyone else also waiting for their opinion as well), didn't someone told you that you look exactly like your father???" These jokes do irritate but you start thinking about all those naughty neighbour jokes which you can hit at that aunty(these questions are usually asked by the aunties) right now keeping her son in mind... Some flamboyant people will even ask you questions like "Do you have a girlfriend???"or height of stupidity could be "How many girlfriends do you have???" & these questions are asked in front of atleast 10-15 people(including your own family)... & when you have no option but to smile, they'll say "Ye to kitna sharmata hai"...

Now you have even crossed your teenage life & the interview becomes more gruesome.
Questions becomes more like a comment- "Why are you doing this course? It has got no scope".... "Why didn't you gave that exam??, my son cleared it & look now he is settled in life??"
.... "Why are you are working in a BPO??" & they make face as if you have given them the socks which you've been wearing continously for last 2 months.....

No matter how much idiotic, embarracing or even funny these questions are, but if you can tackle & succesfully answer all these questions, atleast you aren't tagged as a loser in our so called Society..
