Story time:
It's a Sunday in the year 2000, you're 6 years old. You wake up to your mother shouting and scolding you for sleeping this late, you get out of the bed and find out it's only 8.30. "Can't wait to grow up and wake up whenever i want", you murmur to yourself
Begrudgingly, you wake up and make your way to the living hall where your father is reading a newspaper. Your mother puts a glass of milk in front you. "Piyo", she says.
"Bournvita kahan hai?"
"Khatam ho gaya hai, shaam ko aayega abhi aise hi piyo"
You are about to start a revolution, then your mother's eyes get bigger and then they slowly move in the direction of your father and suddenly, your mouth has developed a taste for milk without Bournvita. "Can't wait to grow up and drink whatever I want", you think
You switch on the TV and put on MTV where Aryans are playing Aankhon mein tera hi chehra. Your father comes and asks you to put on news.
"You were just reading the newspaper", you try to protest
"That was yesterday's news, i want to see what's happening now"
You can't believe your luck as Falguni Pathak's melodious voice is changed to the loud mouthed news anchor's. You're jealous of the power that your father holds. "Can't wait to grow up and watch whatever I want, whenever I want"

Fin.
