Do you remember the show ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things’ hosted by Bill Cosby? For those who haven’t seen that show, Cosby used to interview these kids who said the most amusing things unintentionally and with such innocence. Now see those were the good old days when kids were kids-untouched by consumerism, technology and all that jazz. But kids these days…..tsk tsk…


My closest friends call me Twiggy. Not too many people know the story behind that. We were shooting for some project in Dobu’s building and we needed a few kids for the shoot. There was this group of kids playing nearby and so we went and asked them. You know how every group has this jackass who thinks he is supercool? Well, this group had one too. This ten year old boy looks at me and goes, “Oh my god! She looks like a twig!” And I was too shocked to respond. When I was ten, I would never have even thought of insulting a random stranger. I’m not even sure I knew what a twig was when I was ten! And that is how i came to be known as Twiggy...

I was walking on the street today and there was this little girl who was a little over 2 feet walking behind me. Now she kept stepping on my chappals and I almost tripped thanks to her. I didn’t expect a sorry or anything but then she walked ahead of me, looked back and gave ME a disgusted look! And I’m like, wait I second did I do something wrong here? Now I can’t just let that kid get away with something like that. So I stuck my tongue out at her and made an equally disgusted face. Aha! Take that! Sorry Missy, two can play at that game!
