That was what I asked my Dad...I had just turned 13. And the same question springs to my mind, as I am on the threshold of 20s. Where is that dividing line, that lakshman rekha that separates teenage and beyond...As we go from 19 to 20, we are suddenly expected to become responsible, sincere, and in short, change for the BETTER!!! What a laugh!!! I mean, it has to be a fairytale right?!? Otherwise, how can you expect a lean, mean teen to suddenly metamorphose...another of them ADULT words!!!...into a dead-serious, polite adult!!! What else...I mean, how can someone expect a Cinderella from poor, ugly duckling ME??? But, there they are expecting me to be a changed man, in a trice...as the clock ticks away!!! Will I disappoint them? I desperately want to...and have a sneaky feeling, that I just might. You take me to be a troublemaker...a Jesus, a rabble-rouser? I am not...I am a normal, next-door guy who forgets to call up home!!!
