Being in anothers shoes...
This is a phrase often used to understand the other persons view point or perspective. It can also mean being the other person for some time, in the situation the perso is in.This minute, i feel like "stepping into my brothers shoes" Why?? Because he is in India with my parents. And all my relatives are visiting. I used to have so much fun when he was here in US and me in India. Now, the tables have turned.
Coming from a big family, i know that family functions means FUN!! I would give an arm and a leg (just another phrase.. wouldnt do it in real!) to be there in India and have that kind of fun. THe babies running here and there, the elders talking(loudly) just to be be heard over the other conversations going on in the place. Man! Do i miss that. The funny thing is, the "oldies" (read older than me) lose their voice due to the "strain" of talking too much.Ordering food from outside and having a swell time eating and taking food from other plates.....How i miss all that!!!! (sigh)!!

(sigh) i would give an arm and a leg for those times bobby!! we really had fun didnt we?? It was so nice and fun and we were all too young to know that the world outside is a big bad wild world! I loved the hide and seek. somehow, i always ran faster than u guys.. except ajju of course!! hahahahaha
lets not start an argument about the running now!!!ajju could defintiely rnu faster, its something to do with legs i think!! hehee!! but a rare phenomenon, occouring only if we manage to wrest him off his lazy tv watching butt out into civilisation!!!
