ramilaben and ratatouille

what terrible business this growing up is..you have to pretend that you know everything and that you are adept at handling all things. You suddenly become the expert...the know-it-all. When there is a job to be done, you are there coz you know it all...and then suddenly out of the blue, one day a small boy starts crying coz he has lost his orange coloured bournvita power watch. With all the knowledge and wisdom on this planet you cannot fathom that why the boy will cry and break everything and will not settle for anything less than the watch that he had. Nothing will pacify him and your ideas about the world, about politics, about culture, about people fly out of the window. You are helpless and at a loss for words or action and then you suddenly realize that ramilaben is watching ratatouille....
