What would you like to be..

I'd say a singer. I love to sing...but I'm not perfect and I think I can get better with practise. Though I've never learnt Carnatic music, I've listened to my sister learn and I think my voice is more suited for Carnatic vocal. And the reason why I chose singer from the list is because....I'm nowhere close to being good in any of the other options...except maybe writing which I seemed to have lost touch of.

Dear Deepak, Coming directly to your query, I think I would like to be an artist, no doubt. In various phases of my life I have wanted to become various things and this included a writer, a poet, a singer, a painter...in fact all of which you have mentioned. As a typical Bengalee, we still have a pair of tabla and a harmonium at home. Its our culture to attend to singing lessons right from childhood days. My mother inculcated the love of music in us. However, I think, I was a better painter and was very good at it and also in handicrafts. I used to bring ace grades in it. People who know me, know how shy I am and that's the reason I was drawn into painting more than singing. The writer in me came out much later in life, as you must be knowing. So, deepak, its very difficult to chose one. I would cleverly choose 'an artist'. The reason being an artist would cover all of which you have stated. You are intrigued right now, isn't it? But I am sure you got my justification right. Thanks. Have a great day. PS: I am sure you would like to be 'a singer', isn't it?

I can draw as you know.I do write and compose poems too.I am an avid listener of music of any kind and I sing like a frog without caring for the torture I inflict upon others.So obviously I would like to be bestowed with some bearable voice.

Alright, now you said to just give one answer, but I would like to just point out that I am already a writer and poet. What I would like to be is a singer. Now mind you, I have a God given talent for the first two. But the third one, well let just say, we can't all be gifted in everything and leave it at that. Now I am very greatful for all of the gifts that God has given me. But, I just love a beautiful song. I do not envy anyone, but, I wish I could belt out a song like Yolanda Adams or Jennifer Holiday, even Whitney Houston. To hear them sing just moves me in a way that makes me long to lift my voice and sing for the Lord. My voice is so bad that I sing through my throat and the only thing that is accomplished is damage to my vocal cords. I know that the Lord said make a joyful noise, but I do not think he intended for us to hurt ourselves in the process. I just want to sing like an angel. Now I know how we are as humans. If I were a singer, I would long to be a writer, or an actor(well actually, I can act), so again I say thank you Lord for the gift of the written word, Amen.

I want to be an artist since an artist can write, can do poetry, can sing, can paint and do many more things... LOL! I think the heat outside is getting to my brains... I am talking nonsense... LOL!

halo, how are you? i would like to be a singer, reason being thats want my name means so i would like to justify my parents choice of giving me that name. And i enjoy singing a lot its the best as a profession.

I am confused. Artist and Painter belongs to same group, unless you are talking about wall painter. I belong already to C for my whole life. I get my education in medical field, but I am doing art since I was one year old...lol

I would choose to be a painter.I like painting and hope if my parents would have concentrated me in this profession i would have improved my skill.still i possess some of my painting collections from school days..iam unable to pursue it further due to my studies and its my deep heart that i always feel that i have lost to prove myself in something which interested me always..

Hi, I always wanted and dreamed of becoming a successful singer. I loved to sing but I did not learn singing. It was a dream since childhood and still I make it a point to watch all the singing talent shown on tv. I really appreciate them and am happy that they are getting such good platforms to explore their singing talent. I just love to hear songs without any music.

I would like to be what I am...a writer. I love writing as a professional because I have a thirst for knowledge and love to share what I discover with others. I also love the photojournalism part of my work because editors often send me on locations to events I might otherwise not have any interest in. My work allows me to meet new and interesting people and to see things from different 'perspectives.' I am self-employed, work from home and love what I do! No other vocation satisfies me the way writing does...and believe me I have had a few! Raia

I would say d/ a singer. I love to sing it makes me feel so happy. I have had singing lessons before but then quit as it became expensive. I also love singing at kareokes and I have singstar at home where I invite my friends around and have singstar parties. Singing is great fun.

I would like to be a writer. Although I write poems too, they are most of the times free verses. Writing has come natural to me and I find it very interesting. I believe that I can express myself through written matters and I take utmost care that whatever I write is articulate and interesting to the user. In all, I love writing.

Hello deepak! How come it's been too long since I found this topic?hehehe..Well better late than never. Eversince I was a child, I would always want to become a writer. I would write some english short stories at the age of nine at the back pages of my module. I showed it to my mom and she laughed. I know I have some bad grammars that time..hehehe..

Oh my deepak! You are making me choose on 4 of 5 of my greatest passions. I want to be all those except the singer..lol..and am doing all 4 to the best I can right now...but if I can only have one I guess it would be the writer. I have wanted it since I was a child. I started writing my first "novel" at the age of 10..lol. I have written this and that along the way but have yet to finish one..I have a lot of stories in my mind.

I would like to be a writer, but I love to be a reader. (it is better to read some (non)sense rather than writing some. (purely my personal opinion in lighter vein. Poetry is not my cup of tea, though I read andappreciate. Singing is foreign to me. I am not a painter, but I collect other artists' paintings. I have some 25 paintings all frames and it is simply a valuable collection for me.

Given the choice & the talent, I would like to be a writer. To be able to express one in writing, maybe in fiction & be imaginative, would be exciting. Even if I could write historical works, I would feel fullfilled. I can write a bit, but lack the motivation to go further. My 14 year old daughter wants a degree in english & to be a writer of some sort.

Hi deepak........nice question. I would very much like to be a writter in Hindi.....I can express my feelings very well in hindi language.....when I was in school, my hindi composition was always read for the whole class and my teacher would give me full marks. I can even write good peoms, and shayari's but writing stories and articles in hindi gives me more pleasure.specially explanation of nature and its beauty.

I'll love to be a singer, I love to sing, but I only do it when I am alone.

I liked to be a writer I, love to write.

I would love to be a writer, even though by technical terms, I already am. I love writing stories, and am some day planning on trying to get my book published (after I finish it, that is). I would find nothing better than to look at my book, to know I wrote that book, and to know that people are out there reading my book. I love the idea of others getting to enjoy a world that was at one point for me only. I also love the idea of entertaining so many people. It's my dream, in fact. To get something published.
