Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
Don't you think people.. its really harsh and non-ethical to call babies and kids "UGLY"....... Means.. bachy tu bachy hoty hain na........... and they are cute in anyways at least for me.......
I think i used to be a cute child :D... and no... people compare me with me few years back and now... they don't compare me to my bachpan.....
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
^I don't think people here were talking about infants or little kids....I think it's the age around 7 and over when your face starts taking a different shape.
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”
I think the cuteness only lasts until they are toddlers , then it disappears and ugliness takes over and in late teens the cuteness then called beauty returns in every human being …
When I was 7, one day I wore my new frock and my new ponies and a little smile on my face .. all this tayari for an aunt who was visiting us … she came and said "puttar tenu ki hoya , you look like a starved bengalan " … Please read that bengaaalan not baingan 
I didnt know the meaning of starved and thought it was a good comment i got … i was so happy until my stupid friend burst the bubble for me next day at school 
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”
CB - You are so cute! hehe
I was cute in my first 1-2 years as well but not the child every one was dying to hold or went over saying .. “haye kitnii cute baby hai” .. I was the very normal sort. When i was around 5-6-7 i became an ugly duckling too. But now its all better - people think i have turned out well.
There was an aunty we used to meet regularly till my 17s-18th year. Then she shifted some where and we didnt meet her for 3 years. Now she met me after 3 years and said* "tum toh barri khubsurat hogyi ho pehle kia hua tha.. abb pyari ho gyi ho .. "* I wasnt happy or sad; didnt understand whether it was a compliment or bisti!

But still 7 to 10 years old kids are still kids.... they are still innocent........ We should not call them "UGLY"
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”
^ lets face it , we all got called ugly at some point in our lives :hinna:
I started looking human in my early 20’s before then i looked pretty as a jinn not that its different now , but I look less jinn these days 
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”
^ i think i am in that phase nowadays 
but i am not that ugly seriously… average looking girl… but still people compare me with my sister and say… “tum tu in ki behan lagti hi nahin ho” 
but still people like my style and attitude 
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
teenage years were not good. oily skin, acne, facial hair, no hairstyle to speak of (my mum wouldn't let me cut it) and a horrible way of tying it up. no one says anything because the transformation was gradual but when i meet people who i have not seen for a long time, you can see the surprise on their faces.
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”
But i am agreed with you… when i see my old pics… i always think “uff hum kitny cheap lagty thy and champoo bhi aur us waqt khush hoty thy k boht piyary lag rahy hain”

i don't think the use of "ugly" is offending in this case because it refers to the fairy tale so it's an expression...the ugly duckling...

Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
so, how do you define ugly?
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
i know some friends who were ugly in childhood and they still are :)
Re: “you used to be an ugly duckling.”
I got progressively worse, once upon a time I was only violent not ugly… I might have been a right thug as a child but at least I was cute and seemed harmless… naturally as I got older and the damage got more severe I have become uglier over the years… I suppose I am not cute anymore but ruggedness does have it’s attractions too. 
Re: "you used to be an ugly duckling."
