I think it was in my 4th standard Dussara vacation. There is a big discussion happening between my mom and me. To make the story short -- mom is insisting me to make a habit of reading newspaper daily rather than just some weekly children edition paper like young world.
I was bombarding her with questions Why should I know how many have injured or died in some accidents? Why should I break my head early morning with these dirty politics? Why should I know what is happening in NASA or am I going to deal with some business deals stock exchange ...etc when I am completely happy with my subjects, sports, holidays ,other activities.? Amma I am not interested to know all the sad news in the paper. I cant look at the pictures with blood.? please don’t say me I ll improve my vocabulary ..etc If this is the only point I will substitute newspaper with some other books and gain the vocabulary.
Mom was staring at me with a broad smile... I understood through her smile that she has strong reason to convince me and is ready to answer all my questions. hmm.. i was thinking to escape from that room...but could’nt..
I am reading aloud some headlines and also some brief story line... and HiFi discussions going on from who should be in the prime minister’s cabinet members to what to try out new in the kitchen today. From the latest happening movie/event in the city to what the reasons behind Indira Gandhi declaring emergency. From Kargil wars, SAARC meetings, UNO, WHO to latest cricket matches.
This all happens even today. This wouldn't happen, if she didn’t force me to make a deal to read the newspaper for that 10 days vacation period and then take the decision myself. and she will never force me again.
Thank you MOM … I wouldn’t have been like this without YOU.
