Now, I know many may have said this before me...but my mom truly is great; her anecdotes:
"Shrutiiiii..... woh capsule mat laana...papa keh rahe hai ki mujhe isme hi sikha denge...kya hai... apple jaane kya hai"- My mother, asking me not to get a tablet for her.
"Betaa...humein update kar do.... message save karna sikha do...(belches)..."
"Ab theek hai Shweta, acche se reh lo ye bachhe ke chkkar mein mat pado"- advising my sister on not having a child till they were settled.
"Shrutiiiii, tujhe agar success chahiye to tu apni saas ko phone kar!... main keh rahi hun bas namaste kar!" -- Astha channel mode.
Whatever said and done: My mom is like Winston Churchill, the war prime minister. She is sent everywhere where there is warlike-critical situation. We all feel that she is finicky and not very comfortable and easy going but in past 5 years she has stayed in Vindhyachal, Bangladesh, Vidisha, Khandwa, Bhopal, Noida and Hyderabad and in all for the comfort of others. This when she has reached the golden age of sixty. And every time she goes back to "Home" in Noida, she has to start from point A: look for a maid, buy groceries, dust sofas and beds, get the phone running, get the cable running...and i wonder...why doesn't she just run away!
