Harshad Mom Mehta
My laptop idea went for a toss coz some guy had something more productive to do than blogging (can you believe that! productive THAN blogging!!). Anyways, the stories of the marriage shall wait for the time being. This one's about my darling mom.
A couple of months ago, my mom quit her job (and how!) . All of us at home knew she can't sit at home for long. For the first few days, she actually managed to keep herself busy quite well. She slept a lot, tried a lot of recipes, cleaned the dungeon called our house and served wonderful food for my lucky bro and dad. Sprinkle in a couple of marriages, guests from kerala and my mom was one hell of a busy person. Soon, the marriages ended, the house was as clean as it could be and she comes up with this brilliant idea of renovating the house. No one could dispute that coz it's been quite sometime since we spent anything on the house. 2 weeks was spent on that and since the beginning of this month, she has been fidgeting with one thing or the other. She started coming up with ridiculous ideas like starting a PCO, xerox shop etc etc (Mom has this craze of becoming an entrepreneur!)
This time when I went back home she had the million dollar idea! She's going to get into Stock trading. "What!!!", I asked completely flabbergasted. "what do you even know about stocks". Seems my mom had bought a few stocks a couple of years before for 10 rupees, now those stocks are being traded for 85-90 rupees. Enthused by this initial success, she started scouting for more opportunities and realized that there's a class happening on the basics on stock trade in april. She's going to join the same now. And she's found the agency through which she can buy and sell stocks. The initial investment is going to be all the money she earned when she quit her job. As of now, she's sitting at home letting my father run around for all the paper work. My dad, wonderful that he is, is more than glad that mom's keeping herself engaged and is not eating his head.
Sometimes I really wonder what would my mom have been, had she gone to BITS and seen as much of the world as we were lucky to. You never know, as I tell my mom most of the time, "Thanks to your genes, I was quite a brilliant character amme. Education destroyed me" ;)

Even I do agree with Mr.Anonymous..your mother doesn't really fit into Harshad's bill...she deserves a different heading wilde vogel!! i don't what would suit her best but could be something like India's wannabe FORTUNE 500 "Mom" Mehta...anyways to tell you the truth your irregularity in blogging is really a disheartener for all those who wait in eager anticipation to read about you and your daily scoop...its really a pleasure to read and something to draw inspiration from...hope you get back into active blogging as soon a.s.a.p..
?
kp, shall convey it to my mom :)
@Rajashree - Even I have been trying to convey the same to my bosses here but they just don't seem to understand ;) But thank you. I shall definitely try my best to post more often :)
