I almost can't stop giggling while I am writing here........ for those who have met my mother will testify to the fact that she is force to be reckoned with. Altho most of them (excluding the men in my life) will also claim that this force though, formidable is actually tremendously lovable.
So today is a list of all my mother's alter egos:
1. Lets see there was "Cha", actually teacher, but that's how her students liked to call it.
2. "Techie", came across from the fact that she somehow manages to repair the computer even when a hardware professional can't. Didn't I just say "formidable".
3. Then there was my favorite "Masala vada", where she asked the server in Barista to give her 2 masala vadas. She was really referring to cookies. The best part was when she realized her mistake, she did not even blink once, before correcting herself. Always loved her chutzpah.
4. That was "Science student". Becuz of her belief that only science students like herself are sincere and intelligent children. I can only imagine how very disappointed she wudve been when I did not choose science.
5. The most recent is "Cat70" means Katrina Kaif of the 70s. Thats how dad likes to refer to her.
Another 10 years down the line I hope to add 5 more of my Mom's alter egos, or rather the mile stones of my time with her, the way I like to see her. My lovable, crazy, formidable, beautiful force of nature, that makes me laugh, feel safe, feel loved and cries for me when I don't.
Love u,
Cha aka Techie aka Masala Vada aka Science student aka Cat70 aka Mom.
