Unsurprisingly I enjoy a great deal of love from my mom than my siblings. I call her with many pet names like Cat, Ant, Teacher (really History teacher in my own school then) and Monkey when in angry.
I call her:
Cat Because: She is cute, pretty, and innocent. Like cats escapism (avoiding unnecessary encounters) is naturally present in her. Cat is very protective creature when it comes to its newly born kittens. Cats take too many liberties from their owners. All these characters are possessed by my mom.
Ant Because: She is very hard working. She would cook for all five of us (dad, herself, 2 sisters, and me) early morning and get us ready for the school. All these should be done quickly before 8 or 8:30 am. Sometimes my sister would help her in doing house chores. Dad would deal with all things outside jobs like typical Indian family head. My mom should also get ready for her teaching lessons. She would awake nearly at 4:30 or 5 am and sleep late at night.
Monkey, Whenever she scolds me or doesn’t listen to me. Only I have the access to call her like that in my entire family.
Teacher Because: She taught me innumerable things in all my life. Best one is making me member of district library at my 5th grade. It was just opposite to my school gates. I would spend most of the times in the library reading books.
At first I was interested in reading fairy tales, story books; comics (Tin Tin, Spiderman, superman, etc…) like all kids. Later I developed interests towards biographies of great men, encyclopedia, great novels that took me another level
She joined me to summer coaching classes and even GYM.
