Date and Venue : 20th May 08, Frankfurt Airport
I was waiting for my flight to bring me back home.. Just been looking around when I noticed this Indian mother with her two daughters sitting quite some distance away. The elder one (seemingly in college) seemed to be searching something on the Internet. Some time later, I saw the mother in tears, hugging n embracing her daughters.. It was quite evident that her daughter had got some success in her exams or something similar
This scene took me back to the day when my CA results were out and The Institute decided to offer me its membership.. To be frank, I was more relieved than happy on my achievement.. Not because I didn’t deserve it but somehow I didn’t feel like “on-top-of-the-world”… Just another happy day!! But the moment I called up mom to give this news, I could hear the choking of her voice.. Later, when I reached home, she gave me this big hug and was crying… Then Dad came and - its not a usual sight to see Dad emoting - n he virtually rushed through the door to me… Ohh… I still cant forget those moments !!! Whenever I think of my results, this is the image that comes to my mind..

Not just this, there are many many such instances where I have lived my successes through them..

yes i agree with you sunil. parents do a lot for you. i can relate to it now that i have two kids. its really difficult to live a life without them. this i am saying with my experience i had in my life. you should try to keep them happy as much as possible.
