India is shining!! And is shining in a BIG way. Gone are the days when our mothers were just handling the kitchen and daily soaps department. Now they are very much aware and alert about what is happening around. They have moved way ahead and their dictionary is not restricted to terms like TV Remote, LPG cylinder or Washing Machine. With time, there have been quite a few updations to this dictionary.
Here is an incidence, which gives the sufficient backing to what I am talking …
Anurag and I reached his place to install a software application in his home PC. Well nothing dramatic happened thus far and once we were done with it, we came back to our office. After a while, Sam asked us “where’s the Pen-Drive??” We started searching our pockets but things coming out were just throwing the error message “no match found” for a Pen-Drive. After tracking backward in our minds we realized that the only possibility is that after doing the installation we might have forgotten to bring back the Pen-Drive.
Now then, Anurag had a worried looked on his face (which generally is a missing expression in his case) and that immediately attracted our attention towards him.
Sam asked “ Kya hua , any probs ? Call at home and find that Pen-Drive is there or not ?”
Anurag replied “Bhai problem is that only. HOW WILL I GONNA EXPLAIN MUMMY TO CHECK WHEATHER PEN-DRIVE IS THERE OR NOT?? ”
But then, he had no other option but to call at home and solve this Pen-Drive mystery.
Anurag : “Hello, mummy !!!”
Aunty : “Haan, bolo Anurag.”
Anurag : “Wo jo COMPUTER hai na, matlab wo jo hai na jisme saare wires lage hote hai !!”
And here comes the first nuclear missile from Aunty, good enough to keep Anurag’s mouth wide open!
Aunty : “Achhaa !!! CPU na ?”
Mind-blowing answer!! But still Anurag didn’t give up and come up with the next trivia question.
Anurag : “Haan , haan wo he, CPU! Ussme check karo aap, ek choti si cheez lagi hogi, Ungli ke size ki. Mili ??”
Time for nuclear missile # 2
Aunty : “Kya, PEN DRIVE na ?? Haan PEN DRIVE hai, aa kar le lo !!”
We just kept laughing, laughing and laughing looking at the expressions at Anurag’s face which are patented only to him, no one else can give such fantastic expressions!!
Soon are the days to come when our moms will be preparing the monthly grocery list on a MS-Excel worksheet or why not ordering the whole kirana online !!
This thought itself was exciting enough to tickle our thinking bones ;) and once again we started day dreaming!!
P.S. cuz when we dream in day time , we code it in night and next day we are ready with a solution! ;)
