#admin: lengthy but worthy... please do read. #950 Today is my moms bday. I would like to tell what makes Indian mom happy... Though this is not an confession but an advice from passout student. hope it will change the way you are thinking these days. I will tell you my story.I never excelled in school.I always scored average marks.My parents sent me to the best schools.I did not get admissions into any great engineering college which my parents wanted.(My dad was a topper of GATE in his batch).After college i was not getting a nice job.So I did SAP ABAP certification and luckily cleared it.The cost of the exam was nearly 3.5 lakhs.But still i did not get a job.(I did not have 60% in BE). So i started working at 5000 Rs as a trainee consultant in a local firm which had SAP.I worked very hard but was not getting a raise.Worked for 1.2 years there at 5000 per month.But i had worked very very hard during this period. So I got a job at Volkswagen India as an SAP ABAP consultant. But after three months I got an offer letter from Japan.Even though Volkswagen was a big name i quit as they did not have many projects.15 days before i was to leave for Japan(I had already resigned from Volkswagen India) i was told that the project is off and the job is gone. Volkswagen did not take me back and I was jobless. I gave many interviews but was not getting selected. My life had hit very very low. One day I called up my mom and broke down. I said to her that i was sorry as i was never able to make her happy. She told me to calm down She said I got happy when you walked for the first time. I got happy when you spoke for the first time. Your first day of school. And numerous other things. All our parents want is us to be happy.They do not measure love on the success of the child.Keep working hard for your goals. You want to make your mom happy ? Call her everyday.She waits for the whole day that you would call but you do not. Ask how her day was.Whats the latest gossip in the family etc.Talk to her on various topics that she likes. Obviously Indian parents want their kids to excel.That is because the previous generation have worked very hard for our upbringing. Imagine when your parents were in their twenties. Did they have many facilities/luxuries/freedom/money that we do today ? My mom was lucky enough to go to a local college.Her college was five mins from home(she was told to attend the nearest one).After college if she was not home within five minutes someone would leave for her college to pick her up. The point I am trying to make is that our parents have seen a lot of struggle, and thus if they see you getting all the facilities that they never even hoped of they would obviously tell you to work hard.#passout#married#happy
