Meenakshi- Hi Diksha behenji!
Diksha- Hey Meenakshi behen ji!
Meenakshi- What happened, you look slightly off today?
Diksha- Well! I am upset about my mother going for classes, when I go home she is not there.
Meenakshi-Okay! Isn’t that good!
Diksha- Yes... sometimes its alright. But for 15 days continously, its not. I feel alone. Doesnt your mother go out Meenakshi behenji?
Meenakshi- Since I have come to 5th class, my mother visits Naaniji more frequently, I too get upset.
Diksha- Oh! So you too feel the same!!
Bell rings. Children enter for hindi class. All students take their seat.
Meenakshi- Shall we discuss this with Adhyaapika ji?
Diksha- Hmm… yes we could.
Teacher enters the class, places her books on the table and looks up to the students, with a broad smile. Reading every childs face.
Teacher- Namaste to all betajis’. How are you all today?
Tina- Yes, quite good! Adhyapikaa ji, yesterday my mother and I discussed importance of doing homework!
Teacher- Seeing your joy is an inspiration for me.
Smiled the teacher.
Teacher’s gaze stops on Diksha’s unenthusiasitic questioning face.
Teacher- Diksha betaji, what happened is there something you want to share?
Diksha- Yes Adhyapikaa ji. I am upset about feeling alone in the evenings when my mother is away taking classes.
Meenakshi- Yes Adhyapikaa ji. I also feel alone when my mother goes away to Naani’s home.
Teacher- Yes, I can understand betaji. There was a time when mother used to be available to you, all the time. She would ask you for your homework, if you need any help, ask you about your friend’s at school. Tell me Diksha betaji is that true?
Diksha- Yes, it is.
Teacher- Then your mother felt assured that are able to do your work, take care of yourself with the same enthusiasum and motivation. What do you think Meenakshi betaji?
Meenakshi- Yes, thats true. My mother feels confident about my behaviour and work.
Teacher- Now tell me, how many relations do you have?
Diksha- Hmm.. 6!
Tina- 6.
Teacher- How many relations does your mother have?
Meenakshi- 7!
Teacher- Okay! Now just as you fulfil with your siblings, friends, parents, mama-mami, chacha-chachi, dada-dadi and teachers,won’t your mother have her relations to fulfil too.
Meenakshi- Yes! I understand this.
Teacher- So your mother is not only ‘yours’, but also is a sibling, a daughter, a wife, a student, a friend. She too has her relations to fulfil.
Diksha- Yes, I think too can understand this and appreciate my mother.
