In their eyes...

@40 years old...err...40 years Young!!
Where will I be 20 years hence... One of the youngest CEOs of an MNC or a children's storybook writer or a professor (my parents would love that!!!) or god forbid one of those who are bed-ridden at young age! Wherever and whatever I be,I would expect my critical stakeholders to say something similar about me...My parents, sister, spouse,child,friends ..would define my stakeholders..atleast that's what i think now!
Parents: "Apple of our eyes,that she is, has been an active child, a bright kid at school, a normal but not-so-difficult to handle teenager, a responsible daughter who has never made us lose any of our respect and dignity ... She is my alter ego,born in another generation (MOM)...From her dedication and equanimity, I see a reflection of me in her (DAD)... We are proud to be known as her parents..."

Sister: " We have been through everything... pillow fighting, reading each other's diaries, lambasting each other, complaining to mom about that, sharing secrets, having our afternoon gossips, shopping together , buying each other presents, writing poems for each other, discussing career,consenting the guys we wanted to marry respectively after rigorous evaluation...we still find out time from our busy schedules to hang out with each other... any problem I face, she is the first one I look upto and most of the times I haven't gone to any second person.."

Spouse: "She is one of the best things which have happened to me... a good listener, my best critic and a perfect cook...who well maintains the balance between her professional and personal life..A compeer under the same roof, I would say, with whom i never have to worry about anything being left undone...She makes home the perfect place to come to...Can't imagine anyone better with whom i would have liked to share my morning coffee and oldage woes... "

Daughter:"Mom,my best friend...every body at my school complains of not being understood by their parents...I don't!!! She is a friend in need , guiding light throughout... knows me more than myself... she cooks me the best tiffin and gets me the best birthday presents... I told him about my crush on a guy at school...she says it's ok,but don't take it seriously.. Studies are more important,that's what she says and i believe her! Generation Gap..what's that?...Never have felt any! I love my mom.. :) "

Friends: " She is the one who I shared my tiffin with at school."... "She is my confidante since school times"..."She is the one I went to when I fought with my mom and she felt like home"... She is the one who held me when i cried and missed home at hostel"... " She is fun, jovial and understanding." ... "We used to do assignments together"..."She is a good listener"..."She is the one with whom I used to fight,fight and fight till we burst into laughter "..."She is my best friend till date"...

I love you all...and you people have made my life worthwhile...I wish you could say half of the things I hope you to feel...
For people who have had great impacts in my life... Love u!!!... :)
