A Dream

She wants to get on mountains, while her mother wants to see her on Mount Everest.
She wants to climb a few mountains before getting to Everest. But, since her mom knows the route, that she heard from her brothers and sisters, her friends and in laws, relatives who don’t appear in the daylight of life. She tells me to follow.
Mom, I love you. I love your concern to see me on the highest mountain, but how will I get there without practicing in my comfort zones.
When you cheered me to that highest slide, I screamed and waved in excitement, and you thought that, this was your happiest moment. But then ma, you got greedy. You thought I will wave to you from Everest. But, it’s too high ma. I’m afraid of such heights. I know you’ll train me to climb. I’ll climb ma, but, I’ll climb because you told me to, but not because I wanted to.
Ma, let me climb on the tops I like. Like the time I kept forcing you to let me climb the highest slide when you were scared to let me go, because you thought I’d fall. But, you helped me finally go up and it made you happy, when I screamed and waved in excitement. And ma, you held me and praised me when I came back down. Ma, where is that allowing nature gone?
Ma, I want to climb my mountains first, I’ll climb yours after these give me practice.
Let me study what I want. No IIT and IIM will make me happy like the hobbies you’ve taught me to master.
But the Indian girl, will never say no. It’s respect and love together. She will climb your favorite mountain.
