My dad fear to give me his nokia phone even for simple call ... thinking that I ll spoil it ... :) as if I am a five year old kid....
My brother does not allow me to turn on his computer in his absence... his fear is that I ll crash his OS and he has to do all the installation again .... ;P ... hello!!! I am supposedly Computer Engineer!!! .... anyways he doesnt care ... my degrees do not have that much of convincing power!! ... OR he loves his computer so much .... wait!! ... not only computer his cel-phone, music system, laptop, i-pod, camera, and EVEN sometime TV .... !!! :)
Anyways so who trusts me and my degrees?? ;) yet another interesting story.... My 7 year old cousin, he trusts me completely... he has heard by all.... his mom, dad, and 99% of the relatives.... "Look at neha didi, be like neha didi ... Look she had qualified IIT; She is Computer Engineer!!! you too one day become Computer Engg like neha didi ...." Okay !!! ... He understood, and I think even in his dreams he can not forget that Neha didi is Computer Engineer!!! ... So??? How to utilize ??? He came to me and asked "Neha didi, Are you Computer Engineer ??"
Me: "I think so !!!..."
My cousin:" So, you know everything about computer??"
Me: "Hmmm... I think so!!..."
My cousin: "Can you start this laptop for me?"
I thought 'thank God!!! just wondering why on earth he wants to know so much of my comp sc skills.... good God its just turning on the system'.
Me: "Why not? Its easy, you see that button ... you press it and wait for few seconds it ll start automatically!"
My cousin: "that I know, but didi has set password and she does not tell me the password... please start it, I wanna show her that you are comp engg!!"
WHAT??? 7 yr old boy is asking me to hack his elder sister's laptop!!!! .... :) ....
Me: "No, I can not do that.... without password I can not start, dear!!!"
My cousin: " Then, why are you computer engineer?? You are of no use!!! can't even start a computer!!"
OKAY!!!... I dunno how to answer or how to prove!!! .... but certainly now he will not dream about becoming an Engineer like Neha Didi, .... not anymore ..... ;P
Now lets talk about some expectations:
My mom thinks one day I ll get noble prize ;) .....
I ll definitely go to Mars where no one has ever been to .... ;)
I ll become IAS :) .... this desire ll die only after I turn 30 ... untill she ll still hope for miracle.....
I ll do a PhD and triple Masters :)
I am earning 1 lacs SGD per month ;P My sweet mom!!!............. SGD USD and INR there is huge difference ;) .... I hope she ll understand one day !!!!
I think most of us share similar misconceptions/expectations about ourselves.... Isn't it ??? :)
