My mom is a wonder woman!!

Everyones’ moms are superheros, but mine is a Wonder Woman!! Why?

Here is why!!

She was the the first of 6 kids; youngest two being her brothers.

She has 2 kids; younger one being awfully naughty since her birth.

She lived in a house full of people and cooked for all even at her 8th month of pregnancy.

She learnt to stitch and other crafts from her mother and others.

She worked in her teens whereas I am still studying in my twenties.

And the list continues…

Today I will tell you all a small story of my amma about how she learnt to drive.

A decade and half ago, we moved to a new house. We were only 3 living at new place. My amma is a social person. She had associated herself with varieties of activities, such as having their own self help group for women, putting up stalls and exhibition once a year, conducting tailoring classes to women and many more. She has engaged herself in most of the things she liked and Appa never said no. After we moved in to a new house, she had a little more time and tried to do little more things until one day she felt that she had to learn to drive. In the year 2010, she first went to her driving class near by and took all her 24 classes. She did envy driving and gave her test and she passed tough she had no faith that she would!! She was so happy that day!!

Later she encouraged my Appa, who was at his 40s to learn driving. My Appa being a quick learner, learnt to drive within 14 classes of his and the remaining classes were taken by my amma again. Now that both my parents know to drive, they bought a second hand car as they felt they had to practice enough before they buy a new one. Amma drives the car along with Appa but unfortunately, one day a truck hit the car when amma was driving and amma even today still fears to drive.

Then came another chapter of her life where my amma was inspired by her own sister who is a Sangeetha teacher and was jealous of the kindergarten teacher who learnt it when her husband didn’t agree to teach her anymore as he was tired teaching. That was when she decided to call up her brothers and asked to get her a scooter, at the age of 45+. As soon as they did, amma called one of our neighbour boy and asked him to teach her. He taught her for 5 6 days and boom!! My amma learnt it in no time. She appeared for DL test, cleared it and its been 5 years that she roams around with her Ray-z, almost everywhere. She didn’t stop right there, she inspired her friends to drive, and most of them ride now.

A funny story in between all these is that,My amma took my sister’s driving classes and my 14 classes too. Con of being the youngest in the family is that your family won’t allow you to drive, especially if you’re the most mischievous one. So here I am, having both my DL and tons of confidence but what to do!! They don’t let you practice.
