Our children can take strange tacks and end up in places we never would have predicted. A friend’s daughter grew up to be a fashion designer in Eurat, Gujrat. “It was not a career path I ever envisioned for her,” the father said. Another friend had a son who partied and slacked his way through school but went on to earn $30 million in the tech business. The mother shook her head. “I never would have predicted that.
So it was for me. I never imagined my son would marry a girl of another state, start two businesses and marry a UP woman. I’ve searched my memory for clues in his childhood that might have predicted this, but I’ve come up empty. I mean, he liked Haryanvi food, like churmaa,bajra roti,dahi ,chutney etc.etc.
On reaching home, my son brought my daughter-in-law, leading her by a long Red ribbon, down to the street and into our hous.
