Yet Another Software Junk | മറ്റൊരു പാഴ്‌ജന്മം

Every parent might be expecting something from their children. In my case, my dad wanted me to don the cap of a Civil Engineer. Hmm... I was able to fulfill his wish, but with a slight change, a computer engineer instead.

Now I am in his shoes. A father of a baby girl. What would I wish... my daughter to be. A Computer Engineer like me? Lead Architect of Mashithantu Malayalam Works? "heir to my throne, defender of my kingdom." (Priam-Troy). Whenever she throws a blank look, my relatives laughs at me saying that she is thinking about Mashithantu.

Should I dream of making her a Doctor (may be the first one in our family) or a Business Analyst/CA like her uncle/aunt? or a Pharmacist like her one and only one ammayi (sister of her father). or A high school teacher like her great grandfather?

Basically I don't dream any of these. I don't mind if she doesn't choose computer field, or will be happier if she choose to become Bio/Nano technology specialist or even an agriculturist. What I can do maximum is that give an introduction to all these fields and let her choose.

Okie... that is a polite way of dreaming about our children.

But I've a dream about her. It is a simple one. I want to see that she drives Samson Thrissur and bring it back to Bangalore. I am not sure whether I can keep Samson healthy for next 20 years. So a variations of the dream are.... fly a helicopter in the same route or simply bi-cycle 600 KMs.

Her father didn't had a chance to fulfill many of his wacky dreams and now he himself think that he is too old to try those adventurous acts. :( Anyway, he has his own excuses like every other lazy guys- 'No Time'
