I just heard that Obamas biggest influence was his grand mother. Come to think of it, I think for me its my mother. A perfect house wife from my eyes and a true mother in the strict sense.
Although she always remained a house wife, I think she was a real talent wasted. She would have excelled in any profession, like the way she excelled as a house wife and a mother . Religion and Pooja is a big part of her life. India Tv one of her favourites which my father simply HATES.
Bhinder once came home and met my mom. The observant that she is, she told me that my Mom has a very high IQ. High education would have moulded her brain which is professionally confined to the thinking of a house wife with her family. The economy, US Policy, Indian policy, the interest rates, mergers, do not come in her daily routine.
Perhaps, the mind set of the folks in the 50ts was quite different, different to comprehend as on date. My mother tells me that my Nana was of the view that girls should not be taught too much.
I am glad that India has changed over the years. I seriously hope mothers havent. Fathers still need their beer and a smoke.

WOW! I am genuinely impressed that you have perceived, all that your mom may have been capable off, outside of her home.
Your warmth & admiration for her comes out clearly, its quite heart warming.
