I like it when Raghav calls me to ask trivial things such as 'where can I find the quarters' or 'my cuff links'. Makes me feel indispensable in a silly way, and makes me wonder how he feels when I call him for everything - be it for my accounting questions or which shirt shall I wear for my interview.

I decided to take advantage of a deal, and order a Chloe optical glass frame for my mom. In my mind, the process that I outlined was to call mom, tell her to select a frame and call me back to tell me which one it was. I always thought that my mom was quite web-savvy given that she uses emails and Facebook, but had no clue that my baby bro had setup icons for those on the desktop. So when my mom called me back for detailed instructions when she was infront of her laptop, I could see it turn into a marathon. I had to get back to my assignments, and this made me feel annoyed! I could feel myself getting impatient and upset when my mom couldn't figure out how to open different frame designs in new tabs. Then suddenly I realized how exasperated my mom would have been while teaching me how to walk, eat, read, write... and just about everything in life! And I felt extremely guilty and very ashamed. My brother, Namit, on the other hand, is so passionate about teaching her how to browse, or even play Need for Speed. He spends hours with her, taking her through the same steps, patiently. I really have a long way to go to beat his spirit and love for everyone, and can never ever beat my mom!
