Welcome home. It is Dad, Mom, Sister and me here. I think we a really cool gang and very good friends (Yes, cliched, go away if you don't like it).
Dad is an electronics & communications engineer, he retired doing instrumentation related stuff at a govt. geophysical research lab. The organization called him a scientist, and as a kid I used to think he was the kind that mixes up stuff in test tubes, which later turned out not to be true. He tries to keep everyone happy and is quite funny at times; at his best when he imitates his friends, colleagues and people he knows (because he is quite observant); of-course, that is when he is not making fun of mom (and joining him happens to be my favorite pass time when I am at home).
She knows how to drive a three wheeler popularly known as an auto-rickshaw (One fine afternoon, I also came to know that she can more or less climb a tree chasing me with a belt in her hand :-D). Mom is a simple person, and the only thing that she probably likes is ice-cream. Anti washing machine, anti vacuum cleaner, and she refuses to use them. A home person, and my guru when it comes to culinary skills. We have an understanding and she knows that I'll come back home if I am hungry, so never bothered a lot about my whereabouts like Pops would.
Agreed, I fight a lot with my sis (perhaps because we both belong to the same hot-head ram sunsign), but this pampered girl and I are at peace with each other as long as she listens to what I say, and doesn't argue ;-). She is good at a lot of things (much of that happens to be unnecessary stuff, like remembering that a snake appears momentarily near the tires of the car in the movie that we watched some 10 years ago. But that is beyond the point). She likes things that are art, and is an architect. Her dream (consequently, one among the things that I dread the most), happens to be to design a house that we'd all live in.
