Anu, 33, is a social science teacher at a middle school and the mother of an 8 year old girl. Her mother, she tells me was a teacher as well, of Science.
'She wanted me to do IAS, I think..' she said. 'But you took her path?' I asked. 'Maybe it stuck with me somewhere, I saw the life she gave me, I wanted the same for my child' she said.
What does your daughter want to do?
'Well, I'd really like it if was to become a doctor.'
And what does she want to do?
'She loves dressing up and looking pretty, she's also really independent.. looks like she might go into the fashion industry. Modelling or Designing'
Were you ever interested in these things?
'I don't think I really had the choice because though my mother was liberal, she did all my shopping, told me what to wear, who to get married to and all of that. I think my daughter is more independent and more of an individual than I ever was.. or even am'
Can I take a photo of you for my reference?
'Oh Please No! I look terrible right now..
(at an after thought)
Looks like my daughter is rubbing off on me'
