Jassi: “Papa please tell mom that I cannot be a nurse. I am a teacher now, Mom, I have tenure! I am youngest teacher to have tenure, you should be proud!”

Papa: “Yes, we are both proud of you baache. You are doing good, but I think what your mother wants is something better for you. Teaching is a great thing you are doing but listen to what your mother has to say.”

Mom: “You can be teaching in nursing; you can do management and make so much more money with nursing. Look at your cousin sonu, look at how much money she is making. And she has 10 marriage proposals for her. You had that many and you turn every man down”

Jassi: “Ma please don’t go there, I am tired of marriage purposals and you comparing me to sonu, I do not care about sonu and her life!”

Mom: “AY watch your mouth ladke, don’t forget who you are talking to.”

Jassi: “Sorry”

Papa: “I think we all need to take a little break from this and have some chai and rusk to calm our nerves? Jassi?”

Jassi: “Yes papa, I will go and prepare everything”

Jassi leaves the dining room and walks into the kitchen
