Short stories written by my son

November 25, 2012 By: Mehroocomment

Given below are two short narratives written by my elder son who is 8 years old.

Unlike our Indian education system, school books are not sent back home everyday so I happened to read these in his English draft book during our recent parent-teachers meet. My Samsung Galaxy quickly helped me capture these stories before I had to return the books. Stories that give me an insight into my son’s thoughts, his innocence, his little world comprising of his family and what took me by surprise, his sense of humour! In the near future, I see these stories taking better shape, getting more detailed and comprising of a bigger world, a world where immediate family might have to take a back-seat. A seat where I will sit and watch and judge my motherhood.

WAR
One day there was a boy called Ushaan who was playing with his little brother Fravash, when suddenly they heard a loud BANG!
Ushaan and Fravash shouted “HELP!” as their mother had told that when a cannon fires that means that there is war.
They could hear helicopters hovering above their heads when their mother yelled “Ushaan, Fravash come quickly before they get you! When they reached home, Ushaan hid behind the cupboard and so his brother and mother.
An American soldier named Kaiwan, found them first but instead of shooting them, he fell in love with Mehroo, their mother.
He asked if he could marry her and she agreed and so did Ushaan and Fravash as they’d never had a father. So Kaiwan took them back to America.

Pompeii Adventure
Ushaan and Fravash was reading a book about the volcanic eruption in Pompeii when suddenly they got sucked into the book. “Help!” Ushaan and Fravash yelled.
When Ushaan and Fravash realised that they had got sucked into ancient Pompeii they knew exactly what would happen.
They told everyone to evacuate to the countryside. “Everyone please evacuate to the countryside because there is going to be a volcano eruption. But no one listened to them but then they heard a loud KA-BOOM! And the volcano erupted.
“Everyone run for your lives” shouted a citizen. Ushaan and Fravash ran as fast as a cheetah ran to take shelter under a rock to protect themselves from the flames.
After a long time of waiting all the smoke cleared up and Ushaan saw something shining on the ground. “The book!” exclaimed Ushaan. They opened the book and got sucked back home.
THE END

    " … but instead of shooting them, he fell in love with Mehroo, their mother." This is my absolute favourite part, what a sweet romantic he is.

    It is such a lovely testament to your close family life that he based his stories on all of you. Lovely!

Coaching? What? Why? When? I am often asked these Coaching? What? Why? When? 
I am often asked these questions by well-meaning family and friends as they learn about this new phase in my life. It prompted me to rewind time and write about this journey.

👉Coaching: Let’s start at the very beginning.... 

🖋Capturing the moments and memories of this beautiful new phase in my life.

End-January 2020: With corona virus spreading across Hong Kong and number of cases rising, schools were asked to shut down. We were in Mumbai over Chinese New Year and what had been a short 5-day trip to the city for a family wedding turned out to be a month-long extension as we postponed our flights intending to “stay safe” in Mumbai.

February 2020: While I was I happy that we were relatively safe and I could enjoy a longer holiday, the working bug in me started biting within a week. Business was slow through the previous months of protests in Hong Kong and had now come to a grinding halt. My mind started racing. What next, what can I do to keep my business going? In retrospect the actual question to ask was “What can I do to keep myself going?”

March 2020: After some trials and errors on new ideas for my current business, I realized that this was not the solution I was looking for. After starting my career in corporate sales and marketing, followed a fulfilling role as a stay-at-home mom to my boys and the last few years of being a “mom-preneur” running an exciting clothing and events business, I felt that I needed something different – something that I love and something that is sustainable over a period of time. I started researching on the internet, looking for an answer. My searches were quite random and pretty general. ‘Flexible job from home, rewarding job for women, inspiring jobs, etc.’ I am not sure how or when but along with the other answers that came up, what struck my attention and curiosity was the word ‘Coaching.’
