‘Mom, I am just away from home for some days. How much are you packing for me?’

‘Just few things that you would need. Nothing much.’

Smita packed the Theplas she had made with fresh vegetables. She carefully rolled them and packed in an air tight container. She rolled a foil over it to make sure it won’t leak. She packed some pickle with it for taste. She knew for the days he is flying away; it won’t be sufficient. But at least once or twice he will have homemade food and not some kind of junk food.

Deepak watched while his mom packed his stuff carefully. He knew she won’t miss a thing and it is better if she packs. In that ways there won’t be any spillage and his clothes will be neat and tidy.

‘Have you taken the toothbrush and Shaving kit?’ Smita asked him.

‘Mom, they have it in the hotels now. You must really update your version, apart from this Thepla and Achar.’ Deepak said.

‘Okay, stop making fun of me. At least it is healthier than the burger and Pizza that you eat. Listen, your socks and handkerchiefs are in left small compartment. Here, you will find the chargers…’

‘Mom! I am grownup. I will find them. Or else I will call you on any of Socializing Apps through Wi-Fi. You know right we get it in hotels.’ He laughed. ‘Mom what is this?’

‘Oh that? It is an international calling card. It is a prepaid one so you can call me anytime once you go there. We can also stay connected through socializing Apps. It has Data plan too. You don’t need to wait for the Wi-Fi provided by the hotel.’

‘When did you get this?’ Deepak was surprised.

‘I just logged in on www.stayconnect.in and everything was taken cared.’

‘Oh…’ Deepak looked at his mom.

‘Now who needs to be updated?’
