My daughter as a teenager, is a world in herself. A world that drives itself and a world that drives others ! Our entire family revolves as per her schedule. If its her vacation, we are relaxed; if its her busy day, we are kept busy. No wonder then that as soon as she mentioned about driving a two wheeler to her tuition class, friends, college; we grabbed our chance at our independence. The arrival of an eco-friendly electric scooter interested us. Even the rules for the low speed electric scooter are friendly for students under eighteen years of age.
The three of us, father, mother and daughter; went to the company shop and all of us took turns in riding the most popular vehicle. We were told of two prospective electric scooters that would be suitable. Mother daughter liked the 'Optima' model which was costly by Rs 8000/- compared to the other one. Father, on the other hand, had his own calculations and did not want to pay the additional amount for his daughter's fancies. At the same time, another set of parents had come with their daughter's electric scooter for its first service.
As with most women and especially mothers, the two of us got talking about the performance of the vehicle. Casually I mentioned that we were interested in buying the 'Optima' scooter but would settle for the cheaper one. "Oh no ! That scooter has some design flaw. We had also purchased the same model, but it is not good for the back, hence we purchased the 'Optima' model.", said the lady.
"Arey, listen to the lady's opinion", I called out to my husband. Immediately, my husband and daughter gathered. My daughter's ears were already pointed towards her mother, for she saw a ray of hope in getting her scooter model of preference. The lady briefed the three of us again and switched to the benefits of scooter model of our choice. Her enthusiasm, exuberance and electric personality; scooted away any doubts from our mind.
The next few minutes saw us complete the paperwork and in a week the scooter was delivered to our home. My daughter's bright smile befits her electric scooter; all because of 'The woman' who helped us make a decision.
