`` Wow, ma, that was harsh.'' Ma looked at me, her face stern. `` Life will be even harsher if you keep going with this nonsense. Novels! Writing! Who do you think you are, Shakespeare?'' 
 
 `` Ma I really worked hard on this! This is my passion, I want to become a writer.'' 
 
 `` And who is going to pay your bills? The hero in your'novel'? Hmm? If you put even half this effort into your studies you would have gotten into a good engineering college.'' 
 
 `` I do n't want to be an engineer! I want to write!'' 
 
 `` I wo n't have you become a loose girl like this. Tomorrow your father and I are going to meet the principal of the engineering college we chose for you and we'll pay for your seat.'' 
 
 `` I'm not going to join any engineering college so do n't waste your money. I'm going to follow my dreams.'' 
 
 `` Dreams?! Dreams are for sleeping. Who will marry you if you write such things? Where did you even learn about kissing and all? This has gone too far. I am taking your phone and your laptop. The next time you step out of the house will be on the first day of college. Now go to your room.'' 
 
 `` YOU CA N'T DO THIS! I'LL CALL THE POLICE!!!'' 
 
 `` YOU THINK THIS IS AMERICA THAT YOU CAN CALL THE POLICE ABOUT YOUR OWN PARENTS? WHAT KIND OF CHILD ARE YOU, BRINGING SHAME ON THE FAMILY LIKE THIS?? WHERE DID I GO WRONG IN BRINGING YOU UP?'' 
 
 `` I just do n't want to do engineering ma...'' 
 
 `` Then do Arts or Commerce. You know what this is all my fault for giving you freedom until now. I trusted you but you misused it, kissing boys and all. What am I going to tell your father?'' 
 
 `` Ma it's not like that, I never misused'' 
 
 `` THEN HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE ALL THE FILTHY THINGS IN THIS BOOK?'' 
 
 `` I just imagined..'' 
 
 `` I should never have allowed you to watch all those English movies. And all those books you read, I should have kept a closer watch. What am I going to tell your father?'' 
 
 `` Ma, it's fine, he wo n't be angry.'' 
 
 `` Huh. You think he'll be pleased to read his daughter's IMAGINATION? Oh God, tell me no one else has read this. TELL ME!!'' 
 
 `` No, you're the first one I showed. I thought you'd be proud of me. There's a lot more to my writing than the'filthy things', you know.'' 
 
 `` You expect me to be proud of you for writing such degenerate things? This is what I get for all the years I spent focusing on you. It's all my fault. Your father will never forgive me. He wanted to be strict, I convinced him to let you have freedom and you would do the right thing and uphold our honour. Now look what you've done.'' 
 
 `` You've been an amazing mother. Please try to understand me!'' 
 
 `` I am done trying to understand. You will do as I say. Now GO TO YOUR ROOM!'' 
 
 `` But ma'' 
 
 `` NOW!''
