Understanding the meaning of Love with MaAn

New Learnings and Excitement

As the clock struck 3 PM, Anupamaa felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her; it was time to wrap up her first day at the office. She was filled with joy after such a rewarding experience. Meeting so many new faces had been delightful, especially getting to know Anargya, Devika, and Anuj, who had been with her throughout the day. She appreciated their support and camaraderie, and she had learned a great deal from Anargya.

Anargya had even suggested a helpful YouTube video that would teach her how to create presentations effectively. As she drove home, Anupamaa reflected on everything that had transpired during the day, feeling grateful for the new opportunities that lay ahead. However, she knew she had to wrap up her day by heading to her dance class at 3:30 PM.

Realizing that time was running short, she decided to call Samar for assistance. She wanted to ask him to bring along Pakhi, her 10-year-old daughter, to the dance academy. That way, Pakhi could study in the silent room adjacent to the dance class while Anupamaa kept an eye on her.

Anupamaa: "Samar, suno... mujhe thoda jaldi nikalna hai aaj. Kya tum Pakhi ko dance academy le aa sakte ho?"

Samar: "Haan, mummy! Main le aata hoon. Lekin aapko wahan kaise time par pohochna hai?"

Anupamaa: "Mujhe 3:30 baje tak pahunchna hai. Tum usse lekar jaldi nikal lena, taaki uska homework bhi kar sake. Silent room mein padhegi woh."

Samar: "Thik hai, maa. Main Pakhi ko le lunga aur aapko wahan dekhunga."

Anupamaa: "Tenk you, mhara Bakuda! Bahut accha kar rahe ho. Main jaldi aati hoon."

Samar: "Koi baat nahi, mummy. Aap jaldi aa jaana."

Anupamaa arrived at the dance academy a little late, glancing at her watch as she noticed it was already 3:40 PM. As she entered, a wave of guilt washed over her for being late, but her apprehensions faded when she saw Nandhini confidently taking charge of the class. A sense of relief washed over her; everything seemed to be in good hands. Looking around, she spotted Samar and Pakhi, who had already settled in, and then Kinjal entered the academy as well. Kinjal had rushed over right after work, eager to hear all about Anupamaa's first day at the office. Anupamaa quickly directed Pakhi to sit down and focus on her homework, keeping a watchful eye on her progress. Kinjal, too, found a comfortable spot in the dance academy, trying to shake off the exhaustion from her own long day at the office. As the class unfolded, Anupamaa couldn't help but observe Samar, who seemed completely captivated by Nandhini as she danced. The affection he had for her was evident in his gaze, and Anupamaa felt a warm glow in her heart. Watching her son experience what seemed to be a beautiful first love filled her with happiness, especially after having endured her own heartbreak in the past. Once Pakhi finished her homework, Anupamaa took a moment to relax alongside her. The dance session eventually came to an end, and as the children left, they enjoyed a brief 15-minute break before the next group of students arrived. During this time, Pakhi proudly announced that she had completed her homework, prompting Anupamaa to check it. In this short break, Nandhini, Samar, Kinjal, and Pakhi were all eager to hear about Anupamaa's first day at work. With an infectious enthusiasm reminiscent of a child, she began recounting her day—how she had met so many new people, including Anargya and Devika, the dynamics of Anuj's cabin, and how kind everyone had been to her throughout the day. She described the meeting in detail and all the valuable lessons she had learned. The family listened intently, their eyes shining with pride and excitement for her. Anupamaa couldn't help but express how today felt like one of the best days of her life.Pakhi chimed in, "Bahot maza aaya hoga na, mummy! Aur mujhe maaf karo, aaj tak aapko embarrassing hone ke liye aise bolti rahi. Maine toh realize hi nahi ki aapke andar businesswoman banne ki potential hai! Aapko aur Winter ko loser bolti rahi... Ab dekho, aap dono kaam kar rahe ho, aur Papa aur Toshu bhai toh kaam nahi karte! Main sorry, mummy! Aap ab meri liye embarrassment nahi ho. Aap bhi sab kuch seekh sakti hain, haina? Aage se aapko achhe se treat karungi, mummy... Sorry..."Anupamaa smiled at her daughter's heartfelt words and reassured her, "Koi baat nahi, sweetudi. Tumhara yeh sochna hi bohot badi baat hai. Aage se aise mat bolna, theek hai?" With a renewed sense of connection and understanding, Anupamaa felt grateful for the support of her family as they shared this joyful moment together.

Kinjal: "Toh mummy, kal aapko woh BMC par kaam karke, team ko dikhana hoga, hai na? Unhe completed work ka mail bhej dena."

Anupamaa: "Lekin, yeh mail kaise bhejte hain? In sab cheezon ke baare mein mujhe bilkul nahi pata hai..."

Nandhini: "Iske liye aapko ek email account banana padega, mummy. Tabhi aap mail bhej sakengi."

Anupamaa: "Haan, mujhe yaad hai ki humne dance academy ke liye ek email account banaya tha... woh kya tha... Samar, tumhe yaad hai na?"

Samar: "Woh account hum nahi use kar sakte, mummy. Woh toh sirf dance academy ke liye hai. Aur Anuj buddy ka company ka email address toh ak.in domain hoga, haina? Usko use karke hi karna padega."

Anupamaa: "Toh phir, tum log milkar ek account create kar do na, beta."

Nandini: "Main kar deti hoon, mummy. Anuj buddy ke company ke email domain ka naam toh ak.in hai. Kya rakhein email address? Anupamaa(at)gmail.com... Haan, yeh toh available hai! Main abhi create karti hoon."

Anupamaa: "Isse use kaise karte hain phir?"

Kinjal: "YouTube pe ek video hai jisme full explanation hai, mummy. Usmein bataya gaya hai kaise use karna hai, sab kuch mil jata hai."

Anupamaa: "Yeh YouTube kitna kamaal ka cheez hai! Main subah se seekh rahi thi ki PPT kaise banate hain. Anargya ne bola tha ki YouTube pe aise videos milte hain. Ab isme bhi seekh sakte hain ki Gmail kaise kaam karta hai. Wah, kitna amazing hai!"

Pakhi: "Haan mummy, Internet pe aap kuch bhi seekh sakti hain. Aap bas batao, aapko kya seekhna hai, example mein."

Anupamaa: "Achha... Mujhe English seekhni hai."

Pakhi: "Yeh dekho, YouTube pe jaake English seekhne ka poora tutorial milta hai. Kam se kam basics toh seekh sakti ho. Phir aapko thodi kitaabein bhi padhni padengi."

Anupamaa: "Yeh app sach mein kamaal ka hai! Main isse seekhungi. Thank you, bachcha party!"

As they discussed, Anupamaa felt a wave of excitement and determination. She realized that with the support of her children and the resources available to her, she could truly embark on this new journey of learning and growth. 

As the 15-minute break concluded, a new group of students entered the dance academy, their excitement palpable. Anupamaa welcomed them with warmth and enthusiasm, ensuring they felt at home. She guided them through the dance class, and the children waited eagerly for her so they could return home together.

When she finally arrived home, she found Baa seated on her jhoola, a look of envy etched on her face as she watched Anupamaa enter. "Aagayi maharani! Ghar pe kaam pada hai, aur yeh maharani ko toh kaam pe jaana hai," she said with a frown, clearly unimpressed.

Samar was about to speak up in Anupamaa's defense, but she gently put a hand on his shoulder, signaling him to let it go. Instead, she focused on preparing dinner for the family, enlisting the help of Kinjal and Nandhini. Together, they worked efficiently in the kitchen, chopping vegetables and stirring pots, sharing laughter and light-hearted banter as they completed the evening chores.

Once the evening chores were completed and the kitchen was tidied up, Anupamaa retreated to her room. A sense of curiosity bubbled within her as she thought about the vast world of knowledge waiting to be explored online. She had recently learned about a new app, YouTube, which offered a plethora of tutorials on various subjects, including English and technology. This revelation filled her with excitement; she realized that this could be a golden opportunity to learn and grow.

Determined to make the most of her evening, Anupamaa settled into her cozy corner with her laptop. The hours melted away as she dove into the world of online learning. With each click, she discovered informative videos and tutorials, eagerly jotting down notes as she absorbed the information. Her quick learning ability amazed her; she grasped concepts with ease and enthusiasm.

As the night wore on, she felt a sense of accomplishment wash over her. Anupamaa recognized that she was not just learning for herself but also to prove that she could thrive in a world that often felt overwhelming. She made a promise to herself: every day would be dedicated to learning something new online. This commitment ignited a spark of purpose within her, as she envisioned the endless possibilities that lay ahead on her journey of self-improvement and empowerment.
