Lets see .. My mother is the strict one and she believes in the khawat "sune ka niwala khilao aur sher ki ankh se dekho.." She is the one who scolds us, throws jute after us and all that :p but she is very funny too .. there is no taboo with her .. she talks openly about everything and I mean EVERYTHING!! .. at times me and my sis have to tell her to stop because sometimes its just too much :p I wouldnt say she is my bestfriend or anything .. She is my mother and I know I can seek advices from her in any given situation and she will show me the right path ..
My dad on the other hand is very calm and laid back. He never scolds us about anything and I think out of all my siblings my eldest brother is the only one to get scold by my father and those were some VERY serious matters. And if my brother had been my son he would have been burried in the garden, but chup chup hehe .. We can joke around with my dad, talk abt politics and food .. uhh he loves food and is always interested if we try a new recipe .. He is my foodtaster :D
