Orkut, TV and long phone calls to friends are all a part of this teenager’s life, even as she gears up for the HSC exams. “I want my daughter to lead a normal life, even during the exams,’’ says Ashwini’s mother, Mamta Kulkarni.
The daughter of a pilot and a school vice-principal, Ashwini has faced little parental pressure before the exams. “Once a month, I take my daughter out for a movie to ensure she doesn’t panic,’’ says Kulkarni, who feels that children are already stressed during the exams, and it’s unfair for parents to stress them even further.
Mamta, or her husband Tushar, do not interfere in their daughter’s studies and allow her to revise her portion on her own.
