Re: Which of these is your greatest Fear Factor?
Hi,
My fear factor is different. Since my childhood, I have been brought up under the strict surveillance of my mother, who was a strict disciplinarian at home and a firm believer in the effectiveness of punishment in disciplining child. She was, in fact, a merciless dictator at home. She would resort to caning me with her rattan cane for mistakes in studies, any bad behavior, indiscipline and disobedience. I, at last, got respite from her caning when I left home for higher studies after clearing my higher secondary exam. I vividly remember all those painful days. For any mistake committed by me, she would whip out her cane from her closet and strike me mercilessly at my butt and legs. I was always afraid to my mother’s furious cane. Swishing sound of her cane was it self frightening. She passed away nearly two years. Today, after many many years, still I had the fear on my mother's cane. Even now sometimes (not very often) in my nightmares I experienced my mother's caning. Love Rita |
