My 73-year-old mother called me about 15 minutes before the start of the match and asked me what channel the match was on. I know she is technologically challenged, nor is she so much into football, and so I said it is on a channel we don’t have and that it is complicated to get it now at such short notice, and since I am watching the match from elsewhere, I can’t help and that she should just watch her Marathi serial or something.
So, when I came home, I was least prepared for my mum sitting on the couch with the tv on full volume playing the award ceremony of the FIFA World Cup. She had, apparently, figured out it was Jio, downloaded it, logged in, and watched the entire match but for the first 3 minutes.
My mother is a legend.
P.S.: I think my mother wants to adopt both Messi and Mbappe. Football, you have a young fan!
P.P.S.: When I told her she was a rockstar and asked if I could have a photo, please, she asked if I was the paparazzi, and when I asked, ‘What if I were?’, her response was this pose!
Later edit: The next week, she searched for and found the recordings, just so she could watch the first 3 minutes she missed.
