Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai
Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai…. It is tax season. We had an upcoming meeting with our tax advisor. Amita( our daughter) was discussing about the fees our advisor would charge to do her taxes. She completed her training last summer and started her first full time job in September. Her taxes have gotten more complex than previously. Her dad was trying to tell her not to worry about advisor fees and just entrust him ( the tax man) with the filing. She had checked with her peers who told her that, in general, accounting professionals gave significant discounts to the family of their old clients. Abhay was getting increasingly impatient with her reservations and arguments. She in turn was having a hard time sticking to her guns regarding finding economical options for filing her taxes. The father daughter standoff was beginning to spill on to me. I reminded Abhay that when he was her age he figured out everything about life on his own, including taxes. Mostly by talking to peers...
