Called up very famous school near home to find out about admissions. This is what the admin lady wanted to know.
Child's name
Date of birth
Father's name
Father's email number (har har)
Father's contact number
Where father works
Where you live
At this point I was expecting her to ask which floor qwe live in or what car we drive when she asked for our residence number.
And don't you want the mother's name, email, contact etc, etc, I asked since you took the father's details. Not necessary madam, admin lady replied, we will send email or contact the father if we have seats.
And not bother informing the mother who does the research on school, most of the school rounds and can recognize every single squiggle the child draws.
The process was repeated at yet anoter very famous school.

Ok, go ahead, but don't finish the thanda water, and refill the bottles if you do. The father will come home tired from a day's work and will need it.
Inky: You forgot to mention the scented water to wash his feet. Varry funny
Look at it this way. It's the school's way of ensuring that the father takes some responsibility when he gets a mail from the child's school. Of course, sach wala reason toh pata hai. They want direct access to the bank.
heh! I was filling out the national id card forms here (in dubai)and was wondering why they didn't even ask for father's NAME when someone very seriously told me it's cos a lot of times, they don't know who the father might be! :P Dunno how true that is though!
Easy to have a child than find a good school, said my mum long time ago :)

Well some school have stuff like what is your income and based on that they give admissions.. GAHHH..
But hey best of luck !
Rahul's school (thank heavens) asked for both our details and also had a section in the form that asked us to clarify which parent was to be contacted on need. I bet all the mothers ticked their own names!
I gave Vicky a chance to ask to have his name ticked but he looked most alarmed.
