AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My mumma and papa scold me in every single thing. For e.g. the ball got stuck due to air and then they are scolding me and saying stop defending your self . Another example is It was raining and we stopped the match I asked the umpire and he said no and I said ok, then my father is scolding me.
