The Melting Pot
Amalgamation of Thoughts…

After Going through the article written by Amratya sen which was published at the ndtv site. I was reminded of my own post which was written 2 years back which i would like to re-post in order to share my insight on this topic.

“We have been brought up the way our Parents and Teachers wanted to bring us up. if the priority in Youngster`s lives today is Luxury, and indifference towards others, it is because their parents care for none and wish to live in luxury. if students today are languishing in coaching classes slogging away for marks, it is because their parents and teachers want them to become scoring machine.
if every student you meet believes that he should be a Doctor or an Engineer and earn lots of Money, it is because his Parents Teachers and Relatives have conditioned him to think like that.

They just end up doing what their parents want ,with out giving enough time to bring out their talents which they find hidden inside. before they could say , some thing about their dreams , they are asked to do this/that. after passing out from the college, they realize what they have done to their God gifted Talents (extra activities including ,writing,sports). Parents need to give their Children enough space and Hinder, so that he/she could think of her own and achieve those Dreams which we often look back after moving the stage, ones we wanted to be. your sons and daughters are going to make it big one day. once they go that stage, they will not come back to the age of a child.so let them enjoy for being what they are…….

    Nice thinking!!! But it is only one sided. Why do we youngsters generally neglect the fact that our parents love us more than we love ourselves? Why would they want anything which is bad for us? In their eyes, we are always like kids. No matter whatever our achievements are….they will always be extra-careful for us. We should respect that extra-care rather than criticizing that. No doubt, sometimes even I get irritated for the over-flowing emotions that they show and I go like "Oh come on….I am no more a kid….I'll manage it"…..but that's only in my heart….I have never ever said these words to them. Because I know that they are just playing their part. Every time, just before coming back to Chandigarh from my home, my mom reminds me 100 times to take my wallet, mobile charger and not to take the window-seat (in winters) and many more things…..

    Yes, we have our own dreams. We have the hidden talent. But our parents wants us to study. May be because we never represent ourselves well. There….Right there!!! We have a chance to talk to them sensibly and make them understand what we really want. Also, it is our duty to listen to their views patiently and really consider their experience in the subject-matter. I am sure, they'll support us or allow us to give at least one shot!!!

    It will be an awful play if we just listen to ourself all the time. We might get tricked.

    My idea is not to criticize you….your post,…..or anybody over here!!!! But I think we need to stop censuring at least our parents as I strongly believe WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT THEM.

    As always some important talks in a very simpler manner. You make the point very clear n simple.

    I agree to you , one should realise it own destiny.. like 'do what you really enjoy doing' . But the right education at the right point of time is utmost important. Its not easy for some people to understand what they really want out of their life. Its only on a journey of life they realise what they really want to do.(for some people) .
    Here parents play an important role in making them move towards a goal, maybe it would be their dream … but atleast ur not stranded at any point in life.

    Both the things should just blend… What we really desire to do in our life…and What our parents desire out of our lifes..!!

    A blend, definitely. But for the blend, you've got to get out there and communicate your parents. You've got to try! There has to be an understanding from both the sides, which unfortunately is not the case in majority households in India.
    Nabeel and Gaga, you're both right as you represent both sides of the same coin.

I have a strange problem these days
The power to hate with all my heart
Is ebbing by the day

I want to hate the English

But Shakesphere sidles up
To whom i owe so much

I want to hate the Muslims
But ghalib stands before me
Tell me,is it possible to stand up
To him?
