Iam always amazed the way we see people as we grow , physically , mentally and emotionally .
Parents to children of a very young age is a pain in the @$$ most of the time and especially when they have to say a "yes" or give permission . No extra chocolates , no fighting , no wrestling in the mud , no catching the guppies in the drain flowing with fresh rain water etc etc .
In short : I have the worst parents . Always saying NO !!
Parents to teenagers are a pain in numerous ways . Never give them enough pocket money , never enough time to stay late in the night , no parties , no travels outside the city with adult supervision , no wearing skimpy clothes ( for girls ) no alcohol and smoking etc etc .
In short : When will I ever have a life on my own !! Cant wait to get out of here !!.
Parents to young working professionals , their pain starts being a burden , especially the ones where they are young , working and earning a ton of money more than their dad ever did in their lifetime and married with an equally professional and working wife . Financially need to support them , Look after them , can never have private time of your own , always a constant supervision by them and their parallel talks in each and every subject of decision in the house , no alcohol parties etc etc
In short : Goodness , can never have a private life !! Old age home is the best for them .
Its only once the kids hit somewhere in their early 30's ( that's if they have some human values left in them ) or I can only hope when it is not too late they realize that this is a cycle every human being goes through no matter which nationality you are . Iam a believer that good or bad , you will see it in this life time . Nothing will be logged for you to "see" in an afterlife .
I did have terrible days as a kid , teenager & young adult with my parents ,which at that time were blood boiling episodes . Now I have made peace for different instances and situations and see what my folks especially my mom saw . I have turned back . After Deepu ( my younger brother ) has passed away ( will be 2 years on Nov 13, 2013) my view on relationships , family , friends and foe have changed forever . Help and respect people when ever you can . Never hesitate to smile . Love your loved ones and parents as much as you can , be kind to animals , cause tomorrow you never know what can happen to you or them . My bro lived his life king size and I have a lot to learn from him .
Cheers !!
