I very well know they are concerned for me and that is very much justified and at this point i second your opinion that probably their way of concern is not the right one.
Only one msg….We exist both together and individually so we need to respect each other.

Hello Anshul!
I read your article the day it was on the blog and it left me speechless. Though since then I was in a dilemma as I wanted to comment as a father and as well as a son, simultaneously. I wanted to write so much on this but was not able to find words. Finally I could get one. If I step in your father’s sheo I come accross one simple word i.e. CONCERNED. They are really concerned for you but their way of showing this was probably not in the right manner (SORRY PARENTS). A bit of Love was required to show their concern. As a son I would have said ‘SORRY, I made you wait’ and not concluded their attitude with “I own you cause I am your Dad”.(Sorry Anshul)

I think values are something that cannot change over a period of time..Its our perception which has undergone a change..
I think we need to look back to assess as in what excatly has gone wrong

Changing values is a problem. Getting them wrong in the first place is a bigger problem.
There were successful families even back them which stuck with the right choice and values.
There are successful families now, who have stuck with the same right choices and values.
“The same right choices and values” – Values remain the same, I think.

This is a ‘Ghar Ghar ki Baat’. The values and thought process have changed over a period of time and those who are not able to change with time and tide are looser.

You are rational man!

Hope adult would understand this…for us to introspect!!

“education is a means to achieve human goal of total well being based upon the premise that without proper education the child would not find his/her needs even when they turn adult”.

incidents such as these make me think on a lot of alternatives ,but then the question that comes up is..
am I being reactive?
or do i care about relationships?

AS i read the article I was struck by the AUTHORS ABILITY TO REMAIN THE GOOD RESPECTFUL SON, NOT biting back at the parents but struggling with his own sense of justice and desire to live.
As a father I am hit by how we as men take positions that are not ours to take forgetting that we are also sons who may be passing on the garbage from one generation to the next.

I am encouraged as a father to wait at the door to welcome my sons home, thankful that they have chosen to honour my house! They could be somewhere else tonight!

Thank you Anshul for putting things into perspective for us fathers.
