Most difficult relation

Who decides what’s best for us?

When we are born into this big bad world, we are provided natural guardians in form of our parents. Right from feeding us to cleaning our poop, they do everything for us. And along with that they try their level best to instill good thoughts and manners. They teach us (or rather try to) what is good and bad. But ultimately what you do when you grow up is totally your will and wish.

No matter how much they try to tell us and teach us that fire will burn and send a sharp pain through you, you still wanna touch it and experience it before you actually believe, ya it really does hurt. (How many times have I tried to catch the burning candle wick. I can still hear my mom's scolding.)

Kids are like an investment parents make. But the profit and returns and risks associated are very different from your Reliance and TATA AIG investments. Here risks are very high. Their kid’s life is at risk if they do not take proper care of their investments. Whereas returns are almost negligible coz no matter how good they might have been we still manage to find faults with them somehow (amazing na). The only profit is seeing their kids live a happy and settled life.


Somehow the concept of "Parents be Child's best friend" doesn't convince me. A child's best friend should be one among his peer, with whom he can relate to easily. Whereas parents should be someone whom he looks upto while growing up and enriching his life with the anecdotes and learnings of life. Parents need to be at authority to make us understand at times the right from wrong. They love us unconditionally and make us feel special each and every moment of our life. We need their tough love and discipline at times to make us a better person. How else can life be transpired through an insignificant wood and make it a wonderful piece of art. And the best part is that even if this piece of art becomes a distorted figure they still love it as if there is nothing more beautiful than that distorted figure.
At the same time close relationship and open communication is most important for this relationship to stay connected life long. They should respect the child's individuality and help him make right choices but not force their choices on the kid. They should say "Enough is enough" at the same time let the kids follow their dreams and passions.

It sounds so tough, I wonder how our parents did it without even showing a strain to us.
How can such a relationship be defined.

Where art thou!!!!!

Falling in love is the easiest thing to do… You look into someone’s eyes and you feel some kind feeling rushing through you and you know you are in love…

But hey wait a second…. We are in the 21st century.. Who has time to look into someone’s eyes and all…

Here most of us don’t even get time to look at the mirror in the morning to dress up properly… Here we are in 21st century running around faster than a metro rail… Who has time for all these real world activities..

So our great innovators and creative people came up with weirdest of ideas and made an impossible come true… They create a virtual world of net… Where distance.. time.. place.. nothing can stop you from meeting anyone… You can meet anyone from any part of the world..

What can make life more simpler now than internet.. People even fall love via chatting and mailing.. Distant relationships are now the “In” thing…

But come to think of it is that real love? Or is it just a fantasy?

I don’t know. Am not an expert but somehow the warmth of a relationship like this should be experienced by being together. Yes you can definitely describe how beautiful the weather outside is to your loved one in a poetic way with most colourful words. But can that replace the warmth of his hand in yours and taking a walk in that beautiful weather.

No words can describe the emotions that pass through your loved ones face when you tell them about your greatest achievement of the day.

How can he describe the six that he hit or the catch that he missed while playing…. How to explain the experimental dish that she made.. The aroma of it or may be the burnt smell of it..

These might sound the silliest of things but these small and insignificant moments are what makes life worth living....And its these silly and funny moments that are the salt of the relationship.. though added just a little but without it, its absolutely tasteless........
