i have always been close to my mother , and very formal with my father . i can say with certainty , that this is the case with atleast 50 % of the boys.
as time has gone, we have the usual generation gap between us.
he doesn't approve of my my spendthrift nature, my late night outs,my careless and casual attitude, even my mom is fed up of my habits , especially that of procrastination and eating out when she has made a lavish dinner at home.but inspite of all this , they still care for me,they are worried when i do not inform them about coming late.they have sometimes not slept til i have come back.i have been reprimanded for this quite a few times.
they are the ones to support me when i am down and out.always encouraging me , and giving me the confidence that i can achieve anything.
they are the ones who are the happiest when i score for my cricket team , and my name comes in the daily magazine - which we call patrika,
my mom's the one who is always pushing me forward to learn new things
,my sister has been instrumental for me doing my mba, at a time when i was fully immersed in my job,in fact i can literally say that they have lived their life for me.... even my sister.
earlier , i used to fight with them a lot over trivial matters.
i could never understand why my father was so finicky over saving power, or why my mom used to shout at me to go to the doctor at the earliest.my sister used to fire me left right and center , over my laziness and personal hygiene,
I now realise is that all this was their way of showing their love for me , all for making ME a better person , so that i would not falter when i have to face the outer world.
we all have to learn that everyone has weaknesses.... so accept them and live with them. the good points far outnumber the weak ones. treat your parents as your friends.they could be the best ones. it is your turn to pay them back for whatever they have done. take your mom out for a dinner, or take your parents to a movie.
send them to a tour , with your own funds...... do something nice for them once in a while. they will really like it.
believe me , it is much more satisfactory and rewarding than spending money on yourself , your friends , or on your girlfriend .

this is really good
Heyy That was just Awesome and let me tell you it has changed they way i thought about you, i mean smtimes wen u did nt call n inform ur parents about u cmin home at late nights , i felt as if you never gave athought to their feelings, and as you say that ur practical so i was as if ur more rude to emotions.
But this blog has really worked out and proved that u not only think only with your mind but ur heart too has a voice to knock peoples hearts.
that was a very touchy piece...
where was all this 2 years ago
but then, i feel this is ur mba taking,
it surely has brought a lot of maturity in all of us
