Soul to soul....
Today, we see people are more social and less domestic. Take it generally and not personally. Reasons may be varied, school-extracurricular activities-classes-friends or job-hotel-parties-travel mates, job-kitty parties-functions-TV serials, etc. list is unending. Cant we turn it as Home-family-children-family seniors and-discussion-at- dinner? We rarely see such rare sites now-a-days.
Friends, a lecture at my friends college made me introvert to ponder upon the subject that is much discussed now-a-days: Family life. People remain on facebook, albeit without seeing real faces, we travel a lot for distant job-places, we celebrate social festivals and don't celebrate family life. Grandpas-grannies become Foreign-investors, Fathers become investors, Mothers become service providers and then why not then children become just a product?
Developing India is dreaming for being a economic super-power, while cultural development is substantially subsided. Families are the source from where culture percolates and society thrives. But we see that very source is degraded. Parents just instruct or question children-- Did you do your homework? Go to that class first, What percentage? which grade? eat that or dont eat that, and so on...there is no sense of being family. Children grow more work-oriented and less sensitive. They value only the job done and don't learn to put their soul in that job. They don't feel it. They mean it just a task to be accomplished and nothing.
i await when there will be a talk soul to soul- How was your day in school? it must be fine. What problem do you have in your studies? let's solve, come on let's play a game if u are feeling bore....family members are sitting together and having a daily-conversation. When such touching and warm invitations and compliments will be heard from within? Cant these be the soulful solutions? When shall we stop ourselves being mere investors and service providers and have a talk soul to soul?
