” Have we failed in bringing up.our ‘modern’ kids?” *I ALWAYS ADVISE PARENTS TO BE PARENTS AND NOT FRIENDS*. Your kids can have n number of friends but have only ONE set of parents.

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Have we failed in bringing up.our ‘modern’ kids?

A very distressed neighbour shared that he had driven home after a long day at work. As he entered, he saw his wife in bed with fever. She had laid out his dinner on a tray.

Everything was there just as he wanted it. The dal, vegetables, salad, green chutney, papad and pickles… *”How caring,”* he thought, *“Even when she is unwell, she finds the strength to do everything for me.”*

As he sat down to eat, he realised that something was missing. He looked up at his grown up daughter who was watching TV and said, *”Beta (child), can you get me my medicine and a glass of water, please?”*

She rolled up her eyeballs to show her displeasure at being disturbed, but did the favour nevertheless.

A minute later he realised that salt was missing in the dal.

He said, *”Sorry beta, can you please get me some salt?”*

She said, *”Ufff!”* and got the salt but her stomping shoes made it clear that she did not appreciate the disruption.

A few minutes later he said, *”Beta …”*

She banged the TV remote on the table and said, *”What is it now Dad? How many times will you make me get up? I too am tired; I had a long day at work!”*

The man said, *”I’m so sorry beta…”*
Silence prevailed.

The man got up and placed the dishes in the kitchen sink and quietly wiped the tear escaping his eye.

My heart wept… I often wonder; *Why is it that the youngsters of the so called modern world behave like this? Have we given them too much freedom to express? Have we failed to discipline and give them the right values?*

*Is it right to treat children as friends?* Think of it this way, they have lots of friends. But they have only one set of parents. If they don’t do ‘parenting’, who will?

Today the *‘self-esteem’* of even a new born or an infant is being talked about; but what about the self-esteem of the parents? Are they supposed to just fan the egos of their children, while the children don’t care two hoots about theirs?

Often parents say, “Aajkal ke bachhe sunte kahaan hain (Where will you find obedient children in these times)?” Why?

The other day, we were at a dinner party. All the seats were occupied except for one bean bag. One of our fifty-something friends told his teenaged daughter to move to the bean bag, so that he could sit on the high back chair she occupied.

She said, *”Why can’t you sit on the bean bag?”*

I was zapped; we all knew that the father had a back ailment, and even otherwise… Well!

Later as everyone was taking leave of the host, the same guy realised that he had left his car keys inside. He asked his daughter to go and get them.

*“Why can’t you go and get them yourself? I am not your maid!”*

I looked away in disgust and disbelief. The poor guy had no option but to make light of the situation saying, *”Ya, Ya, but Daddy is your eternal servant my princess!”*

He went inside to fetch the car keys. This is what our social behaviour has become! Why?

If we need to teach children about self-respect, self-esteem and self-confidence, we also need to tell them that howsoever big and rich and famous they may be, their parents shall always be their parents… children can never be their equals, let alone be their bosses!

*Remember to Pay-*

*RENT – Respect, Empathy, Niceness, and Time!*

*I ALWAYS ADVISE PARENTS TO BE PARENTS AND NOT FRIENDS*. Your kids can have n number of friends but have only ONE set of parents.

*So don’t be afraid to set rules and make the children obey them*

ಹಿಂದೂಗಳ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಅವಹೇಳನಕಾರಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುವ ಮೂಲಕ ವಿವಾದ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದ್ದ  ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದ ಪಂಜಾಬ್ ಸಚಿವ ಫಯಾಜ್ ಉಲ್ ಹಸ್ಸನ್ ಚೋಹನ್ರನ್ನು ಸಂಪುಟದಿಂದ ವಜಾ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ನಡೆದ ಸುದ್ದಿಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದ ಫಯ್ಯಾಜುಲ್ ಹಿಂದುಗಳ ಭಾವನೆಗೆ ಧಕ್ಕೆ ತರುವಂತ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು.

ಲಾಹೋರ್ (ಮಾ.6): ಹಿಂದೂಗಳ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಅವಹೇಳನಕಾರಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುವ ಮೂಲಕ ವಿವಾದ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದ್ದ ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದ ಪಂಜಾಬ್ ಸಚಿವ ಫಯಾಜ್ ಉಲ್ ಹಸ್ಸನ್ ಚೋಹನ್ರನ್ನು ಸಂಪುಟದಿಂದ ವಜಾ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ.
ಪಂಜಾಬ್ ಸರ್ಕಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಸಾಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ ಸಚಿವರಾಗಿ ಕಾರ್ಯನಿರ್ವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಫಯಾಜ್ ಹಿಂದೂಗಳ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ತೀವ್ರ ಟೀಕೆಗಳು ಕೇಳಿ ಬಂದಿದ್ದವು. ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಿದ ಹೊರತಾಗಿಯೂ ಪಕ್ಷದ ಹಿರಿಯ ನಾಯಕರೇ ಫಯಾಜ್ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಅಪಸ್ವರ ಎತ್ತಿದ್ದರು. ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕಠಿಣ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುವಂತೆ ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಇಮ್ರಾನ್ ಖಾನ್ ಪಂಜಾಬ್ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಉಸ್ಮಾನ್ ಬುಜ್ದಾರ್ಗೆ ಸೂಚನೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು.

ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ನಡೆದ ಸುದ್ದಿಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದ ಫಯಾಜ್ ಹಿಂದುಗಳ ಭಾವನೆಗೆ ಧಕ್ಕೆ ತರುವಂಥ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದರು. ಇದಾದ ನಂತರ ಹೇಳಿಕೆಗೆ ಸಮರ್ಥನೆ ನೀಡುವ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದರು. “ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಹೇಳಿಕೆಗೆ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಪಾಕಿಸ್ತಾನದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಹಿಂದು ಸಮುದಾಯ ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಿ ನಾನು ಈ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡಿಲ್ಲ. ನಾನು ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿನ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮಗಳನ್ನು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ. ಪಾಕ್ನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಹಿಂದುಗಳನ್ನು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಿ ಈ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡಿಲ್ಲ. ದೇಶಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ಸೇವೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲು ನಾನು ಸದಾ ಸಿದ್ಧ,” ಎಂದಿದ್ದರು. ಅವರ ಕ್ಷಮಾಪಣಾ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ಆಕ್ರೋಶಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿತ್ತು.

ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿಂದೂಗಳ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಸರ್ವೇಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಅವಹೇಳನಕಾರಿ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ನೀಡುವ ನಾಯಕರುಗಳ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಕ್ರಮ ಇಲ್ಲ ಏಕೆ?
