Time has changed!! So many changes around me..parents react easily to things which they made it seem as a big issue before ..or probably i should say we are all growing old :(...Anyway its a good change :)
Im gonna list all those things(whatever i remember) that have changed!!
Appo(when i was in school),getting up at 7:30 was a BIG SIN, I remember my mom yelling from the kitchen "Nee enna pana poriyo!!" and i was left with no choice but to get up.And now she makes sure my bedroom is closed so that even an insect cant disturb me and doesn't wake me up even if its 10,and if I get up at 8 thinking that she is gonna kill me for this..she would say "Enna??got up so soon!!innum konjam rest edu!!"
Before, going out during weekends was considered waste of time and my parents always thought i could use it for studying!!...You get the permission only if you had asked 2 weeks in prior and u need to stick to conditions like coming back by 3!!and they would send the only mobile phone at home with me so that they can keep calling and asking "Where are you!!vittuku vara idea irruka??"
But now,staying home on weekends has become like a favor to them!!They never call me even if I'm late,probably my dad would call and ask "do you want me to come and pick you up?would you be back home safe?Do you want mom to cook food for you??",which makes you feel guilty when you are expecting an angry mom or dad calling!!
Before!! "amma oru 50 rupees venum" (very obediently) ..for that my mom would be like "Wat are you gonna do with so much money??" :O and I also would promptly tell all that i would do with that FIFTY RUPEES :)
Now she gives me in hundreds each time i go out and insists me on taking the card :P
I used to be so scared to ask even small things..starting from those kutti elle18 nail polishes,a barbie doll or even a board game,they used to promise me such gifts only if i get a centum in all the subjects in the whatever exam that followed knowing it was next to impossible (not that i was a buddhu :P)
Now do we even care to ask our parents, don't we right away walk to the shops and get them!! But one thing which i definitely need to be happy about is unlike most of the parents,my parents never forced me to study!!
These are the few things out of a big list which i remembered that have changed hugely for me..
But I'm sure if my parents had not reacted that way before,I would have gone nowhere,kettu kutti suvarudhan..And if they reacted the same way even now,again kettu kutti suvarudhan!!
Aren't we all thankful to our parents who have brought us up so well and have treated us depending on our age and have given us the freedom of thought and expression at the right times!!
This post is to thank my parents and wishing them a HAPPY 26th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!! :)

ReplyDeleteThank u sudha. It is indeed every parent has a dream about their children and also wants their children to come up in their life to the maximum possible. There is a saying in Thirukkural
ReplyDelete" Eendra pozhudhir peridhuvakkum than maganich
chandron enak ketta thai"
that is - in short - Mother will be extremely happier - when she hears that people saying his son is very intelligent/leanrned/or when he is praised - than at the time of birth of his son.
So don't be serious, and try to understand whatever we said - thittinadhu - it is nothing but for betterment in yourlife.
All the best,
your loving parents
