The saying, “Blood is thicker than water” is wrong. This is what the perception you would arrive at if you keep watching Indian News channels. It is not an exaggerated statement if someone said, “Choose indigestion by watching morning news or get insomnia by watching night news”. I do agree that things are getting worsening day-by-day however, at times, it is the media that gives undue importance to such news making them prominent as if nothing else has happened around.
It is all about the double murder case from Noida. I am not sure who the real killer is and what was the motive? However, this case has opened a can of worms and has exposed the lethargic approach of our Police towards crime cases. With this attitude, how can we feel secure in their hands? The dealings of Police are a different issue to be discussed here. We may not know the other side of this story. There is no need for the Police to give all the detail to us when the case is sub-judice and the investigation is not completely through.
However, the media, in the name of competition, makes things worse. They blame the police for inaction and with whatever little information they get, they make a mountain out of a mole. Speculations galore and literally they indulge in mud-sling involving the concerned. None is bothered about the mental-trauma the concerned are subjected to.
This blog is not about these two facts which I have already mentioned in many of my blogs. This is all about Parent-ward relationship. Not long ago, invariably, every blog-site was bombarded with blogs giving parenting tips to Fiona in the Scarlett case. Now this has happened at home. What are we going to do about this?
It is a bitter truth that nowadays parent-ward relation is getting poor. Hardly, parents do spend value time with their wards. There are parents who are unaware in which their ward is studying. Every one of us is running behind money. We need money badly as the materialistic demands are on the rise. We are more concerned about the status-symbol the society provides us. The respect for an individual is no longer available. It is only for the status-symbol or bluntly put – it is for the display of your wealth.
In the hunt of money, we forget the relations. The houses are no longer homes. We use it only for sleeping & for daily morning routines. Houses have become self-run hotels. The father leaves for work before his ward wakes and returns only when they are asleep. Their expression of love is demonstrated by throwing parties, expensive gifts and celebrating Mother day / Father day / Child’s day etc.,
Can sex drive one to the extent of killing his own kin? Can he be classified as a human? Is he a literate or how can we term him? In what way he is different from animals – only difference is the dress he wears?
We are slowly transforming into animals and we indulge in sex with whoever we come across. No longer has sex involved mental participation. It has become a routine activity to vent out our urges. TV serials depict this in an elaborate manner that one can learn how to have an extra-marital affair without being get caught. In India, there is no sin as long as you are not caught (or convicted). Courtesy TV, such happenings which were in the sole possession of rich has now being distributed among the middle-class section and also the rural areas.
Children who watch these TV serials perceive these as walk of life. They are immature enough to ascertain right or wrong and they indulge in misdeeds. They need the warmth of caring from parents. When this is not available, they believe the subjects from whom they get this.
There were days when the parents were busy earning for the family, grand-parents filled the void and sowed values among the younger generations. In the name of nuclear family, we eliminated this possibility also. Children are unaware of our mythology, our culture. Children often behave the way their parents used to. If we set a wrong example, then we have no rights to blame all other. Hope the present-day parents learn from such events!
