After a really long time I am writing a new blog post. If you see, last one was in 2009 and irony is that last post was about Swine flu and now a days I am virtually locked down at home due to Corona Virus.
Now about this post - I was watching this series "Flames" in MX Player. About 4 friends who met in a coaching class, got closed, some young romance, feeling etc.. good feeling and interesting to watch :), but this is not about series but about a lesson in last episode of this series which I really really liked and so thought, it is worth sharing with more people, even if you don't want to watch this series. If you have time and interested in such series, it is a good one too.
To give a context if it helps before watching video (or snippet) I want to share, mother of one boy forbidden him to go to coaching class as she caught his lie that he is having an affair with a girl and hiding stuff. Obviously like any parent, she felt it is her duty to be strict and stop boy from taking a wrong path as he may not be able to think things thru and might spoil his life by not focusing on right stuff like study. Nothing wrong in that.
Just then, coaching class teacher informed her about some question papers which can help in study and mother went to coaching to collect it. Teacher tried to help mother understand relationship of parent-child and that is the message I really liked. Teacher told a story which first angered the mother, as it is human that when someone tries to show what you might have done wrong and person goes defensive justifying that it was right move at that time. Probably mother was genuinely caring about her son so she went back and then teacher also told about boy, that once when he failed a test and he was afraid to go home.
"HOME" where everyone should feel safe and it is a place where everyone look to go to find peace, strength and sometime people avoid going there? Why that happens?
Now, spoiled enough, so you better watch it yourself on this link from TVF Flames Season 2 Episode 05
You can watch specific timing for this message - From 18:15 till 26:10.
I hope this message feels right to you also and helps in our life, especially parents to do a better job by supporting their children, not controlling their children.
