LETTER FROM A DISTRAUGHT MOTHER- ---- 

GENERATION GAP OR GREAT EXPECTATIONS!

Hi Son!

What did you mean yesterday? All of a sudden you will announce something and I will believe ? You didn't even dress up for a party!!

As it is because of your Dad I am tensed . Yesterday also mujhe chakkar aane laga tha( I was nauseating and swooning). You keep on talking about 1.5 lacs....did we ever say how much we have spent on you through all these years since you came into this world? Moreover we are not beggars....we your parents in trouble asked for your help.

And what are you doing with your life ...just running after girls! Do you ever ask if anything is needed or not? Boys at least hand over some money to moms...all my friends' kids do. Do you? We literally beg from you...we begged for the money before, for which we hear  every time from you. Your father asked for a phone so many times that you didn't get. I asked so many times for some new crockery , but you didn't get, although, I asked for it several times. It was not for me son, it was for home, our home.

You didn't even make an effort to complete your education . Not even through correspondence . You could have very well taken those papers left at the college, it was easy, but you did not. By this time you would have been highly educated..... but you refused that too; I don't know why but you keep telling lies again and again. 

You don't even look for a new better job option!! Do you want to stagnate at a place or are you so mad after that girl. Remember nobody is worth your life so much other than you, your parents and siblings( who love you selflessly, rest of the world is mostly selfish). No outsider is worth putting your career on hold. Think about your good , your families betterment and your betterment on the whole. This is the time when you can achieve so much, not later when you settle down and start a family and remember son, only that partner is good who will advice you well, will guide you towards your goals, not the one who will run after your money and rest. Don't get so overboard that later if that person ditches you , you lose it all.

  You don't do anything that I tell you for your good. I told you to buy a car instead of that bike but you didn't.  Atleast then you could have used it. Now that bike is standing since months- serviceless. You don't even take the car we gifted you for maintenance and servicing. Every thing goes on with you, once loved, taken care of. So with machines, as well as human beings.

I am just telling you what I think. I don't want a discussion on this or want to hear from you later about this. If you learn from this, good. If you want to be negative, your wish. Remember negativity breeds itself and the similar with positivity. The choice is yours.

You talk rudely with everyone...get angry at the smallest of things. Where is that good person whom I have nurtured and seen grow....lost somewhere!!!

 If you can change, please change yourself. Think of your career, education, your old self and family. I cry at times when alone because of you and papa. You both have disappointed me.

Do me a favour...can you? Find me my son if you can....

Mumma
