A good statement on parenting

 

Ma-baap ke dil

 Zindagi main aksar aese jawab milte hain, insaan ko kuch der ke liye chup lag jaati hai

'Chat-group' pe dostoN ki gup-shup chal rahi thi - kisi ne poocha: "Sab se ziyada dukh kahan milte hain?"

Aik ne jawab diya: "Ma-baap ke dil main!'

Worst thing to teach children

 Yesterday I got a piece of very sensible advice:

"Apni aulad pe sab se ziyada zulm tum us waqt kerte ho jab unhe nafrat kerna sikhate ho"

(The worst thing you can do to your children is to teach them to hate)

Maut aur Aulad

We knew and he himself knew that death is not far.

Magar jab meri us se aakhri mulaqat hui to apni maut ko bhool ker woh der tak mujh se apni bachhi ki batain kerta raha, us ki tasveerain dikhata raha - aur phir bazoo tham ke kehne laga - "us bachhi ke aansu nahi dekhe jaate"

Aur main sochta raha: "Duniya main ye sirf aulad ki muhabbat hi hai jo insaan ko maut se bhi begaana ker deti hai"

On "The Garden Party"

Aap Katherine Mansfield ko english literature ka 'Haseena Moeen' keh sakte hain. She died at a very young age of 34 (pata nahi achhe log jaldi kiun mar jaate hain).

Katherine Mansfield ne wese to kai 'short stories' likhin magar jis kahani ne use dawam bakhsha woh thi "The Garden Party" (you can read here)

Ye ek baRi halki phulki si kahani hai. Ye kahani aik aesi larki ki hai, jo zindagi main pehli baar us ki talkhiyoN se aashna hoti hai - aur kahani ka ikhtitam aik  zara se 'shock' pe hota hai. 

Waise to is kahani pe bohat kuch likha gaya hai aur internet pe aap ko is ke kai 'analysis' milaiN ge - magar main ye kahani paRh ke sochta raha:

 "Hum apne bachhoN ko zindagi ki dhoop se bacha kar phooloN ki tarah paalte hain. Kya hum un ke saath dhoka nahi to kam az kam na-insaafi to nahi kerte?"

Yahi is kahani ka bunyadi sawal hai - Jis ka jawab hum sab dhoondh rahe hain.

(Aur shayad yahi sawal is kahani ko lazawal banata hai).
