The Crocodile Story

A telephonic conversation between a working mother (who has to parlay personal and professional lives to come in aid of her husband in this era of high cost of living) and her 4yr old kid daughter:


"Momma, when are you coming home?"
"After 10 days, momma is really busy."
"Why not now?Come immediately.I am hungry, and take me to the park momma."
"Grandma will feed you, and papa will take you to the park, he will give you chocolates."
"No momma, come now.Papa is still in office."
"Kid,there are crocodiles at this place, and they are not letting me go.You have seen crocodiles na?They have eaten some people over here."
"Momma, you are brave,kill them and come back."
"Momma has killed two of them, there are ten more left."
"Momma, when will you kill all of them and come back?"
"Baby,it will take 10 more days."
"Will you stay in a tent?
"Yeah baby, in a tent.Baby, I have to hang up now, one crocodile is coming towards me, I have to kill this."
"Ok momma, you are sooo brave."
"Bye baby."
"B'bye momma."

Freedom of Choice Vs Burden of Legacy

When we are born, we are well taken care of since the day of inception,all through our childhood till we become self sufficient mature individuals to take on life's challenges, to choose the apt or inept, and ultimately to live a complete, wholesome life. Our parents keep us shielded from all adversities of life till we are able enough to handle them. Most of the times, to aid the parents all the friends and relatives also come to the rescue if needed.Thus a helpless human child who doesn't even know how to feed itself, grows upto becoming a full-fledged individual and in most cases, has to go in the footsteps of the family business, guided, ordered of imposed by elders. It's quite certain in most of the cases that the elders of the family want their ward to be the best economically, be in comfort, be more skilled to move ahead the heritage of the family, sect of society or country.

But at times it becomes bothersome for the newer generation if their right to choose is revoked.
