Well, once I finished reading this I was asking questions to me. Did I forget to dream? Was I too busy in my childhood pursuing whatever my parents told, that I got no time to identify what I liked? Did I forgot to set an aim ? Did I became a person who loves to enjoy whatever I do eventhough I never feel satisfied? As a husband am I standing in the way of my wife who always has a lot of dreams which I never think is realizable? As a parent am I still making my children do what my parents did to me? Made me introspect a lot and hope I can let my children free and support them to dream and chase that dream rather than guiding them on my lines.

Did I forget to dream?
Was I too busy in my childhood pursuing whatever my parents told, that I got no time to identify what I liked?
Did I forgot to set an aim ?
Did I became a person who loves to enjoy whatever I do eventhough I never feel satisfied?
As a husband am I standing in the way of my wife who always has a lot of dreams which I never think is realizable?
As a parent am I still making my children do what my parents did to me?
Made me introspect a lot and hope I can let my children free and support them to dream and chase that dream rather than guiding them on my lines.

Today’s children need such support from parents.

Sometimes as parents we are not able to fulfil all the expectations of our own children, though there are students who literally deify us, as their teachers. Kudos, candid writing and all the best for Karan! May he become a great musician! grt Shalini, straight from the heart.

We teach our children to follow their dreams, and they do, but then we end up with a lack of students in the fields of engineering and computer science! So many Humanities, Social Science, and Music majors, and not enough jobs to go around for all of them! Wonderful post. . . Here in the U.S., we are at the other extreme.
