All hue and cry that parents throttle babies before or just after birth ought to take a backseat as they are killing the very wants of their adult children. This mustn’t get pushed under the carpet.
I know you’d be wondering: Why ‘backward’ Humra is talking of love when the Valentine’s Day is weeks ahead! Well, I’m provoked enough to write on love, as it comes in the shadow of a news report of a young adult killing herself in the Capital, because her parents had throttled the strains of love in her life.
Ironical as it may sound, in the maddening craze for the upcoming Valentine’s Day, here’s this budding affair getting ruthlessly trampled by parents themselves.
Why are parents crushing love in the harshest possible ways? Why don’t they accept the fact that young adults have their very own hearts well tucked at one end of their fragile chests? Why don’t they realise that for many amongst us emotional wants could be more crucial than, say, daily bread ? Why don’t we introduce ‘Love’ as a subject in one of the outreach programmes for parents, because emotions related to love seem little understood by all those controlling powers in the interiors of our homes ?
All that hue and cry that parents throttle babies before or just after birth ought to take a backseat , as parents are killing the very wants of their adult children…and with that turning into killers of children! Yet these killings more often than not get pushed under the carpet in many middle-class and upper-class families.
