Love comes with a price tag

"kiddo..don't do this, it's not good". From the time we are born we are told , do this - do that and what not. Forget about our family even our own friends who should ideally be understanding us also tell us what to do. Do these people really love us. If yes then they wouldn't do this to us is the only thought that comes to my mind everytime.

How many times we would have heard the word (esp from teenagers), ' Ma, Pa, Give me a break'. Trust me these people really need a break. Take a vacation guys not literally but from your stereotypic thoughts. Our thoughts should pass on the positivity in us. Sex has always been a taboo subject in Indian society. No wonder our kids are more intrigued by it than Geometry or Trigonometry. If only we make all these subjects taboo too.

I am not saying even if kids do something dangerous encourage them. But let's stop restricting them for everything. Their creative abilities will never come out in open if we do that. They want to be like air free flowing and we want to tie them into a balloon. Remember even the balloon will burst one day.

My 3 1/2 year old son said the other day, Ma i know the difference between boy and girl. I was cooking at that time - I was too shocked to react and composed myself and remained calm. Very casually he walks upto me and says, ' Ma Girls have long hair and wear skirts and frocks, Boys have short hair and wear jeans & shorts'. I couldn't stop myself from Smiling and gave him a huge hug. They know things that are unimaginable to us. They speak language that we wouldn't have even thought of in that age. They have a great memory, even remember things that they did when they were very small. So guys chill our children are into quite a fast generation so leave them as they are.

Finally bottom line is Live and Let Live. Breathe and Let Breathe.
