Bole toh Bindaas!!

Robbie Speaks on Discipline...

"It's my life", "I will do whatever I want", "I need space", "Rules are meant to be broken"
These words sometimes pierce into your ears and then your heart. There is a very thin line between discipline and feudalism, freedom and delinquency.

Littering on the roads, disregard for traffic rules, extra-marital affairs, all these things extend that thin line to infinity. Empathy is the most alienated word today. Antipathy shines. People have a tunnel shaped perspective in terms of understanding the utmost requirements of an enthralled individual in the society.

Teenagers are regulated in terms of going out with friends too often thinking themselves treated as slaves. Parents advise the nubile to get married to a well suited person for the whole family. You know the reply.

Family values, culture and social responsibility have become spineless. The elders are surviving on retirement pension plans. The once bread and butter provider has to re-think to ask his kids for a set of dentures. Expectation is his life support system

If you think, this has become too serious to talk about, this was a contemplative issue way back.

the problem here is not those who defy the rules..they are more common...problem arises for those who have to live in this mad world keeping their values intact..respecting the values yet keeping pace with the modern times....listening to parents n listening to frnds...peers...it's nt easy to manage them both together..requires a lot of juggling
