“No you can’t work, the women in our family don’t work. How much more do you want to study… enough. We won’t be able to find a husband as qualified as you are!”
“I can’t talk to my parents about him, I’ll only be sitting at home…and I just can’t do that.”
“Just once I tried smoking and she got to know. I told her I am not into anything and now all mom does is doubt me, always asking me where am I going, what am I doing, what the hell leave me alone!”
“Granny and I were watching the news where the girl got raped by the cab guy. She was returning home at 3 am from work and granny blames her for the rape…so tomorrow if I am in her place I’ll be blamed na…nonsense!”
“Pa, I like this course, its not so expensive... I want to do it.” “No need, concentrate on losing weight!”
“Why does she have to be so nice and caring towards him he doesn’t do anything, he doesn't even care. I come home tired, I do the chores…and she doesn’t talk to me properly.”
“There is someone that I really love and he is the one I want to marry.” “oh, so this is what happens...send you to do this post graduation and all...Here on no going to college, you are not doing anything. No going out, nothing.”
“ I have to go it’s 11:30pm… dad will kill me if he sees me still chatting, my brother has not come home as yet…anyway will catch you later, bye.”
“Where are you going? With whom are you going? What time are you coming back?”
“Why are you wearing shorts and going out … you just want to attract attention!”
“They just want to get rid of me…why…I don’t want to get married now.”
“Don’t whistle, girls don’t whistle…it doesn't look nice.”

Hi Anonymous-SPD
Hmm...
Hi Nelson,
:) thanks for dropping by.
Dont knw if i shud intrude... but please remember ur own thoughts now ... when u r in ur parents shoes.. maybe u will encourage ur daughter to wear shorts and go out ... maybe u will not fear what ur kid is upto ..whom is she meeting?? maybe u will say to hell with society as if it dint matter..?? not my place to say anything ..coz a boy gets to do what he wants.. so maybe i wudnt understand ur POV.. maybe u havent thought as far ahead as I am leading you to think...
Also maybe I have succeeded to push my point across.. if not ..ignore this..!!
Hey R,
Anybody n everybody is welcome to scribble in here....so thanku for dropping by n telling me wht u think. well..I didnt really get what u are trying to say... but yeah I do put myself in my or any other parents place to understand what they feel n think. But they must have faith n respect their children's decisions too at some point of time...children grow n learn n can live n control their own lives.
