Fifty years before during school days we had a different perception of life perhaps no perception of life at all!.Our main motto was to find more time for plays on the grounds or on the courtyards to take a variety of foods,fruits,and to vile away time chatting with friends.we loved saturdays and sundays very much and used to dream of accidental holidays even on death of some VIPs.What we used to hate maximum was schools and studies.Studies were the last priority in our life.We used to hate special tuitions also.But some parents were smart enough to arrange unemployed youngsters on evenings.our main concern during his class was to despise of him as quickly as possible.
During those days most of us believed that studies meant reading.Some parents used to proudly say that their children are reading for MA ,BA etc.So we used to read aloud our favourite subjects malayalam or social studies that can be reasonably understood by parents and used to frequently look up the wall clock to reach 8 o clock for the supper !
Unlike the present day parents,those days parents believed that the ultimate motto in life is to prepare food day in and day out and to find everyone including guests at home.they used to get up at 4'o clock in the morning take bath in cold water and begin their routine job of cooking of a different variety of dishes.Many times the smoke of firewood and smell of dishes used to deviate our concentration and we used to evade studies ( reading ) during the only period of studies ,ie,from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm.It is a routine that we go to bed at 9 pm and sleep like rocks till we are woken up by somebody in the morning.
during high school days things went worse.daily 4'o clock we had to get up in the morning mostly to sleep at the study table! if parents alert us in between ,we read again with reasonable intensity in the beginning that leads to minimum in few minutes.parents used to feed proud that their children take a lot of interest in studies and one day they would become big bosses!
during college days,they never used to interfere in our studies as we had created an impression that we were engaged in a very serious method of studies and parents should not control us.they used to give their children rich and fatty foods and viewed that the fattiest person was the most healthy one! anybody with a fat tummy was given due respect those days.
Like in every field transformation took place in the field of rearing of children and in their behaviour. now in the morning at around 8'o clock we have top wake up our children by shaking their body to and fro two to three times! Before that we must ensure that the big head set is removed from his/her ears! he will get ready in half an hour n you should go and take the tiffin carrier or water bottles from the school or college bag.1 tea snacks etc should be kept ready well in advance so that he will have a look at them and will declare that there is no time for taking them !parents should remember not to argue with or advise him at this moment so that he is not disturbed on the incoming/outgoing calls on mobile.
The boy reaches house at 7 pm after tuition throwing the 'weight' on his back somewhere and straightaway rushes to the computer..! any tea/ snacks on the computer table remains cold for hours-very carefully he moves the mouse in between them till 9'o clock and will go to sleep till 10.30.parents should wait and invite him for the dinner.mostly two to three times it is to be heated before he takes the supper and his studies start at 11 pm and ends at 2.30 am or 3.30 am next day and he falls asleep with lights on ,headset on ears and in his college /school uniform! He sleeps on almost everything including laptops.chargers,bed sheets blankets,books ,bags..!!
If u get some time for discussing with them,they will advise you that people of older generation have a false notion that one should have a routine in their life and they should be systematic in their approach.They believe that it is a waste of time in arranging books on table and segregating the washed up dress from the rest !they will establish that the world is functioning well with all disorders and one should learn to live up among disorders.Taking food especially fruits and vegetables etc is of no use and for health only chicken and mutton is useful.Only unintelligent people spend time in daily shave and monthly haircut.as per them one should learn everything through internet and keep interacting with society only through facebook and mobile phone and every student should learn life through this media and not through the advice of parents or books!They also insist that when internet is there ,we should not spend money for newspapers ,magazines etc.most of the youngsters value friendship more and are trying self reliance at an early stage.
The world of competition and the zest for independence cause stress in their minds.Lack of better planning of activities and uncertainties in the field of work and anxiety about future are the main road blocks for the development of congenial,smooth and healthy attitudes among the young generation!
