Where are we heading to??

If you are wondering about the phrase 'we' Yess. Its the so called 'Next Generation Youth'.
The drama of elopement by Srija showcases the intuitions of the youth towards the four lettered mysterious word 'love'.

Few weeks back my focus felt on a programme in some channel when Ramyakrishna the former heroine interviews Mohanbabu veteran Hero.
The interview goes like this.

RamyaKrishna:Meeku devudu eduti valla manasu telusugogala varam iste meru modata evari manasu teusukuntaaru.
MohanBabu:Modata Vishnu and Manoj manasaulu telusuntaanu.
Vaallu nenu select chesina ammayini pelli cheukuntaara leka vaallu preminchi pelli chesukuntara?

RamyaKrishna:Adentandi..idi next generation kada..
Mohanbabu:Aithe entamma..vaallu ekkadi nunchi aina oodipaddara?
Memu ela puttamo valloo allage putaru ga?
Memu ela perigamo vallooo allage perigaaru ga?
Talli tandrulaki gouravam iyyani vaadu pasuvu amma!!

I’m not a fan of Mohanbabu and I rarely use to watch his movies. But what he spoke sounded impressive to me.
Not because for the reason neither in my family nobody eloped nor i don’t a girl friend.
For the simple reason i pay respect to elders.

None of the parents support their offspring’s decisions who display a malicious intent towards their customs and traditions and willing to renounce family.
(Some parents damn care about first reason , surrender for second)
Patience and unselfishness are the key areas (where the current generation are lagging behind) which hold a strong foot as far as human values are concerned.

If a single lacks these and elopes with his/her love then its utter rubbish/abnormal to say what a lucky person he/she is!
So my dear future elopers!!
Be strong hearted and explore the best non-violent path to convince your parents.



Ps: Inconvenience regretted for non-Telugus.

What mohanbabu said seems to be true, but limited truth. He trying to know his chilren mind thru powers obtained by God seems a bit too far fetched. He should have got it already being a father( good father. Now who said culture has something to do with marriage without parents permission? what if parents are incapable, have selfish reasons behind resisting a marriage proposal? how bout marriages done for political mileage, benifits, especially in India? how should one convince the desire to use ones child as a rope to reap benifits? well dude, its complicated and as a society i believe as long as a parent belives his upbringing is good and trusts his children, he would be happy with their decision. Problems do not arise out of disagreement in marriage proposals, but its just been waiting to happen between the generation. So i think its time to question the fundamentals of child care and parental responsibilities, c;se they are the ones who make or break the society even before their child prepares to be a part of it.

good one. All children must keep in mind one thing - what if their parents too had become selfish and didn't care for them and refrained from sacrificing anything for them.

@ Vish..
yeah thats true ..there are several cases where marriages are done for political mileages/benefits..and some paents do nourish their offsprings well..but dont support their independency when the matter of marriage arises..
But what if a girl/boy fall in love at the age of 14 or 15.
Do u think its love?
Dude..this is India ..there are proper rules and regulations set by our ancetores which if follwed will fetch better results..the elopements acts which we are witnessing now is just because not following those ancient and civilised customs.since there are no proper traditional customs the urge for framing constitutional laws for child care and parental responsibilities in US emerged out!!

@vinay.
yes thats a valid case ..theres a sloka in sanskrit which goes like this.."kuputro jaayetha kwachidapi kumata na bhavathi" means..there may be a selfish son but a selfish mother cannot exist.
If there are parents which are contradictory to above mentioned situation then do wat ever u do..**what mattters is end of the day are ur parents satisfied/conviced?? **

Well Said …..
I strongly object you on the lines…
So my dear future elopers!!
Be strong hearted and explore the best non-violent path to convince your parents.
How much percent of the parents are in the position to accept their kid’s decision? Especially towards the LOVE. In my view most of the parents first they will say ‘NO’ without listening the words of their kids.

If the kid falls in LOVE immediately the elders first think that their kid had committed a mistake. They will worry about the society and other surroundings, religion, cast and status etc. OK we can give excuse to all these things but if a good kid thinks all these things and loves a suitable person for their family and informs to their parents how much percent you vote that the elders will accept their kid’s decision?

The other way you already explained about the youth to elders. And also some youngsters sacrificed their LOVE for their parents. And also some of the elders accepted their kid’s decision towards their LOVE who understood that they can build their life.

So it is not only the duty of the youth to convince their parents but also parents should try to understand their kid’s words and illustrate them into a right path.

If both of them sits together and discuss then we will not see the suicide or murder cases towards LOVE in the news channels and papers.

Ps: Excuse me if any of my words hurts you

very well said Ram!

Amarnath Vangara said...

@Rams,
Yeah its true
If both parents and children sit and try to resolve the issue then end of the story,Happy ending.(In most cases)
But do the present youth contemplate about the feelings of parents, that too when the matter of 'love' arises is a big question mark??

And theres nothing in ur reply that hurts me ;)

Ee problems evi lekundaa undaali ante...pelli chesukokundaa unte saripothundi kada ra....tension undadu...

First, find the girl, woo her, propose her, convince her and then again try and convince your parents, etc. etc...why should someone has to bear with so many things when there are better things to worry about..

Remember the same applies even to a girl...so the solution for this article is not to get married, hence no elopes and all HAPPIES :)

aaaahaaa !!!! What a topic. Ikkada unna motham topics lo this is the topic which had maximum comments.

Eloping. I wish I can experience what it is. Take your bag of luggage. Jump the wall. Call the girl. Wait for her at the corner of her street. Then catch a vehicle and go to arya samaj. What an experience !! So exciting and fun filled and adventurous.

Unfortunately the girl I like is a Punjabi and a sikh. Now convincing my parents is more a difficult task. Now its not just a caste but also a religion. But I cant leave my parents. So some how I conveyed to them. The reaction was "Cheppuchuku kodatha". I tried to convince my best, but in vain. I gave them enough time to digest this news. But still they didnt agree.

So I dont have any other option other than eloping. After I have taken my luggage and was about to jump the wall, my mother woke me up. ;) Now that, eloping is something I was unsuccessful to experience in a dream how can I think of that in reality.

I dont know whether it is a serious topic or not, but for me it is funny. Love or Hate,

I WONT DO ANY THING THAT IS NOT LIKED BY MY PARENTS.
