Care. Cry. Change.

My mum just sent me a message. I am sharing it with you. It stirred a thought in me. I am sure it will for you too.

"We make them cry who care for us.

We cry for those who never care for us.

And we care for those who will never cry for us.

This is the truth of life, it's strange but true.

Once you realise this it's never too late to change."

Yours truly!

Mothers, boy-friends, etc.

[This post is a work of real life experience and any resemblance to the life of any person, living or dead is purely coincidental...NOT!]

Have you grown up hearing your mum warn you about the boy next door or your classmate or that friend from your tution? Yes! that very friend who you were 'chaddi-buddies' with and who she was so cool with till maybe you turned a teen. A few lectures on how you are now growing up and how your relation with the opposite sex changes. Didn't she frown every time you were on the phone with him for more than 10-15 minutes irrespective of who he was? Terms like 'sex' and 'gender' which you thought were synonyms so long seemed to be not really so in the real world!

Soon, you had guy friends your mum did not know about. All parties you went to prima facie seemed to be all-girl parties. You heard stories of how she was a bad girl as she had a boyfriend. Courtesy your mother. And if you yourself had a boyfriend, you thought to yourself, "Not a big deal. He's just a friend who is a guy!" Otherwise, "Ohhh! I can tell this to my other friends. She has a special friend." Our ideas on who a boyfriend was may not have been clear yet we all had an opinion.

Many of us actually opined that having a boyfriend was not really good. So we either hid the fact or chose not to have one. And. Wait for the right time, as the mums would advise. I know of a few who actually ran away from guys not wanting to disappoint their parents. Funny but true. A fact all of us in our hearts know. It's not just you and me but what maybe many of us have gone through. Forbidden territory, it thus remains!

Years later, once we cross that twenty-four year old mark and mothers become friends, the same question crops again. This time with a different aspect added to it. Marriage! If you were not good (I'd prefer calling smart) enough and you have a boyfriend, good for you else face it. That ordeal of proposals, random exchange of mails, dates. Which remind you of some old Hindi cinema. You curse your mother for having warned you against having a boyfriend. Hyprocrisy at its best, is what you come to believe.

Hyprocrisy or not, I do not know. Maybe it's that extra concern a parent has for their children. Come to think of it, rationally, some day we will turn parents and maybe we will impose the same demands. The other day I heard my sister tell her 6-month old daughter "You're this tiny. You fit into my hands completely. Someday you will grow old, choose someone for yourself and then go away!" My niece may not have understood but I, as the witness of a mother-daughter conversation, understood. The concern, the fear. This is how it must have been with our mothers and this is how it will be the day we all turn mothers. Certain things do not change. This is one of those things!
