My previous blog ended with "its high time to review the relationship between SON/DAUGHTER and mother. But sorry to say that for seeing my INTELLECTUAL(?) work on that part you need to wait for a while as it would be in my next blog, so here I am BACK with a BLOG (don't know whether it is BANG).
Not many decades back, in this nation Mother used to be treated and respected as GODDESS and her decisions, be in education, marriage, trivia anything used to be sacred. She was the ONE-and-ALL of the child from the day she/he kicked in womb 2 birth 2 adolescent(not to mention later as WIFE enters the picture). This made children have a close relationship with her and gave them more avenues and things to share making them closer.
But nowadays, we are modern; life has changed, we are more educated and tech-savvy. We have many more things to do before we thing about her as time is limited and opportunities are limited making the competition stiff and neck2neck. No mistakes of we, children almost in majority of cases. To add to it, we can't pay special homage and Thanks to LPG reforms + boom of IT sector+ growing(though Already GROWN enough) popularity of the concept of Nuclear families, we see our mother not on a daily basis but a six-monthly/annual basis(as our SEMESTER/TERM Exams).
Hope you all had a fantastic Mother's Day(official day 2 show love/respect and care) and a weekend.
Don't you think its high time for examination/ introspection about whether the Mother-Child(Male/Female/Others) relationship TRAIN is rolling on track? If yes, what would you term it,"an EXPRESS train or a Passenger one? If no, why not, is what we need to see, ponder and then decide ki kitne paani me hum(M-C relation) hain.
You may feel awkward and irritated with the fact that I have started a blog with QUESTIONS. But I did it deliberately as in 21st century(ULTRA-modern) society when morals or values have been undermined by technology or Sustainable Development(Jaha bhi jaoge Mujhe hi paoge), many relationships have changed, if not in NAME surely in TRUE MEANING.
Out of those many relations, one is M-C relation, one of the most auspicious, famous and respected relations in human history and civilisations. I may sound weird and CRITICAL PARENT( a concept of Transaction Analysis) but this is what I have observed over the years and documenting what I perceived as below.

Now after seeing the two terminals of M-C relation, how do you evaluate this transition(Demographic/Cultural/Economic/Social) leading to erosion of it? Whether its shaking(if not uprooting) this TREE which has mother as its ROOT and children as the BRANCHES and their achievements(social/economic/political) as LEAVES and FRUITS? Or its fine yaar, itna chalta hain.
Combining Natural Sciences and Social Sciences, I have postulated the following 3 LAWS of Mother-Child(M-C) relation(using Newton's Laws of Motion):-
- First law: When viewed in a time period, the RELATION either remains at rest(static) or continues to move(dynamic) at a constant manner, unless acted upon by an VALUES(INTERNAL factor).
- Second law: V= kR; where V=Value, R=Relation and k=Happiness Factor
- Third law: Every value has an equal and opposite value (to counter i.e. the values of M and C both need to be inspected, controlled and self-regulated).
These so-called LAWS may go a long way in celebrating Mother's Day DAILY and not only on single day of the year. It is WE(C) who need to self-examine and test whether we have "V" (high enough) to get k>=1 in this M-C "R".
I have made my blog OPEN-ended and not a CLOSED one as Open system allows two-sided relation and not one-sided as closed. WE(C) are a critical element in this VVI relationship[using Newton chacha again, U(Understanding)=MC^2; "C"role is squared and hence higher]. We just need to decide whether to go for FISSION(Joint family breaking to Nuclear family or FUSION(Combining Small Families to create bigger ones). We are in a trade-off between "U-238" and "H".
See you SOON(with more vigour and venom of science ETC.)
