Daddy: How was your exam dear?
Me: Oh daddy, it was very chill..
(me using the word chill just left my dad in the state of ambiguity as on what context am I using that word..😂)
Daddy: okay so you people say it as chill..
Me: (laughing).., daddy it was very easy..
So next day again he rings me up to ask about my next exam..
Me: hello.., daddy..!(in a very happy tone..)
Daddy: umm.., it seems today too your exam was chill..
Me: haha..dad, yes..
The above slab of conversation that I had with my dad just left me into a reverie that our parents do bring in alteration in their ways to break this wall of generation gap and to ease up the equation we share with them..
Well.., here the question on which I will like to throw a light is that..,"Is it easy for them?"
You know what.., It's natural human tendency to resist change.., and so is for our parents.. but still they just do to share a friendly equation with us.
Yes.., deep down we all know this.., but still.., I can actually recollect millions of mother-daughter tiff that I have had over something super frivolous and core reason that I state for it is difference of opinion or to be more precise because of generation gap.
Yes.., we all can actually picture moments wherein we would have waved off the topic saying.."oh..,mumma.., you are so old school.." or maybe just saying.."that is something your generation people used to do not us.."
Our parents have their own certain values and belief system which they had formed during their growing up years.. and may be those are different from what we think that is because we formed it at later stage.
So why not try to mould ourselves a little and get down to their path and look through it from their perspective and reach a mid ground and try to bridge up the gap.
That would be an ideal state and difficult to implement in reality but then if our parents can change the fabric of their time and ethos of their thinking then why can't we just mould ourselves a little and try to achieve that ideal state..
Yes.., we can right..! Just think over it..!
