What is wrong with Indian parents and society?
Indian parents and society should protect children like a cavity instead of criticizing or demolishing them. Mostly, Indian parents always compare their children with others, thinking this will motivate their children for better results. However, they don’t realize that this indirectly instills jealousy and competition in the child's mind. I see this behavior in many parents and teachers, where they scold children by saying that you is bad in study, your mind is week and you will never achieve anything in life, repeating it often. This behavior feeds into the child's subconscious mind, and eventually, the child believes that they truly won't achieve anything. I want to relate this to the story of Thomas Alva Edison. As a child, his teacher sent him home with a letter and asked him to give it to his mother. When Edison gave the letter to his mother, he asked what was written in it. She replied that the letter said, "Your child is very intelligent, and my school doesn’t have any scholar teachers who can teach him." After his mother's death, Edison found the letter one day and became curious to know what was actually written in it. When he read the letter, he found out that it said, "Your child is very poor, and we can’t teach him." So here, you see the power of words and the intelligence level of his mother, how she changed Edison's life just by changing a few words. This shows the power of small words, which we often don’t give importance to. Parents never ask their children about their happiness and desires. They always think about others first—like what stream the neighbor's child is taking—so that, accordingly, their own child should also take that subject to maintain reputation in society. They emphasize their child to take that stream, irrespective of their desire, which is why children quickly burn out from their studies. Many of them even commit suicide. In Kota last year, approximately 20-25 students committed suicide, which is why Kota is called the "Suicide Capital." When making decisions about their child's career, parents shouldn’t emphasize too much on what career their child should choose. They should give their child the freedom to choose a career based on their interests so that they can enjoy their studies, have curiosity to learn more, and think and analyze about it. This can't happen when a child is forced into a stream by their parents because they aren't interested. In that case, their mind is always focused on finishing quickly and escaping from the situation. If later on, they fail in their career or in that subject, they will have more potential to overcome the situation because it is their passion, and they won’t quit easily. Parents should teach children to accept failure from a young age so that they build patience and the ability to handle failure and know how to overcome it. Failure is a part of life, which you can't remove, but you can certainly decrease it through past learning experiences. In India, on TV channels or in newspapers or magazines, there should be at least one program that teaches parents how to behave and build a bond with their children in a psychological way. This way, they can give suggestions, even negative ones, in a positive way—like Edison's mother. Parents should also spend some time with their children, trying to understand their feelings and thoughts. Many times, children are in trouble but are unable to express it to their parents due to restrictions. At such times, they find themselves alone and may take wrong steps. The ultimate aim of parents is to keep their children happy and successful, but their wrong approach and the pressure they put on their children—because of society, relatives, and colleagues—only pushes them in the opposite direction. Instead, parents should handle that pressure themselves and protect their children from it. That’s what real or "hero" parents do.

Untold Responsibility of an Elder Brother
Today I'm going to tell about the untold lovingness and care of elder brother which you never see in his eye and never feel like in same way when you see a glass of water then you can't be able to know that salt is present or not you can only know by testing it (In the same way, you can know how much your brother care about you when you come in trouble otherwise you never know because some relationships never show you how much they want you and love they become strict for you in normal circumstances and sacrifice many desires and maintain discipline by keeping in mind (that) if I do this then what impact goes will have on my small sibling so he sacrifices his own childhood in childhood and always stays like older than own age for sending positive and good behavior to his own sibling but nowadays small siblings hate own elder brother by thinking that he is restricted on from my happiness and spoiling my childhood so they start to be jealous with elder brother and always try to fight with him and insult him. But times As time go by, and when they have become mature and separate from their brother and they are stuck in any emergency, then they suddenly remember brother their brother and think if brother is there then he can overcome help me overcome me in anyhow by this situation, and then they realize the value of salt, like a brother if present then is not important, and if not present then how ugly it is. That's why the Sage says to give respect to the elder brother even more than God. I see in many families, the elder brother, since childhood due to economic issues, does not go to school himself but tries to work and pay the fees of his younger sibling. His only dream is, "I'm not a scholar, but my sibling should be a scholar and become a good government officer." However, if the younger brother becomes an officer, he forgets all the sacrifices of his brother and feels ashamed of saying "namaste" and introducing him in front of colleagues or any friends. He behaves like his brother is a servant, or worse than a servant. He thinks he is ultramodern, and his brother is uneducated and stupid. So now, he always tries to insult his brother and engages in showing himself as smarter, not wanting to go home or stay with that family in the village. His eyes become blind in the light of the city, but the corona period proved that you may become rich, but in the village, your family relationship should stay strong. Even if your family is not in the village, you should keep even a small home in the village, so that in a pandemic situation, you can go home and overcome the pandemic situation. On earth, every relationship is based on profit, except your sibling relationship. There is no other relationship whose intention is not to gain profit. Your friends leave you when you become poor, or when your situation becomes bad, your wife starts to comment on you about your situation, but only your brother will cooperate with you and give you suggestions on how to overcome the situation. He is the only person who thinks without acting for himself. For example, when buying any item, he thinks, "Does my brother have this item, or does he need it?" If he doesn't buy something, it might be because his brother can buy something else more important, which they need more than him. Family relationships teach you how to stay happy in sacrifice for your sibling, and truly, you feel more happiness in sacrifice than in gaining any item. Now I want to end my story by saying, never fight or insult your elder brother. Even if he misbehaves with you, try to understand and know that he is in some kind of trouble or upset for some reason. Now the time has come to give back your responsibility to him and work with him like a god.
