Riot in London

I have not been to my blogg for a while. May be due to my laziness! Yep I am been lazy off late!. I want to write a lot but just postpone all my ideas I don’t know why. May be I am too tired  because nearing forty?!!!

Lots of things happened since last I wrote something here. It is not only past makes me to write its also the present which hurts and make me to write. It was riot in London. I was lucky I never felt the heat of it other than my mother’s frequent call! She didn’t believe me, when I said to her there is no problem for me. She thought I was lying! All thanks to international media coverage.

Someone died and started the riot. I cannot believe in that is the main cause for all these fighting. I think this country should weak up now. Basic cause for all these problems is the law in this country. Can anyone believe that the youngest like eleven year olds were among looters! I knew this is what going to happen when people do not know what is happening with the young once. When we were kids, we had fear of parents, teachers, any elders and lawmakers. But this country think that kids having fear will hamper their development!, but it will not create rouge citizens!!

House is the first school, and mother is the first teacher. This is what told to me when I was a kid and I think everyone believe this. Yesterday I was travelling on the national express east Anglia from Stratford to home, since Sunday not much crowded. There was a buggy with father standing next to it and mother sitting by the side, they were young couple, in between the talk mother said ‘F’ word to the husband (it is western culture wife or husband no need to have respect because people in this country started forgetting the word respect!!!). After couple of station father said something to the kid. She told him the ‘F’ word! I was shocked

Cause root for all these according to me is the fear. I feel the law in this country gives too much freedom to the younger generation. In the name of modernisation, the teenagers in this country act crazy on the street. They don’t care about parents or elders not even teachers and by the name of law they are given more rights than they should be. Kids are like clay, however we mould them they take the shape! If we don’t have right to mould them they will be rotten. Once it is rotten it is just a blame game politicians blame parents! Parents blame teachers! Teachers blame politicians! Who is responsible?!

I feel that India need to learn from this. I have seen parents in India and the government trying to follow the western culture in the name of modernisation and civilisation. I don’t think we need this kind of brutish behaviour. We should be happy what we are, but it is fashion to follow western culture. It is unfortunate that people does not understand the prize for this.
