A Short Story (Movie scene)...
There was a couple living on the outskirts of a small town. One day the girl saw a kite hanging out there on the chimney of their pitched roofed house and a little boy was standing there staring at the kite. The girl climbed on the roof immediately with a ladder and at the same time, her husband just arrived at the gate. He wanted to stop her but didn't. The words were just out of his mouth - Honey probably you should get down but all that he said was - careful. He went to the other side of the house from where he thought she could fall if she lost control. She looked down for him and wondered where did he go. Turning around she saw him lost her control and tripped. He was just able to grab her waist and was worried if she damaged her head but thank goodness she didn't. They lay there on top of each other pretending like nothing had happened.
What makes the story worth telling? We have some people in our life whom we love and all we want is their betterment. But at times we snatch their free thinking, thinking the what we are doing is for their own betterment. This is mostly the case with parents. On the other hand in some cases we want our soul mates to be independent thinkers. Have their own thoughts and rules. You might slip a slight suggestion at some point in time but you are happy to see them happy. You set them free but if you think that they are doing it wrong you are always there to help them out without and comments.
A father tries to give everything that he was not able to get in his childhood to his son but he never asked if he ever wanted all that. He asked him whether he wanted to take engg. or medical and that he thought was his son's obvious choices as his child got good marks in those subjects - the truth being the boy himself was not sure where his interest lied at that point. The father might have trouble getting a job and so he doesn't want me to face that and forces his son to get a campus placement in a fine college - secure and foolproof. But what does the boy want? Father never asked and son never told because some part of him says he won't understand.
So what kind of relationship is right? I think both the scenarios with the right proportion is ideal. You just have to get the mix right - that's the secret of a happy relationship with your loved ones
