This is a topic of real concern.
When we were kids, our parents taught us to give respect to our elders and not to speak ill of them. We were trained
to prostrated before the elders and to seek their blessings, on special days. The kids who found fault with others were
referred to as 'pinchula pazhuththadhu'!
On Sundays, I see a kids show on a TV channel. Some kids are really very arrogant and tell the anchor of the show,
'nee oru dummy piece', 'unakku oNNumE theriyAdhu', 'nee karuppA irukka' etc. And, the parents attending the show
clap their hands in merriment and the anchor person has to grin and bear it! At times, I feel like slapping the parents
who enjoy their arrogance.
Is it not the duty of the parents to rear their children as well mannered citizens?
