00:00Parents want their kids to do great things, all the great things that the parents themselves

00:06have never done.

00:07And they want that when and after the kids have done all the great things, they should

00:11finally do the one thing that the parents themselves have done.

00:15How logical is that?

00:16The parents are saying, we never went to an engineering college, you should go to an engineering

00:19college.

00:20We never got that great a salary, you should get that kind of salary.

00:24We never visited the US, but you should have a job in the US.

00:28There is no MBA in the entire extended family, but you should do your MBA, right?

00:33The father will say, I'm a clerk, but you should be an IAS.

00:35So you should do all the things that we never did.

00:38And that's wonderful.

00:39The parents, if they actually love the kids, should want the kids to do things that the

00:43parents never could achieve.

00:45That's all right.

00:46But once the kids have done all that, why do the parents want to drag them down to the

00:51one thing that they did?

00:52If the kid is doing everything that the parents never did, then why should the kid follow

00:57the parents' life and settle down the way the parents did?
