What do Indian parents want?

They crave for that sense of security.

They want minimal struggle for their children.

They want to save us, shield us, cover us.

They want zero fingers pointing at us.

They want to take pride in us, they want to raise their suppressed voice, look at the world right in the eye and claim 'Ye mera beta hai'

Good grades, government jobs are just destructive demands to ensure something priceless.

Their love is of the best breed there exists, but things like love and parenting are not supposed to be practiced like that.

And this can't be bought , with any form of diamond. This is made by swallowing words , restraining steps and prioritizing some people above than our stubborn selves. A house can be bought and it's just a geometrical piece of land with tints varying from bumblebee yellow to emerald green that continues beaming no matter the crumbled state of happiness inside it. Whereas a home shatters as the contentment and serenity starts retracing their footsteps from that building. Your intellect and brainpower lays the foundation for an astounding house and your empathy , benevolence , agreeableness and compassion lays the foundation of a happy home. The former is tough , to master skills is tough ; to earn is tough but the latter is tougher , it's harder to retain love and shield warmth.
