Parvarish- A Salute to Parents!

Parvarish (HINDI) – Ward (ENGLISH); used as a verb to guard or protect. When this verb is used in context of Parents being a ward to their children, they in all sense define it.
The Promos of a New programme, “Parvarish Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi”, soon to be aired on a Hindi Television Channel actually made me thinking “What a difficult task it is to be a Parent?”. The promos show the different roles that parents play at different times while bringing up their kids- be it a detective, bodyguard, nurse, etc. Just take a moment and think, our parents have played the same roles- Varied universal roles that Parents are required to play till the end.
As individuals, it is easy to learn and do things. But, when as an individual they are suppose to make someone else learn(who doesn’t know anything), imbibe morals, values, protect them from the wrong ,provide the emotional and mental stability, strength, courage etc and while doing all this fighting their own fears like; what if I lose my child? What if he/she doesn’t turn out to be good? What if I don’t succeed as a parent? And many more such What ifs? – What role could be more challenging and at the end satisfying than that of Being a Parent.

We as kids play our roles of questioning their acts, fighting, rebelling and over all giving them a tough time. I think it’s normal, normal until we haven’t matured as individuals but after that stage, it is the stubbornness that “My parents don’t understand!” and our human ego “‘I’ want to do this” . Thinking of which, tomorrow even I am going to be a parent and one day my kid(s) are going to tell me the same. As they say, it’s Karma! It is true sometimes one doesn’t realize the other persons role unless they come (or about to) in a situation when they have to play the same role.

The point of writing this is Realization. Now that little bit that I feel I have realized what my parents have gone through to bring us (me and brother) up, I want to thank them for their Parvarish- for turning us out to individuals that are doing well in life, are happy and somewhere down just praying that they could turn out to be parents, if not equally wonderful but just close.

Sony Entertainment Television will be soon airing a new programme “Parvarish Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi” from 21th November, 2011 Mon-Fri at 9.30pm.
Enjoy the show and Be grateful to your Parents- because they deserve it!
