Empty Nest series — 13 — Maa se baat kar
One more SRK tribute in this series. I am hugely impressed by his personality and how he is raising his kids, my only evidence being how they conduct themselves in public what they put out in Social media as individuals, and how SRK portrays his relationship with them on the same medium. It may be skewed, but enough data points to believe that he and his wife are doing a great job.
Now coming to his newest addition to famous dialogues of this
which pertains to parents largely
Bete ko haath lagane se pehle Baap se baath Kar
Others that need mention and are very much inspiring in other contexts
- Haar ke jeetne waale ko… …
- Bade Bade deshon mein… …
- Pyaar dosti hai… …
- Sattar minute… …
- Puri kayanat usey tume milane ki…
He conveys them in his husky voice with all emotions intact, which makes me go gooey mostly and sometimes inspired.
Most of the above are mushy romantic and the recent one and Sattar minute does inspire you to work harder.
So coming to Baap se bath kar one!
I suddenly heard this all over the internet after the movie release — Jawan. It's hugely popular because of the audacity with which he conveys it every time, I am sure he would have done it well on screen, waiting to screen it on screen and subtext of it referring to the mishaps that happened with him and his eldest son does make it dear. Every parent would feel it.
I am referring here to my phase of life when I was the guardian with a shining armor to you when you behaved as though you were a helpless fledgling. It was my “ Maa se baath kar phase”. But gladly you developed a voice and standing when it was the right time for you and moved on.
Now I can't claim to do that, it would stifling to consider doing it now as well. Do I really miss it? yes maybe, because there was a feeling of you being the ultimate caregiver to a person, who solely depended on you for everything. It did come with a lot of turmoil to make everything possible to be that protector, but it was really enjoyable. I wouldn't want we go back to that phase, and neither would I be happy doing that for anyone. But just plain missing certain phases and moments we had!
