mobile rant 5

This note should be thought of more than a mere note, its my pouring
ne thoughts into a form that's expressible, readable, and probably
publishable to an audience. I have noticed more and more that i'm
becoming more of a person that expresses thoughts in long sentences.
Short is effective, or so i've heard.

Recently i acquired possession of my e50 again, thanks to a dear
accomplice. Now i'm able to marvel yet again the proficiency and the
level of excellence that man tends to achieve ho pursuing the goal of
combining so many little and useful gadgets and work-arounds and nifty
little softwares in so small a device.

How long has it been that the corporate giants have made it there
vision to enslave the world in its digital gadgeteries and electronic
franchising? Do we realize how difficult it is to survive a day,
rather an hour, without our mobile phones and pagers? Its the
multi-billion dollar conglomerates that have made us forgotten what a
simple letter would do for a long distance call won't. Or what small
children would do to get their parent's attention when they are busy
setting up nannies and contacting baby sitters for their kids, all the
while shunting their kids from the cruel yet busy schedules they've so
often got. Do the parents today realize how much time they're giving
to their growing ones between the day jobs and the
homework-thats-actually-the-office-work-brought-home?!

The answer to all the above controvartial questions is a deafening and
booming NO! We need to give time to our kids. We need to get in touch
with our lives, literally. Rather than texting a relative on season's
greetings, why not give one a call this time?! Instead of making your
kids watch Baby t.v this evening, why not spare an hour for fun and
parenting! Surely it would be relaxing and one may even be more
productive with an enjoyable life than one without one! Getting the
point? And never should anyone say no to an episode of Boston Legal
once every two three days... Its fun, its quirky, its witty, its aaall
... Denny Craine!

On a finer note, i'd like to comment on what happens when fathers take
the important and heavily influential, in terms of consequences on the
life of their children yet have little thought of, decisions of
spending their lives away from their home and kids and spouse in order
to, wait for this part - here comes the irony, earn a living for them
and their future. Ironic! Isn't it!?

I mean, let's look at it and try to analyze a stereotypical case of
such relevance and see where we go from there. On one hand, we have a
man who has, or atleast tried to, worked hard all his life to get a
job to get married and have kids, because frankly that's what life's
all about in our culture, get a job to get a family. Now when a man
tries and achieves this target, he gets married or gets ready to be
and do so. When he does eventually get married, he enjoys it for a
while and then gets on with life again, which has changed a bit for
him, (We'll come to the spouse and children part later!.) this new
life has as his duty the providence of livelyhood to his family, and
keeping alive in the tough world of competitiveness and hard work. So,
he does so happily. He brings home money to be enjoyed by his family
to live their livelyhood to the fullest, if not barely live their
lives in case of barely-meeting-the-ends kinda examples. So this bloke
enjoys a bit of comfort in providing shelter, home and safety to his
family he so pleasingly feeds and maybe even loves.

What's wrong with this picture? Why isn't anything wrong yet? Well the
thing is that everything goes smooth and fine, supposedly, till we
reach a point where the kids, in this case we'll suppose there are...
I'm inclined to say four but... Two, tend to gain height and start
asking questions and behaving in such a way that every parent ip made
to think whether the kids of any other family do that? Or do any other
parents have to face such dilemmas? But this is just the fun part.
Problems start to come when a child does something so outrageous or
disbelieving that one parent asks another who's fault is it!? Mothers
defend themselves and the kid first most of the times, and blame the
husband in the end. Fathers think mothers tend to spoil the kids. So
many rights and wrongs, who's right and who's left! Wrong i mean?!
Well then a bit time later arguments arise in the perfect little
family as to whose fault is it that their son comes home too late and
doesn't talk or share much with them. They keep blaming each other,
shouting sometimes lovingly sometimes angrily sometimes, and in the
meanwhile the child however old he or she is, affected. So much so
that he or she might have thoughts of committing suicide. If only had
the father spent a little more time with his son...!

How many times has it been that i have made my mind to blog about
something and it either escaped my mind or else i was too lazy to do
it? Its usually the latter one, but anyhow, there isn't a count.
Writing from the mobile, there are times when publishing what i want
to is easier and quick through the gprs, but mostly its just the same
old, same old. Eye ee, the usual lack of resources. Economics tells us
they are always scarce...
