Indians are not cultural fools, their kids are :P

Have you ever realized you do criticize your indian parents a bit too much? I mean seriously we all do and we are not completely wrong. They were not the most sensitive generation with kids. With a lot of struggle and running around, they did get lost losing the concept of paying attention where it was needed.

If you look at it now, every other working couple is doing the same. Time is not enough so we are all on our cellphones all the freaking time. To be fair, we gave kids mobiles too. Everyone if awfully tired at the end of the day and we barely make it.

The point is that is what indian parents did, they made money. In this ridiculous documentary on problems faced by first generation indians, they complained how they couldn't date, the association with any culture was difficult because of parents and indian people are so pushy. I am pretty sure there are awesome first generation indians who never had to use these terms and lived loved like all the other people around. Stop making excuses for your lame inclinations, less self esteem. Yes, your parents can damage you but not after you move out.

You don't know what culture to follow. Hmm are any of us traditional in the truest sense. Only those who actually want to do a full ritual diwali pooja do it. Rest of us even though raised in smallest of towns don't bother. Besides there were a lot of reasons a lot of things were said and done in india, the flaw is our parents didn't explain enough. When you tell someone why you should not eat pickle or be secluded when you are down or not go to temple, the reason shouldn't be because you are down. There is a whole mythrispeaks blog dedicated to this. Its all about energy flow and pickles not good for your body at that time. What we are trying to forget is what others are researching and retaining.

Indians are not cultural fools, when your grandparents fuss about eating at same time everyday, that again is good for health advised by all the nutritionist documentaries on netflix.  Do you have a relative that eats pastry without eggs and doesn't allow you to enter home with meat? Everyone has, now why or whats are never discussed. Now we are all aspiring to be vegans learning how beef pork milk egg has something our bodies can't even digest. The plant food is all we need. Were they wrong? No its just that the reasoning logics are never there. So we tell them you are old you don't know I have to eat eggs to get protein to bulk up.

So kids land in a circle where there are lot of teachings but nothing to back it up. Then there is this different lifestyle that looks amazing and full of research so why not just go for it. Indian kids end up being the most confused grown ups. Parents lack communication skills, they are more scared at the thought of their daughter having sex being drunk so instead of asking they try to command which by the way doesn't even work on newborns.

Did you know kamasutra was not written as pornography? It was actually studied and researched like you study yoga. Sex was never a taboo. When we were attacked by outsiders, in an attempt to guard women's honor, all the parda kind of traditions came. We should have ended when the time was right.
Even early marriage had reasons as it gave enough time for husband wife to have fun before kids. Yeah so indians knew what they were doing. We are old eggs, we have nailed billions of vegetarian recipes not just tofu or salad with dressings.

What can help us right now is to not abolish every tradition because its old. Understand the significance, find the roots of it then if it is not for you, you are free to move on. Don't be a cultural fool. Also, parents out there you did a bad job bringing up kids who feel so out of place. You did nothing for their self esteem. You failed in passing a beautiful sexy culture.
