===========================================
"WEIGH BOTH YOUR PARENTS IN THE SAME SCALE!"
Until the mid of the last century, a male occupied the center stage in a
family; he was one in all a father; head and bread winner of the family; a
guide and an inspiration to the whole family. Women, especially wives,
adored him next to God. They respected him so much that they dared to look
into his eyes when they talked to him, or call him by his name they
lowered their head and looked down when they talked to him, and they
addressed him as amcho (my/our [husband/head of the family]). It was as
if they were following Gods Commandment: Thou shall not take my name in
vain!
But those days are long gone. Todays woman enjoys equal status at home as
well as in the society. Present generation boys and girls prefer to tie the
knot to a working partner so the burden can be shared equally by both. As
we know there are always exceptions to the rule and in this case the
exception is that most men from Goa are employed abroad, especially in the
Gulf, in single capacity - they dont have their families with them. Thus,
the burden is placed almost equally on each side but from a distance because
of which it is difficult to draw a comparison between the two sides.
While a father slogs abroad and sends money for home expenses, schooling,
etc., a mother plays a vital role in looking after the children and bringing
them up by giving them the necessary education, etc. As a result, the
bondage between mother and children becomes solid like a rock. On the other
side, a father who is away from home also loves and cares for his children
as much as their mother but because he is out of sight, children are unable
to comprehend him and give him the same love and respect as they do for
their mother. This behavior is experienced by the home-away-father every
time he goes home on vacation and it obviously hurts him. Every time he is
home, he tries to get closer to his children and patch up the difference but
it does not work. It becomes almost impossible for him to convince the
depth of his love for his children because they have already become a
one-sided affair. In the process, the father working abroad becomes nothing
but a golden goose which everyone expects to keep on laying golden eggs!!!
It is for this reason that many of our Goan brothers continue to work
abroad until they breathe their last!
A mother is great, and for a child she really is a well filled with milk.
While we are indebted to our mother because we drank her milk, we somehow
tend to forget our father who humbled himself to look after our mother for
nine months while she carried us in her womb. A fathers blood turns into
water when his children refuse to respect him. Were you born to your mother
without father? Please do not be ungrateful to your father just because you
drank mothers milk.
In the olden days, a mother would place a pot on a chul, sit on a sopo
and wait for her husband to show up with rice; she was able to cook and feed
the family only if father brought in the grains. In those days a mother did
not have to worry about anything because everything depended on the bread
winner. Everyone visits a family if a father is present in the house
otherwise nobody even stops to greet. It took months for a mother to get a
job done but father would use his influence and get that very job done
within no time.
Today, a father slogs in the Gulf/foreign countries in order to feed his
family back home. Why do you think he spends 24-36 months abroad and barely
spends two months on vacation at home with his family? It is surely to
provide good education to his children and give them a good future. How
unfortunate must be those mothers and children who do not have a
husband/father!
Today, so many families are unhappy despite fathers presence in a home. I
am not saying that a father is greater than a mother but all I am asking is
to weigh both your parents in the same scale. All those fragrance-filled
flowers that you decorate your mother with, please also share them with your
father. My dear reader, I urge you to think over my simple words in this
article. Remember, no matter what, the pillar of a house is a FATHER!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
