Parents can stop children from using gadgets. But it is hard to stop young. I saw most of young have smart phones in their hand and they are using to much. Using smart phones to much is not a healthy habits.

It is bitter truth that it is not possible for government to construct and maintain road with own sources. Toll roads is only solution of it. It happen some time that toll charging agencies is charging toll after competing their period. Approaching to consumer court is easy but getting claim is not easy.

We (my family) need to travel so often out of state by road. The toll booths on these out of state roads take a toll on us and our finances.
After having paid road tax for our vehicles, paying tax on infrastructure we end up paying tax all the way around.
What irks me is that some of the roads are so bad that the government need to pay us for the damages it causes our vehicles and our backs.
Do you think it is justified to tax us so much.. especially the middle class ?

It is not fair to blame only to parents, teachers and students. All are responsible for this situation. For parents a school is good one who have maximum facilities for their kids. A.C class rooms, water coolers and so on. They are not any problem with quality of faculty. Teachers are also responsible. We read in newspapers that teacher abuse girls students and some time they came to school after drinking alocohal. New genration of student is less displined. Before some days in Jodhpur at Delhi Public school, student of 9th standard brings wine with him serve to all students. Who is responsible for it?

I work with underprivileged teens have been doing so for years. I have never felt the lack of respect with the way I handle them. But this may not be the universal truth.
Would you be happy honestly if your children took to drinking in front of you.. I mean on a regular basis. Or engaged in antisocial activities?
Yes change is the only permanent thing in life. But change for the good, parents need to be involved in the change of their children, we cannot absolve ourselves saying changes happen.
Instill in them the values for life so that even in a changing world they adapt with their values intact.
I agree that giving and receiving respect may not happen with all teachers and all youngsters , it depends on individuals . As far as consuming liquor is concerned, here in Mangalore we make wine at home and toddy tapping is done at my ancestral home so it is always there, the children dont get enamored by it. We all do have a glass or two of wine on occasions but none of us ,including my children drink on a regular basis and don't smoke at all. I feel being anti social is far worse and I could never tolerate that in my children or others .In fact, my children are very conscious about their civic duties and responsibilities and would never take a short cut . Having said that none of us is perfect and we can only learn from our past mistakes .
I cannot but appreciate your parenting and maintaining the way you are dealing with your children. Without defining the limits, you made children know their relations.

Exactly now that we see the point.. we can move on further Like i said earlier the politicians eat up all the taxpayers money on their foreign trips and treatments. Where is the revenue going on road maintenance.
The pot holes show up because the right material don't go in.
Diversions come up due to the lack of proper planning.
We have to stop every 50-75 km because we have no system in place.
The revenue is very much there on paper ..Honestly, I don't blame the many road blocks and protests by the bus owners and citizens against this because they have to use these roads every day and know the inconvenience and loss. We have one coming up at Udipi and Manipal which is a educational town and the main road leading to it from Udipi is so bad that everybody has been put to inconvenience since more than 6 months. Now they want to make it a ' sophisticated ' (their words) highway and charge toll keeping the old road as well,,

@Kalyani Nandurkar
Your explanation is truly meaningful. The teachers should satiate the quest of knowledge or else students will loose their interest which is never a positive sign. Well, it is not always that reservation is the criterion, sometimes it's the attitude of the teacher which comes in between the students and the teacher. Some teachers are very arrogant and proud which never allow them to understand their student deeply.

True. Children do not know what's good and bad. They rush towards a candle without knowing that it it burns. In this condition parents should guide them.

Instill in them the values for life so that even in a changing world they adapt with their values intact.
Occasionally on special occasions all our family members enjoy a drink. My children and my wife know the significance of such celebrations. They are very limited. My children never indulged in anti social activities nor going to indulge in future.
I or my wife never lectured before them about DOs and DONTs of discipline They learned right from their formative years from me.
I never mentioned anything about lecturing.. Instill means teach them values from their young age.
I was asking Usha a question if she would be happy to see her children drinking on a regular basis ( because she used the example) or get into antisocial activities .. because they are value based too.
I was talking about the needs to change and adapt with our values intact.
Either we don't understand each other or don't want to. I am not getting this at all.
All you asked Usha are answered in a vivid way. When I said about drinking together occasionally is not about values in a tradition bound country ;like India ?
When I said my children do not indulge in anti social activities, What are they, if not Values ?
