Amongst my colleagues, friends, neighbors; every third parent is complaining about his or her teen aged child going delinquent. What I gather from them find some things common. Either their kids are born quite late after their marriage; both the parents are working or very indulgent. The effects of delinquent children may be varied in nature; some may be addicts, some just wayward or others just not serious about anything in life. They think as they have got everything they wanted from their parents; so life would offer them what they want! Now, they parents find it difficult to convince their ward that the rule of the world is different; it is something like “first deserve and then desire” as because they have never bothered to educate their kids that way for their own comforts.

Indian economy appears to be elusive; the stock market is bullish so the consumer market and all other. It is incomprehensible how the poorest of the poor Indians manage to survive with the skyrocketed prices of all most everything; from potato to pea-nuts, salt to sugar and egg to meat! The prices of many vegetables, edible oils, cereals, grams have broken all time records. But surprisingly there is no much furor over this. Is it only the middle class who are affected by this price rise? Are the people living below poverty line (they may constitute more than 60% actually despite of any official figures) being adequately supplied with subsidized food stuffs? Keeping Indian standard of distribution system through the mechanism available with various states in mind, you can be rest assured that it has never happened. What might have happened; the plight of the poor is not highlighted either by media or any political party for the reason best known to them. Their voices are maimed in mos...
