We hear about lot of young people not getting jobs for long.
This leads to certain situations at home and outside.
People at home do not tolerate unemployed youngsters.
To avoid taunts, they go out which also attracts unpleasant comments about how irresponsibly they are roaming around wasting their time.
Most would like to stay at home to avoid comments from outsiders but cannot bear to put up with comments from within the family.
Either way its a dilemma for them not knowing which way to turn, which way to go, how best to respond to embarrassing queries from all and sundry.
Dilemma until they find a job. The spirit is to keep trying until one succeeds. There is always light at the end of the tunnel or should we say there is always light after dark!
That reminds me of the father-son-donkey story.
Father and son once set to the market towing their donkey along.
People walking by comment that the boy could ride the donkey instead of walking.
Down the lane some comment about the donkey's load.
Some time later, another passerby comments why both father and son should not ride the donkey.
Others laugh and pity the donkey and suggest that the poor donkey should be carried by the father and son instead of carrying them!
Until they reach the market they go through all this.
Who's right we will never know. But we know one thing for sure.
People will comment any which way. Do your thing as best as you feel is right for you.
Do not take comments to heart but do learn from them as there may be something to learn out of it.

TV Remote and Control
How does a TV remote connect with control?
From very long time I have been observing families watching TV together.
There are many channels on offer and each one loves to watch his choice of channel. But they all get to watch only a certain channel at certain times of the day or night.
You can easily guess who's in control if you see who holds the remote in hand. He gets to control what others will see!
That was in the past. Now are days when all houses have 2 TV sets and our house is no exception to this phenomenon.
We both (husband and I)enjoy music competitions like Super Singer 3 on Vijay TV, the Japanese channel NHK is beyond compare in program quality and topics covered like nature, food, Japanese architecture, travel, inventions, business ideas, etc. The KBC, a Korean channel which used to air serials like 'Emperor of the Sea' and a very popular serial 'Flowers Over Boys' which kept us spell bound for story content and visuals and then there were true stories about life of immigrants, food, travel, etc. both these were hanked out unceremoniously not so long time back by Sun Direct. It was not so easy not to watch these two channels for sheer content alone and so full of knowledge about so many things of interest. These two channels never aired advertisements in between.
But my aged mother loves to watch her favorite serials on Sun TV at the same time. So we had to buy another set with a dedicated set top box so that she can watch what she likes.
There will come a time when there will be as many TV sets in a house as there are members just so that all of them can have total control over their TV remote!
