Words of Wisdom―Parents, Children, Brand, and Nepotism in India




“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.” —Billy Graham


The children of the present generation leverage the brands of their parents but most of them fail to carry forward the legacy of their parents. They take their parents for granted when they were alive but exploit the brands built by their parents. In fact, their parents struggled, suffered, and worked hard to build their brands from scratch but children rarely understand and empathize with their parents.

It the children are competent, they will earn themselves and build their brands. If the children are incompetent, they will ruin the wealth created and shared by their parents. Hence, the present generation of parents must provide good education, character to their children. Additionally, they must teach their children to face challenges in life. It helps their children understand the peaks and valleys in life, become empathetic, and successful in the long run.

I am against nepotism and favoritism. I personally don’t encourage parents to share their brands and wealth with their children. Parents must give freedom to their children to choose their careers and lead their lives independently. It is the need of the hour in the rapidly changing world.


“Your story is the greatest legacy that you will leave to your friends. It’s the longest-lasting legacy you will leave to your heirs.” —Steve Saint

Words of Wisdom―Challenges for Aged Parents in India




“Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such a comfortable front stall as spectator.” —Confucius


When children undermine the father in front of their mother constantly, there will be a rift between mother and father. When children undermine the mother in front of their father, there will be a rift between mother and father. Such constant acts create a gap between parents in the long run. In some cases, they pave the way for parents to go for divorce. Therefore, it is the responsibility of children not to create any rift between parents. They must empathize with their parents and underscore the sacrifices made by the father in front mother and that of the mother in front of the father. In Indian society, parents expect their children to take care of them in their old age since there are no social security measures for parents in old age. In the current scenario, there is no such scope for children to take care of old parents as they migrate to other places for their survival and success. It is a great challenge in the present society, especially in Indian society. It needs to be addressed earnestly to ensure the safety, security, and dignity of aged parents.

Children realize the challenges of parents when they reach their old age. By the time it is too late as parents are no more in this world.


“I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.” —Maya Angelou

Words of Wisdom―Reinvent Yourself if You were Born in a Toxic Family




“The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.” —Jim Morrison


Being born in a good family or a bad family is not in your hands. It is your karma. If you were born in a toxic family, you don’t have to regret it because you have an option to evolve as a healthy individual. Instead of blaming your toxic family, develop a positive attitude to lead a healthy life, and set an example for others to follow. Similarly, being born in a rich or a poor family is not in your hands. It is your karma. What is in your hands is to work smart to become rich. If you end up poor in life, that is your mistake, not your parents’ mistake. The conclusion is that your life is in your hands. You can become the way you want to become. You have a choice. Remember that the lotus comes from the mud. Similarly, some of the great people came out from the mud of toxic families. They showed the light to the world, guided the world, and left this world as legends. Life is great.


"Man has three friends on whose company he relies. First, wealth which goes with him only while good fortune lasts. Second, his relatives; they go only as far as the grave, leave him there. The third friend, his good deeds, go with him beyond the grave." —The Talmud

“Some people prefer to going outside to eat although they can enjoy the food at home. Some people prefer to going to theaters to view movies on big screens although they can see them on streaming platforms. So, it is too early to conclude that streaming platforms will end theatrical experience forever.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
