Three Generations: Father and Son
Three Generations: Father and Son
FATHER-SON – THE BEST RELATION:
One of the most beautiful quotes penned down on the FATHER-SON relationship was, “Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice”. Even I mentioned in one of my blogs that, my father is the magical man in the house
who can create magic and it happens…
A Father is – the first hero to his daughter but for his son- he is the role model, and inspiration. A FATHER-SON relationship is one of the most beautiful and blessed relationships. From the birth of a baby boy, a father plays the most essential role in molding his son.
As a father is the role model, his son wants to know how he is living, his hobbies, and his works are actually pleasing to his dad. This situation becomes a little more crucial for a dad also, as he also wants his son to be a perfect one. So, he guides him in taking the right actions gives instructions as and when needed, and helps him in living a happy life.
KEYNOTE IN A FATHER: The first thought which comes to a father’s mind when he is raising his son is, “As a father I expect my son to be as good as a man has to be”. I believe and I hope that I can be a good father to my son as to how my father was to be with me. A son
too, starts the journey of life only by following his father as his reflection and wants to be like him.
AFFECTION OF KIDS FOR HIS FATHER:
Kids whether boys or a girl needs security and sometimes even the priority from their parents, as they are a part of their small world and this happens by showering love, care, and affection on the kids. Showing affection through love, care, and hugs to your kids every day is the best way to show them how much you love them. As per studies shown, when fathers are supportive and affectionate to their kids, it brings cognitive and social development to the children. The support from a Father brings confidence and proper well-being to a child. B, too, want to make their father feel proud of them and if the father is supportive, then it brings growth and improves the child’s inner
strength. When a father gives anything to his son, they both laugh…!!
But, When a Son gives anything to his father, they both cry..!!!
NOW… THIS IS AFFECTION…..!!!
HOW TO SOLIDIFY FATHER-SON RELATIONSHIP: The following are the various ways
through which the father-son relationship can be strengthened:
1. every day, both spend time together.
2. Don’t only talk or argue, but also have the quality of listening to each other.
3. Share your different thoughts and interests too by having conversations on various
topics.
4. Don’t dominate each other, instead work together on any project or assignment.
5. Always set a good example by strengthening your relationship.
BATTLE OF EGO: What is this battle of ego..??? A battle of ego is fought between father and son, not only in the present scenario but from generations. But in the current period, the egoistic problem has been raised in many families, and the beautiful relationship of a father-son has now turned into a problematic and egoistic relationship.
There can be various reasons behind this problem, but the most important reason is- When the son is young, he used to follow his father as his inspiration. But when he grows up and understands that his father is also like a normal human and not a magician, he starts
to assert his own identity and challenge his father’s authority and knowledge on every point.
FATHER-SON RELATIONSHIP IN the 1980s:
It was the time when many fathers shifted to urban areas from rural places. It doesn’t matter to him, whether he is doing a small or big job or business. Their priority was to get settled in a big city. Few fathers would have even done the minority work because they knew
if they worked hard their families and children will be benefited.
At that time, when a son used to see his father’s hard work, he used to respect him because struggle starts from changing a place, house, and trying hard in settling down in every aspect. When a son used to see his father’s struggle, sometimes he used to raise his
eyebrows and think.. how can he work so hard…??? and he thinks that even he has to put the same efforts when he grows up.
FATHER-SON RELATIONSHIP IN the 2000s:
It was the time when many fathers underlined a proper foundation and the struggle for their sons was reduced. It was the time when many parents wanted their sons to be educated properly and either get settled in foreign countries by having a perfect job or join
the family business. So in both cases, the efforts, stress, and load of the son were reduced. When everything is ready to serve his son, without much effort, then a small battle of ego starts between them, and burgeoning manhood collides between them. But still, the son is happy with his father because he understands the efforts which his father has put into upbringing him.
FATHER-SON RELATIONSHIP IN the 2020s:
Now, this is a total technological world. A middle-class family also will be having maximum technology at their home and they will provide the best education to their son, forgetting their own personal expenses. One more important reason in today’s time for the battle of ego is that a parent is having only one child or two, so now, the wishes of their kids are like a demand to be fulfilled
by the parents and they give everything that they want without making them understand the struggle and excluding their personal requirements. So if everything is served on a plate without knowing the cost of the plate to a son, then how he will understand what struggle his father has done to earn that plate. This will definitely lead to a battle of the ego because when the son will grow up his Father will stop fulfilling his demands. Surely, this results in burgeoning which collides with wisdom and command.

Sometimes, we feel like we experience Deja Vu. But what is Deja vu ?
Why do we feel like that ?
What is the science behind this experience ?
DEJA VU
Deja Vu derives from a French word which means “already seen”. It is a feeling that one has experienced the present situation before. Scientific researches say that it is a strong memory recollection, the time, the place and the context of that previous situation. People who travel frequently or watch films are more likely to experience deja vu when compared to others. Others experience deja vu in fragile conditions and high pressure. Meanwhile, deja vu decreases with age.
TYPES AND SCIENTIFIC REASONS
Two types of Deja Vu are considered
1) Pathological Deja Vu
Pathological Deja Vu occurs frequently and also has symptoms like hallucinations which may be an indicator of psychological or neurological stress.
2) Non-Pathological Deja Vu
Normal people who do not have any mental health issues experience this type of Deja Vu. This is so common and it is not due to stress. This occurs because of recollecting old memories.
MEDICAL DISORDERS
Deja Vu is simply an electric discharge in brain , creating a strong sensation of an event that has happened before. Deja Vu is associated with Migraines and as well as temporal lobe epilepsy. Researchers also found link between deja vu and certain mental health issues like anxiety, dissociative identity disorder and schizophrenia. But scientists failed to find the correlations between deja vu and schizophrenia.
Researchers also experimented genetics while considering deja vu. But there is not even a single gene connected to deja vu.

TITLE – HAITI AND MUD COOKIES
TODAY’S REALITY :
If I ask, what are the basic resources which we need to survive in today’s world..?? The reply will be MONEY and FOOD. That’s true… When we are hungry and if we have money in our hand, we go out to buy our favourite food stuff like pizza, burger, french fries, noodles, pastries, cookies etc… to feed our tummy.
PARALLEL LIVING – WITHOUT RESOURCES :
But do you know, there are many people who don’t have these basic resources too for living, then, how will they feed their tummy..??? There are few countries, where people don’t have even the basic resources like food and money. Then how will they be feeding their tummy…???
LIFE OF HAITIANS :
HAITI, one of the poorest countries in the Western hemisphere, don’t even have the basic resources for their everyday life and due to the scarcity of food and money, in the country, people started feeding their tummy with the DIRT.
MUD COOKIES IN HAITI :
People in HAITI are eating dirt in the form of cookies, which are also called “MUD COOKIES ”, Galette or bonbon tè.. The scarcity of food has turned mud into cookies, for the Haitians.
MUD AS A SUPPLEMENT :
It is believed that, due to the mineral content in the mud, the cookies were given as a dietary supplement to pregnant women and children. The Haitian’s believed that the mud has calcium in it which can be used as antacid and also for nutrition too.
MUD COOKIES AND HAITI :
In Haiti, almost 80% of the population is below the poverty line. This made the starving locals desperate for food and created cookies from mud for their survival. Sadly speaking, the people of Haiti are regularly eating these cookies and they are now so used to these cookies that it has become a normal practice for them.
HOW THIS MUD COOKIES ARE MADE..??
The main ingredients in making these cookies are edible clay, salt and vegetable shortening. Edible clay is collected from the nation’s central plateau and is moved to the market in trucks. The women who prepare the cookies, purchase the mud from the market and take it to the towns to make it.
Firstly, the dirt is strained to remove the clumps and rocks. Then, the strained edible clay or dirt is mixed up with salt and vegetable shortening or fat to form flat discs. These discs are left out in the sun to bake. Then, finally the discs, which turn into cookies, are then sold in the market.
These cookies are made in different quantities, as per the affordability of the people. The taste of these cookies are described as a smooth consistency that immediately dries the mouth with a pungent aftertaste of dirt having lingered for hours.
IS EATING EDIBLE CLAY OR SOIL, HEALTHY..??
Truly speaking, mud has no nutritional value. But the people of Haiti have no alternative to overcome the food scarcity and high prices. They are forced to create these cookies and eat them.
Haitians believe that the mud contains calcium but it is strongly disputed by the doctors who warn of tooth decay, constipation and even more worse issues or problems in health. Dirt also contains a lot of potassium which leads to high blood potassium, which increases the risk of cardiac arrest.
Eating dirt can also expose you to bacteria, toxic heavy metals and parasites. Haiti is also facing some mortality issues like respiratory infections, tuberculosis, diarrhoea and eating dirt will worsen the situation.
Even the immune system is getting weak from people eating mud. The water supply in Haiti is often contaminated. Sadly, this contaminated water is making its way in the soil and as well as for the people who are drinking it, which makes the people much more sicker than they already are.
On a serious note, the people of the country need to do all they can to help themselves
