It is of course, the duty of children to make their parents proud. Proud how? By scoring 100%? Maybe, but a perfect score is hardly the hallmark of a perfect individual. It seldom means flawless intelligence. And intelligence is not all; sometimes its hardly anything at all. What matters in life is values, such as sensitivity, which is pathetically lacking in today’s individuals. More than what a child ‘studies’(read ‘mugs’ or ‘crams’) what plays a significant role is the deeper morals. If the parents bring up a well-mannered, polite, punctual and caring child, even if he doesn’t excel academically, he will stand out. And then the parent will be genuinely proud. Then the world will be a much better place to live in. Then old age homes might just be extinct. Then life would be meaningful. Its not so easy, but we can do it. Are parents and parents-to-be listening???

care is a relative term. It may vary, as long as there is no lack of it. no issues.
