I have two sons – elder one 21
years old and the younger one 16 years old. The elder fellow Santhosh is a
mature and balance guy and the second one Anand also quite mature in thoughts
but however indulges often in kidding and taking his brother for a ride.
Whenever things go out of hand – in spite of Santos’s
immense patient attitude, I intervene and soften things out. Today I happened to
lose my temper unnecessarily. Santhosh and Anand went for the Kamal Hassan’s
Movie Dasavatharam and after the movie is over they and their friends were
having snacks in a restaurant. I was trying to talking to him over cell phone
but he kept on avoiding insisting that he would talk to me later and I just
exploded castigating him with harsh words – with a total loss of any sense.
Feller really got hurt and after a while he talked to my wife and said that he
was among my elderly relatives and speaking in front of them too much over phone
would have been of showing disrespect. Looks like he asked my mother to tell me
not mistake him. My God how could I ever mistake you? It is I who should have understood
your predicament by your soft tone at the first place and kept my phone down. My
sincere apologies to you my good son.
