[QUOTE="Taranjeet singh, post: 166416, member: 10049"] Harry ji,-Manmeet ji I like your post for the sheer presentation and sequencing of ideas and lucidity with which these are authored. It is irrelevant if I am in disagreement with some parts of the post.I hate to differ with you but we are human beings with different backgrounds and different level of parental guidance and all those factors that go into making of our minds and ,may be, hence this innocent post Parents have their own home work to be attended to.
