For the eyes of adolescents in career dilemma, confused decision-makers and Indian parents!
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It’s driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I’m beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found.
From ‘Drive’ by Incubus.

To enlist, there are only 2 kinds of Indian parents. One, who queue their offspring into the most cliched, most money-making ventures. (number of non employable Indian engineers from engineering-college-turned-apartments alone is comparable to the population of Australia)Two, more annoying, is the kind which wants to live their lives through the eyes of their children. All the failed doctors and engineers and architects want to see their kids become a successful one. In either case, individual passions, individual interests are stifled dead and all one can do is to bee
one of the hive. And guess who is the cause?

Oh there is a third kind – the kind that know when to let go of their kids and place a little too much faith that the kid, left to his own, will find his own good. Small in numbers, unfortunately. The rest… they think the way the herd thinks, the herd we call ‘society’. We ain’t the only ones with peer pressure

PS. Loved, and loving the pun with bees and hives. More more.
