Dear Parents,
We are trying hard everyday to make you proud. We understand your struggles, we understand that you fill our stomachs first. We know that you work hard everyday to give us a better life and trust us we see that all and acknowledge it. But we are working hard every second to just see you smile. We look for jobs every second, apply for them and at times we even succeed, but the fear of going away from you makes us sad. But yes the proud that you feel on us keeps us going. We don't tell you but no matter how well we cook we still prefer maa k haath ka khana. There are nights where we cry to ourselves because this wasn't the life that we wanted but just to give you a better life we at times sacrifice our dreams too. You know at times we are scared of the world, but the faces of you keeps us going. Just because I am a boy doesn't mean that every time I have to go out for every chore, but then you say that I have to bear all the responsibilities for ever. I accept those responsibilities but that doesn't mean I don't want to fly.
And just because I am a girl doesn't mean every penny has to be accumulated for my marriage. At times I get married for you. I agree to spend my life with a stranger and his family just for you. Because we also love you. And we are ready to make any sacrifices just to see you happy. But you know where do we fall weak? When you criticize us in front of everybody. When you tell them that we as kids haven't given you anything. No matter how much we give we will never be able to equal you so why this comparison? If I fail I know it hurts you but it hurts me more, I don't want to be a burden on you but that also doesn't mean I should be married off. You told me since childhood that I shouldn't talk to strangers and now you are telling me to meet them and decide if that person is perfect to marry. I don't understand this. I don't want kids. We all want to give you the love and respect you deserve but stop comparing us. The world is cruel please let us come to you and cry for once.
