The Uncle
There are times when I accept the replacement, rejection, choice and there are times when I am in so much pain that I have to relive the beautiful memories which I protected from being tarnished, just so I can function in daily life. One such morning today.
The Uncle, who immigrated aeons ago to a land of opportunity. The strict discipline with which he led his life making him iconic of that era. The unsaid hardships of an immigrant's life, which led to those values and disciplines - part of which he carried from India. The current generation with a quiet rebellion and yet not trying to upset him. The culture of eating out resulting in the waste of precious savings. The outlook that same enjoyment can be had at home using home reserves of liquor and home made food. The perception of enjoyment - changing over generations. The value system and the ideals of immigrants...... What a beautiful peek into the past on whose pedestal we stand today.
Encapsulated by a single figure, The Uncle.
