SHADOW BOXING! IT WAS MOST SHOCKING TO SEE TWO OF THE VERY SMART MOTHERS OF OUR STD X STUDENTS SUDDENLY APPEAR IN THE SCHOOL WITH THEIR BEAUTIFUL HAIR ‘SHAVED’. “SIR” ONE OF THEM TOLD ME, “WE WENT TO OUR TEMPLE BY WALK FROM OUR HOME ( A DISTANCE OF 50 KILOMETERS) AND SHAVED OUR HEADS – SO THAT OUR SONS WILL DO WELL IN THE BOARD EXAMS”. BOTH OF THEM HAD BLISTERS ON THE SOLE OF THEIR FEET BECAUSE OF THE BAREFOOT WALKING IN THE HOT SUN. WHILE APPRECIATING THE GREAT LOVE OF THE MOTHERS FOR THEIR SONS AND THEIR GREAT FAITH IN THE DIVINE, THE TEACHER MIND IN ME WAS ANALYZING THE GREATEST FLAW OF THE HUMAN MIND , THE ANXIETY OF THE MOTHERS AND ALSO FATHERS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN. WE IMAGINE SO MANY OBSTACLES AND PROBLEMS FOR OUR CHILDREN, 99% OF WHICH ARE NON EXISTENT. IN THE PROCESS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND TIME WASTED,SLEEP LOST AND THE AGONY ON THE WAY IS UNIMAGINABLE! IF AT ALL THERE IS AN EXAMPLE FOR THE PROVERBIAL ‘SHADOW BOXING’ THIS IS IT. THIS HAPPENS IN MY OWN HOME AS IN MOST HOMES. BUT AS IN THE CASE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED MOTHERS, WHOSE SONS I ALWAYS KNEW, WILL SCORE 75% IN THEIR EXAMS AND WHICH THEY DID AT THE END THE ANXIETY EN ROUTE WAS VERY UNFOUNDED BUT I WHICH I NOW KNOW IS UNAVOIDABLE – BECAUSE MOTHERS BRAINS ARE CREATED THAT WAY AND THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR IT!
