In response to Sonya’s 3 line tale, week # 130
Mini loved her world of colours and could infuse life into any canvas with her brushes, much to the chagrin of her father, who wanted her to pursue sciences like him.
After a heated altercation with him in the morning, she came back from school, aghast to find all her paintings trampled and colors scattered all across the floor.
From then on, her life was just an insipid blank canvas, devoid of any colors or emotions.

Oh, this breaks my heart..when the parent forces their will on kids. I’m always trying not to be like one of those.The more you give space and nurture your kid’s talent the more he will bloom.

I feel very strongly against parents who do not allow children to pursue their interest of study. So I guess many of my posts reflect this Divya!

Painful. Despite all of our development, there are parents, who still believe and want their children to pursue simple and direct options in study, anything out of the box, is still looked upon.
