When kids go astray..

Agree with you. This would be most disheartening for any parent.

Chikloo is too small maybe middle school but even at this age, kids get into bad company and habits like bunking, lying, gambling with street games, cricket betting, etc.

Parents should be on constant watch at each stage of their kid's life.

This is the worst thing that can happen to any parent. Most parents think the same way,'baccha hai' but it is also true that this is the age when rule breaking makes you cool. Bunking or proxy are heroic terms.

Chiku's story made me cry for I personally know someone who got destroyed before the family could do anything. And yes it began with gambling. He used mobile top up cards.

P.S: I don't like the father. So much fuss about power failure.😕

Exactly. This kind offense needs be stopped just when it'll be traced. So what Mantu did or will do is right.
Although in western /modern rule it is said that try make him understand with care, love etc. But Mantu tried that. It didn't work. He went to a place where anything bad could happen to him. Criminals live there, police comes. They may shoot, he may get killed or kidnapped too. So harsh punishment with strict care is needed for him.
Instead of letting him go alone to school or for tution Mantu should take him there. Instead of giving him money he should buy things to him. No need to give a kid freedom , who can't respect that. Sometimes parents has to be strong.
P.S. I'm sorry to hear your story. I've also witnessed some incidents like this. I wish parents could be more careful to this. Indian rules of teaching and guiding is not always wrong. At least in this point our rules are the best in the world.

About the story. I think soon Mantu will take him to Zaz. But there is an Amaya . The grown up Chikku. Or what Chikku may turn in to. Stealing electricity from others houses and etc.

Can't blame the old man. As he thinks Rishi a criminal. After seeing his daughters doing the same thing like stealing someone's electricity and destroying their generator----------who will like that? It is her Nanaji, or else other neighbors would call police and send Amaya to jail. Or if he thinks Sneha did this-----------just think how shocking it will be for a father! His damad made his daughter so corrupted than she can steal electricity from his house. I wonder if it was in reality how would a father react. Specially if he had a good relationship with his daughter----------he would go to the house and punish her too. All these-------------because of that stupid Amaya.

They've shown the whole thing in a nice way. Mantu was searching for Amaya's past---------Chikku. And Chikku's future was Amaya. I wonder what would happen to Chikku if Amaya meets him. Either Amaya will turn good or Chikku will turn a criminal someday.

Love the way they are now telling the story.

The age Chiklu is at is the age when kids go astray, hope Mantu can turn things around, Jazz is definitely the key here, she will help Mantu.

Chickloo is too mature for his age...and though Mantu tries his best to fulfill his needs still the absence of both the parents cannot be fulfilled. A child needs reasons to be in love with his home...although, children of chickloo's age...still would have no courage or idea to bunk school/tuition, go for gambling...Chicloo's case is different as he has become mentally mature due to his circumstances and with more exposure to older people.

Will comment once I have seen the episode. Still I would to say that the comments re CHikloo are apt.

Oh boy he is making weird plans of making it big in life. 😕

i dont know if its right or not.
but i have always liked the free way of learning everything. i like the self realization way of knowing everything.
i think everyone should act freely, even if they fail, they should learn by their own mistakes. its like adapt with something, like even if i cant do something at the first attempt, i think after failing on several occasions, people get adapt to that things, learn it through experience of the past. and finally do it some how even they may not realize.
about right or wrong thing, i think it should come from the mind. no one should dictate it. every one should be able to discern between right and wrong from their own mind, and own goodness.
i have never liked this dictating act of parents and teachers.
i have always liked the eklavya of mahabharat. he was amazing and a selftought student. eklavya always inspires me.

Eklavya was one of his kind. I respect him too. But wasn't Arjun too a great hero who was in the guidance of a wise guru like Drona and Kripa, was learning enough from Pitamaha Bhisma, had an inspiration like Yudhisthira and also a great friend to Lord Krishna himself. Yes, guidance is required. Eklavya made a wise choice in life. Not all do and that is the problem.

The point you made should be encouraged no doubt about it but it seriously has some severe restrictions. You ought to make one such atmosphere before starting the 'try and learn' process. This again brings the whole society in the picture. To me learning is a never ending process. The parents, the teachers and the society altogether teach you how to learn and you keep on doing it all your life.

Trying has to be taught. I too don't like dictating the kids but I think guidance is a much required thing. Like someone enjoys cricket and I will pressurize him to learn maths is not the right way to do it. If I guide him how to enhance his cricketing skills then it can be called guidance.

Teenage is a critical point. Neither too young nor too old. By this age people learn to make decisions how much right or wrong they may be and live in delusion that nobody understands them or their decisions which are obviously the best in the world.Consequences hardly matter to them. That explains the eternal problem of peer pressure.

That brings the real challenge for the parents about how to handle those situations. For a teenager wearing specs can be something so bad that they can try kill themselves so as to save from the shame. I thought the same way when I got specs. That was new life in college and wearing specs made me under confident. BUt now at this age I care a damn about it. I want to wear it and so I wear it. This is the difference between a teen and a grown up adult.

All in all, we cannot diminish the role of a teacher in our life. So kabir says it all,

"Guru Saman Data Nahin, Yaachak Shishya Saman.
Teen Lok ki Sampada, So Guru Dinhi Daan"

yes i agree with you.
that was just my preference.
you know i am a student, but i have never liked anyone dictating and pressurizing my study.
i have always liked the free way of learning everything from my childhood.
