Hello to all SGPians

Now that Ishaan-suhana has moved to Mumbai and staying apart from their family,miss their family especially Suhana as she is the one who is all alone at home and Ishaan is at office,so Ishaan can somehow manage as he is indulged in office acitivities n that helps him to divert his mind.

Now coming to the topic

Its part and parcel of our lives, we have to leave our parents and in fact our parents did the same to our grandparents. Being a girl or boy, no matter in some or the other way every one goes through this rough phase. There are many reasons, some has to leave because of higher education or other has to for advancement in his career, while girls have to leave the parents after marriage. EVERYONE goes through this sooner or later and it's always VERY difficult in the beginning! But once you go there and adapt the area and you'll rarely be home-sick!

A family is responsible to builds up a person's personality. How you behave and what you become in life is very much dependent on our family life. Family is a place where we can be ourself. It is a place where there's are no terms and conditions,can live the life we want & everyone is there to help you. Family supports us when in troubles and helps us endure through tough times & bring joy and pleasure into life. We are closer to our parents and siblings as compared to any other person in the world. As we grow up there are many changes and we find good friends, spouses, kids and colleagues to share our lives with. Although time brings this change but the importance of family remains there.

Initially Kashyap family was against Ishaan moving to Mumbai for promotion but this is the genuine reaction of most of the parents as they can't think their life without their children, but gradually they accept the truth as the time passes they too understand and in fact feels proud of their children as even they want to see their children successful. Here where Kashyaps were against initially,there are many who themselves wants their children to go further. For all this Phase is not same, some might have to go against their parents while some do it because of their parent.

Most of the SGPians are staying away from their parents. So now I want u to share ur Stories. How difficult was it for you, how u convinced your parents, how u adapted absolutely different surrounding, how u managed to come out of homesickness, and how much u miss your family. Do u feel that even though u achieved so much in life but still incomplete without your parents.

This is my first discussion thread, please do comment and share your views

hi meenu your post is very nice and meaningful... every person at some point of their lives goes thru this phase and to every person has a different approach to this separation... it will be interesting to read stories and experiences of our members of SGP fan club... althou my separation was a very long time ago 35 years...so maybe cannot now account my feelings of that time
but look at the other pehelu... what a parent goes thru when the child goes away either for higher education.. or marriage and once they go they very rarely come back...how the parents cope up with this separation is something i can talk about ...believe me it is very hard... it really breaks your heart but for the kids sake as we say dil pe pathar rakhkar bhej dete hain...here in japan we are still aliens althou we have stayed here for so long and the kids althou born here are still aliens and japan doenst offer much to aliens... so there was no choice but to send them abroad...
at first ghaar katne ko dorta tha... but slowly and gradually we get used to it... and now after 10-12 years...we sort of get resigned to it ... but thanks to the invention of the computer and skype...and viber and tango... the world has become very small so it doesnt hurt so much now...

OMG!! BTW whats ur Age??? I toh thought u were in ur 30's..lol

So now you are the one who has gone through every rough phase...first separation from parents and then Kids. I have not been through any of the phase but know the consequences of both.I m sure it wont be easy for u to leave apart from your kids,and especially being a mother its really difficult as they r sensitive but when needed indeed turns the most strongest pillar of the house.Bidding Adieu to your loved ones n when u know that they r not going to come back n settle in their own lives.. that's the time when heart shatters..but we all deal with the happening and gradually come out of our sorrows.
And ya rightly said..thanks to inventions of new technologies that the world has become a smaller place to live in.

Nice Topic Meenu ,

Well , When I got married I didn't know what MARRIAGE means !!! I understood responsibilities , understood Family aspect of it but never really saw what It means on the grand scale or Whole Picture . I had the pieces but It took me awhile to understood what It means .
I believe each & Everyone has their own way of adjusting to Others' rules regulation & adopting to environment . When I got married I knew one thing Adjusting to new Environment is not an Option [ I was never going to pursue it even if it was ] I adjusted with the environment or New Family very well . I always tackle problems my way , My own Mantra " One step at a time, One thing at a Time " !!!
When I came to USA It was start of a Winter , [ Specially U came from India, ] Freezing cold . I stayed with My Brother for few days . 😆 Must tell U Snow Fall is the best sight to see [ Magnificent ] But Cold afterword is something U don't look forward to .
My real adjustment came when I went with My Hubby [ Real Sasural ] 😉 Well , Apartment had nothing , No bed , I had all the kitchen things . V slept on Floor for atleast 2 - 3 months . No phone , No TV , Nothing . My Bro gave me his Old Tape recorder so I can listen to music , some books, Old Computer [ Very Old ] nothing else. 😆 First 6 months of our life or should I say Entire first Year of our Married life V spent our pay check on Life's Necessity .First thing V bought was TV . My Fav. Pass time was look out side the window . See people , U know . Which is rude but what else I could do .
I get through it all . Never once I called My Brother or Dad saying I miss U guys . I want to come back or send some Money . I can't stay like this . Life is a challenge , constant work . Now , I can proudly say I can survive again . If I have to . Never once My Dad asked me How R U doing ? I come from Suhana like background , While My Hubby from Ishan like . So for me My life drastically changed . Till this day Life has taught me many Valuable lessons .
As for finding my place in My Parents environment. I m part of My Parents & They r part of me . No one can change the fact . My Parents & I have an understanding , As long as my Brothers r taking their responsibilities very well , I will not interfere with him . If he calls me middle of the night I will b there for my Brothers - Sisters & parents . but If he doesn't then I will not feel bad but feel proud of him . I don't feel outsider . I know my place . Before It was different in our parents' time but time has changed . For me getting importance in My Parents' home is patty little thing . What I can really control is I can show them what they mean to me not How they repay my Love or respect me .
I do miss my parents , My Home , Everything those childhood memories but In order to Move on in Life , U can't constantly look back . I can't say I don't miss but I rather think abt things I have [ B grateful for them ] than Cry over living in another country [ specially My hubby doesn't deserve this ]
My Fav. Poem has these words . It always makes me close to My Loved Ones .
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
