do the elders respect the youngsters? do the teachers respect the students?

Respect has to be mutual !

that's not where i was going with that.

if youngsters respect elders and elders respect youngsters and if youngsters are told to show their respect by touching the elders feet and the elders don't do the same then there is something wrong with the act of touching the feet. if there is nothing wrong with the act of touching the feet then the elders would do that too.

Mister K.....I would like the scientists to be skeptical rather than being cynical..........I don't know how I person would try to prove something until he assumes its existence first......You say that there is no Yeti until proven......I say there is a Yeti until its existence is disproved....I just used the yeti as an example(I don't believe there is a Yeti)......Just because we are unable to prove something because comprehending it is beyond human abilities doesn't mean it doesn't exist.............I am a skeptic and I am a strong believer of 'MAY BE'.

jewelery usually appreciates. the rest of the items that you mentioned depreciate. including bride and groom.

Not sure about every fourth part but yes the divorce rates are high. I had attended a wedding just a few months back, in a Delhi farmhouse. The theme of the decor was simply too beautiful as was the F&B and multi cuisine arangements. Everything seemed to be perfect about the celebration arrangement. However the divorce came in just a months time due to some differences betw the couple. The groom could not agree to the brides insistance on having her dog on their bed every night !

K, elders give blessings that are often accompained by putting their palm on the youngster's head or kissing on the forehead. Both gestures are very comforting. Always have a soothing effect on me.

It does not have to be perfect tit for tat all the time. Because if this is what one insists for then even nature discriminated while designing male and female bodies, by aging degenerating elders' body, by making some tall, some fat, some thin, some deformed.........Cribbings will never end as the list is unending

nope. not talking about tit for tat.

youngsters kiss elders too. love is mutual. respect is mutual. the acts of expressing are a little different and that is what is being questioned.

i will give you an example.

let's say shaking the hand is considered as two people respecting each other. an elder and an youngster can shake hands. nothing wrong in that.

but touching the feet is being considered as an expression of respect but at the same time an elder in india refuses to do that to youngsters which clearly says that the act is wrong.

the elder will acknowledge that he / she has respect. but he will not commit the act. what does that tell you?

batchey kya padosiyon sey aatey hain? Aulad hoti hai, pariwaar badhta hai - woh bhi toh appreciation hee hua na😆

batchey ki appreciation apna khatey mein thodi dal sakte hain. woh unke khatey mein jayegi.
