00:00Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!
00:02What are you doing on the phone?
00:03Whose insta are you smiling at?
00:06When I was your age, I used to study under a tree in the village.
00:10We didn't have a lighter.
00:11We used to earn money and take care of the whole family.
00:14And you can't take care of yourself.
00:18A river used to flow from our house to the village.
00:21God, it was so tough.
00:23We used to remove our school uniform.
00:25Look at your life.
00:26And we used to carry our school bag like this.
00:28Everything is given to you all on a platter, bloody.
00:31When you are of our age, you will understand this.
00:38All this is a lie, son.
00:40My parents also told me this lie.
00:43And now we are recycling and telling you.
00:47If there was a mobile in my time, then I would also be on the mobile.
00:54Actually, I am still on the mobile.
00:55We also opened an Instagram account.
00:58I send you so many good morning messages on WhatsApp.
01:01And sometimes when you look sad, I make a big mistake.
01:05You have forbidden me, but still I ask you directly that how are you, son?
01:10And you say that I am fine, dad.
01:14My heart doesn't agree that you are okay.
01:17Right?
01:19Your life is not easy.
01:21Bad days.
01:22Bad marks.
01:24Bad breakups.
01:25Sometimes you feel that life is bad.
01:29Right?
01:30So sometimes you may think.
01:32Will it even matter if you give up and go away?
01:37Does anyone even care?
01:41Look, son.
01:42We are not your parents.
01:44But we are parents.
01:46We understand this generation gap.
01:49Yes.
01:50Your parents may not be able to understand you sometimes.
01:55They may look like villains.
01:57Sometimes they don't get the right words to talk to you.
02:02Sometimes they can't show love because of the communication gap.
02:06But they worry about you.
02:09And they really, really, really love you.
02:11So please.
02:12When you can't sleep at 3 in the night.
02:15Talk to your parents.
02:17When you can't take the pressure of exams.
02:19When you feel that if you share the sad quotes on Instagram,
02:24that's the only way to make yourself heard.
02:26If your heart breaks in love, talk to them.
02:29You can just write them a little chit.
02:31It will be a little awkward.
02:34But try talking to them.
02:36And if your problems are with your parents,
02:40then definitely talk to them.
02:42I mean, before your BFF, pitch your mind.
02:45And yes.
02:46There will be times when it will seem impossible to talk to your parents.
02:52And there are some of us who don't even have parents to talk to.
02:59Even then.
03:00There must be someone who wants to listen to you.
03:03You do not need to feel alone.
03:07Talk to someone about your heart.
03:11It may be a friend.
03:13A stranger.
03:14A stranger.
03:15Or a number.
03:17Talk to them.
03:19Talk to someone.
03:23Please.
03:24Okay, dear.
