A family living on the foothills of Himalayas in
India was apparently content and happy. The couple had a small boy, who
being their only son was being brought up with extreme caution and
sincerity. The mother was particularly very concerned
about safety and growth of her child as she had experienced some
traumatic events in her own life which led her to be quite obsessed
about situations surrounding her child. Being surrounded by dense
forests and various sorts of wild animals, parents always
made sure that their kid takes only safe routes, do not go beyond
certain heights and alike. While the father was busy in earning and
feeding the family,mother being solely responsible for bringing up her
kid and also immensely driven by her own fears in unconscious
ways, had put severe limitations on what the boy should do and what not
.Though the external beauty was immense ,the boy gradually build a
world of his own, accepting limitations imposed in most diligent ways.
His room had a corner where he used to feel himself
cozy lying with his old and faithful dog. He used to talk very less,
and even if he wanted to have some amount of it, he didn’t know how to
express himself. His mother who was now growing old was somewhere
satisfied as she thought she gave a protected environment
and brought up her child safe and strong amid such wild conditions, but
then the knots and clots in psyche of young boy were immense, he grew
up in illusion as to which world was real and why his world looks so
different to the world which his eyes could see,
but heart couldn’t felt.
