What the actress Shruti Hassan said reminds me of what my dad said when someone asked him, why would you want to send your only child so long away to Delhi for further studies.
He said "I myself studied in Meerut, long away from home. How would it be fair to not send my child now?". I do not remember him ever telling me to study well. He always said I must educate myself well and develop all-round capabilities and communication skills.
I owe him a lot; so much that I cannot ever return. All I can do is to give it back to my children.
