I remember what horrifying incidents I faced growing up but only a few

You know it's easy to write about your joys, but it's not easy to write about what you feel bad about, or “I wish I could do this or do that." But I will do this, honestly. So let’s start here.

  

Hi Deb You were six and big enough to keep your mom happy, but you always annoyed her with your naughty actions. I know you don’t like the thrashing you receive from her at least twice a week, so it’s time you change yourself or face the music continuously. Yeah, that would be the first line of my confession of what I did to annoy them and what I received in return. I guess I received more than I gave them.

Hi Deb, You are seven now and still too small, so you are not aware of what’s in store for you at this age. So I suggest you not annoy your teacher because your cute look and innocent face will not help your cause, but only your actions will. To be frank, you don’t know what’s good for you but try to be a good child. I know you are not the happiest child because your father doesn’t bring all the toys you ask for, but please stay satisfied with whatever he gives you.

You know it's easy to write about your joys, but it's not easy to write about what you feel bad about, or “I wish I could do this or do that." But I will do this, honestly. So let’s start here.

Do you remember the game of Kabaddi with a group of girls when you were nine and a half? During one of the sorties, you lost your breath and fell to the ground, but the group of girls wanted to make sure you were dead.

So you used a word in your desperation and trying to get up that you thought was harmless, "Saali." The girls got up from you immediately, but they looked stunned.

You did not know that this was an abusive word because you heard it often, as it's a relationship between a man and his wife's sister. So if you say that to your wife's sister, it's okay, but if you say that to anyone else, that sounds like you slept with that person's sister and is considered an abusive word.

Your bad luck that when you used that word, the girls felt offended, and your bad luck that your father returned from his office at that very moment with other officers, and that girl who happened to be the daughter of your father's boss had no hesitation announcing it to your father.

Do you remember the beating you received that evening? The worst part of that beating was that you didn't know why it happened in the first place. The funniest part was when you used abusive words during the beating because you had lost your mental balance. And the good part of that abusive word was that your father stopped the spanking.

Hi, dear Deb, I know you are now ten and in the 6th grade. I appreciate the efforts that you have made to do your best in the last 2–3 years. I am surprised why you feel as if you don’t feel as if you fit in this world perfectly. There are a few reasons you feel that way. We’ll get there.

Let me assure you that you’re capable of standing up to the demands of your parents and teachers. I know you love playing cricket and badminton, and a bright future is waiting for you in the coming years as a sportsman. I also know your father is dead against sports, as he wants you to become an engineer like himself.

Do you remember your fourteenth birthday? his eyes sparkling with dreams in his eyes when he asked you, “What do you want to be as an adult?"

You almost said “a cricketer,” but you stopped short and said “engineer.”

I understand you did not want to disappoint your dad by revealing the truth. By the way, you were good at cricket and could succeed as a cricket player. However, you kept practicing at your school without bringing it to the knowledge of your father.

Dear Deb at Sixteen, You were in high school, doing well in your studies and your beloved game of cricket. Now that you have played in the prestigious interschool tournament and got selected for the district team, according to your coach, your chances of being selected for the state team next year as one of the youngest to do so encourage you to do even better. What a lovely feeling, and if you’re dreaming big as a future cricketer playing for your state and then for your country, you deserve it.

I know it’s a hard feeling, but you should have known that would not happen. Here you stand, almost three years later. You haven’t done it because your father learned it through the newspaper that published the news of your school winning the interschool trophy with you in the team picture.

Dear Deb at Nineteen, I am sorry your father sent you to a distant place for further studies in pre-college, and then you had to forget all about your first love of cricket and concentrate on your studies.

I wish I could tell you you will not accept this situation so easily, but I know you’re a brave boy and will overcome this phase. I want you to know that one day, you’ll do it for your love of games and become a successful engineer. Cheers, Deb! Nothing to worry about! Now you are a bit different from what you were yesterday. But that’s life for you! Isn’t it?

I know you have forgotten the game of cricket and are now playing badminton. I was not surprised to see that you're a fast learner, and with your kind of physical fitness and having the advantage of your height and reach, you’re doing very well.

Dear Deb, let me remind you that you will face many such situations in your future life in the form of social and economic pressure, but you will come out of them as you came out of parental pressure.

Pressures are part of human life, so please understand that they allow all of us to define ourselves. The pressure comes at humans only; animals also live in this world but they feel no pressure.
