7th May 2026 — Follow Lane: Karachi Teaches You What Society Really Is

Discipline

 

 

This is a long podcast for reel-proned individuals, but have a breath, where guys like him who is off the same age group of our fathers, fathers are always role-models, but he himself a father, accepts his faults humbly, because whatever we as Millennials are facing were incorporated during their times, and hence we as Millennials have to seek what kind of examples we are setting for GEN-ALPHA and GEN-BETA, because GEN-Z have been manipulated, because they have no good examples to follow.

Yesterday, at Millennium Mall, got an inDrive ride

He was slightly younger i.e., late twenties, was also listening to a podcast in mobile's speaker phone, which also discussed baby-boomers accepting the fact that coming time is not ours, I didn't listen much, but this was something made me think that I am not only thinking like that, instead I personally feel that this era we are living in, requires us to collaborate, instead of competing, right now I am in competition with my own family members, but family members doesn't willing to understand that not everything could be fixed, something especially those things which are not related to you isn't supposed to be controlled accordingly, I am head of my family i.e., Wife and my Son; and hence I will take it as interference, although I have differences with them, but they are readily my support, because I am support for my wife, but my wife ain't support for me, instead she always try to compete with me, just like I experienced during my banking career with my fellows, my question still remains; should I treat my wife just like outsiders? as I am being treated by my wife as an outsider, and although my parents are my support, but still they are in nag k I follow their rituals, for which if you go through above podcast, it was told that first wash hands with Lifebuoy soap (chuckles), than sanitize, than dry your hands with clean towel, this is how I am treating their decisions, because I don't want to enter into these mess just like they spent, and this is a reality that my wife forget her time, when I safeguard her respect and dignity by taking stand for not taking her to مولوی and حکیم instead I changed her mindset, and as soon as I relaxed her nerves, she conceived baby; but now wife forgot all of this, instead my mom using her as her Dynamic Duo, else just tell me, especially matured females, that if you find your partner getting disturbed by these actions, what is going to be primary remedy? Insult your partner by saying I am getting angry? whereas my anger comes AFTER consoling which my wife isn't respecting, instead her story starts from anger, instead not prior to anger where there is a patience level, instead you respect me, I will respect you but here I have been unfortunate enough to face such circumstances where I have to face Wife separately, Mother separately, and father alternatively.

Yesterday with father

I don't believe in disrespecting, but the responsibility of elders is to create equal grounds inside the family, unlike this that yesterday my brother hit my son where son was coming only to cuddle, is he waiting for another epileptic patient for me, and want myself to live life and repeat the same mistakes like they did? Is this the definition of "Obedience" according to them? 

This is actually the split of events for which I have been suffering because I don't want to repeat those mistakes by my parents, I am protecting myself.

Respecting Elders

Respecting Elders — Or Respecting Emotional Tyranny? In our part of the world, the phrase “Respect your elders” is repeated so frequently that it has almost become untouchable. Questioning it is treated like rebellion, immorality, or arrogance. But very few people stop and ask an uncomfortable question: What happens when the demand for respect becomes a tool for emotional control? This is not a theoretical discussion for me. It comes from personal experience — from years of observing how authority within families can slowly transform into psychological domination while still hiding behind cultural and religious slogans. The Manufactured Definition of Respect Some elders no longer define respect as dignity, manners, or healthy conduct. Instead, respect becomes: Obedience without questioning Silence during injustice Emotional surrender Acceptance of humiliation Carrying forward outdated mindsets without adaptation The moment a younger person expresses discomfort, disagreement, or indepe...
