It took us back to the fun we had with friends, to the drawings we made that all appeared to be similar. But amidst this fun there were things we didn’t prefer, things we would need to flee from. These things were nonstop “bothering” from our fathers or the elder ones of the house. Study properly, concentrate while studying, less TV, have haircuts regularly, don’t have cold water after playing an outdoor game etc. These things were excessively irritating when we were a child, we didn’t understand the vitality or the reason behind the consistent bothering.

Later, when the child in the feature is all grown up and has moved to an alternate city, working in a multinational he understands that life wasn’t simple. He wouldn’t have been in this enormous firm if his father didn’t make him study hard, he wouldn’t be so trained and well mannered if there was nobody correcting him throughout. He additionally understands that life is hard to manage, the bills, the bosses, the due dates and so forth. Life is brimming with obligations, agony, disappointment and this was precisely what his father experienced as well yet never demonstrated.
