Late at night, the police raided the place. Teenagers aged 15 to 18, from well-educated families and prestigious schools, were caught intoxicated. They were warned and released. Among them was Sonal.
Her mother’s voice rang through the house: “If she keeps behaving like this, we’ll have no face left in society!”
Sonal snapped, “Stop it! I’m sick of your sermons! What did I do? Had a little whiskey, had fun with friends—just like your cocktail parties at home!
And your dance manners? That day, wearing a backless sleeveless dress, clinging to Bas in front of everyone... and his hand—”
Smack. Sonal screamed.
Her father, dazed, watched the mother and daughter sobbing uncontrollably. He kept wondering—what went wrong?
Sonal’s parents failed to model the values they preached. Their own contradictions—between private indulgence and public morality—confused the child. When ideals are not lived, they lose their power to guide.
