We often hear from children that of generation gap and
zamana being different. Between father and son, mother
and daughter, elders and youngsters there is difference
of opinion. That has to be intelligently handled. The
children most of the times do not hear to the elders observations
and it is vice versa. It is wrong to leave everything
to the whims and fancies. It has to be shrewdly managed.
In our house I will not exercise control on my children to obey
my orders. They have all grown up in our house. They know our attitudes.
Yet my zamana was different. Most of my children hear to what I
say patiently. Just because of that I would not impose anything
on them. I keep three options before them. They decide on it and
take final decision. Sometime they compare their ideas with my ideas
and say the ideas were the same running in the mind. Finally they
agree.
 Without
telling it should happen will not happen. We should take
the yesterday take something from today and forge ahead
for future. The new sapling on a fertile land would lead
to good results.
When Shivanna was studying in Madras we were facing a sort of uncomfortable
position. Dr.Raj was always concerned about neat haircut and simple
hair style. But Shivanna was leaving lengthy hair. Everyday Dr.Raj
was telling him to have hair cut. He was upset with such regular
pestering. I was caught in between the two. I was left with consoling
both on the particular issue that has divided opinion. It was difficult
for me to take sides.
 I
was using a plan at such a situation. When Varadappa was
coming from Bangalore I was asking him to suggest a good
plan for this typical problem. He was selecting the good
mood and coming out with solutions.
When Varadappa was consoling Dr.Rajkumar that present day boys
are like this Puneeth as young boy was coming with very short hair
cut and telling see how I have cut my hair. Dr.Rajkumar was telling
'that you are my real son'. Others were getting angry on 7 to 8
years young Puneeth.
 Varadappa
was continuing his consoling session. Shivanna was around
16 years then. When they become intelligent they would
change themselves is what Varadappa presenting his opinion.
They see Amitabh Bachchan cinema and they want to look
like him was the statement Varadappa was making again.
Still Dr.Rajkumar was angry and telling this hairstyle
is not good for him let him change his style. The topic
was not ending there. Varadappa was ready with another
statement. He told Dr.Raj once that he (Dr.Raj) was having
the lengthy hair when he came to films. After doing social
films only you cut your hair was Varadappa argument. If
the children ask like this what answer you would give
was the questioning Varadappa making to Dr.Raj. In the
climax Varadappa was consoling that the children should
not feel that my father is poking his nose for everything.
 Varadappa
was not stopping his concern at this stage. He was taking
the children also to console them and arrange for hair
cut and bringing them before Dr.Raj to convince him. Varadappa
was also informing Dr.Raj the danger that children may
tonsure their head out of dejection and regular pestering.
I remember each and every discussion to this day. When I was telling
him you were like this and our children are like this today, Dr.Raj
was replying it is not Rajkumar time but Amitabh Bachchan time.
There is another interesting incident. When Shivaji Prabhu was
studying in Bangalore he was seeing only Dr.Rajkumar films. Once
Shivaji Ganeshan asked him why you are seeing only Dr.Rajkumar films?
For that Shivaji Prabhu said I am Dr.Rajkumar fan. All Kannadigas
in Madras have seen your films and made you popular and I am seeing
Dr.Rajkumar films here in Bangalore. When Shivaji Ganeshan said
to Prabhu are you not my fan, he replied I am not your fan but only
your son.
Prabhu was wearing the shirt similar to what Dr.Raj was wearing
in his films. When Dr.Raj film was releasing the shirt
he was wearing was in full demand. The tailor Emnath in
Seshadripuram was very busy. The shirts and pants stitched
by Emnath were very satisfying for Dr.Raj.
