Central Cottage Industries Emporium — once fondly known as 'Cottage' to craft lovers all over India — ended in disappointment this week. The unwieldy split-level store was almost entirely empty at 4 pm on a weekday afternoon; and that includes the staff as none were to be seen except for the doorman. The pottery department (my destination) was even more deserted as many shelves were empty, and the rest very sparsely filled. Now that there are crafts aplenty available both online and in stores, heading to a government-owned emporium was perhaps naive. Who goes there these days anyway? Only people of my generation or older, presumably, for whom these were once the only places to access India's amazing traditional art and crafts. The paucity of stores selling crafts in the bad old days of socialism made state emporia the only option for traditional weaves, homeware, and even gifts. Some of them were better than others, of course.

Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, created a stir at Wimbledon 2024 when he abruptly walked out of a BBC interview after being repeatedly questioned about his outburst at the Centre Court crowd. The incident occurred following his fourth-round win against Holger Rune, where Djokovic accused the crowd of being disrespectful. The controversy began when Djokovic, visibly upset by the behavior of some spectators, lashed out at the crowd during his on-court interview. He claimed that the fans were booing him, although the presenter suggested they were actually cheering for Rune. Despite the presenter’s attempt to clarify the situation, Djokovic remained adamant about the perceived disrespect. During the subsequent BBC interview, Djokovic's frustration grew as the reporter focused solely on the crowd incident. After answering three questions about the crowd, Djokovic snapped, asking if there were any questions about the match or other topics. When the reporter prepared to ask about his upcoming quarter-final match against Alex de Minaur, Djokovic walked out of the interview, accompanied by his representative.

Such parents repeatedly tell children that their lives are dedicated to them. Many are prepared to do whatever it takes to provide what they think is the best for their children. This indulgence begins with birthday parties and treats, moves on to coaching classes and courses of choice, and extends to setting them up and subsidising their adult lives. The less we talk about lavish weddings, the better. Financial planners indicate that children’s education is the top financial goal for most parents. They save aggressively to make this happen. They work well beyond providing reasonably for their children. A combination of factors is at play: parents want their dreams fulfilled by children; they relive their lives through them; they compete in social circles over the accomplishments of their children; they believe that indulging every whim is a mark of good parenting; they suffer the guilt of being away at work and try to make it up to them, opening the door for manipulation. The list that blames the parents is fairly long.
