Material World

Recently, I had a nice long chat with my childhood buddies Rambabu and Mohan. While chatting about life (and other 40+ stuff!), Rambabu theorized that, generally speaking, the more successful (career wise) the kids are, the less attention they pay to their parents in their prime years.  His theory reminded me of this Harry Chapin's song. I remember that my dad brought me this single on an audio cassette from Canada in early 80s, and I loved it from the moment I heard it.  


I agree with Rambabu.  In addition, like in this song, it can go both ways.  While my dad was far from the character in this song, I feel that I turnout to be the son:-(
