Most of us have heard similar statements, at some point or the other.

The sad truth is that it still remains a little difficult to explain our ambitions to them, no matter how understanding they might be.
“Beta, Engineering ke bina kya future hoga?” – Every parent ever.
Through this thoughtful video, Heineken has managed to start a dialogue between parents and children in a light-hearted manner. The video features a stand-up comic describing typical Indian dialogues around careers and dreams. His performance leaves both parents and youngsters sitting in the audience, in splits.

Make sure you watch the video with your parents!
