Malay-English Dictionary
The family is one of the oldest and most important human institutions. Most of us grow up in a family and then establish a family of our own.
The family unit provides economic support for its members, safeguards the health of each individual, meets the needs of the young for protection and training, and ensures that social and cultural values are instilled into the children. The family environment also offers social and emotional support, affection and a sense of belonging.
The various members of the family have their own special roles to play in fulfilling the dreams and visions of its members individually and as a family unit.
Parents want the best for their children. No parents in their right senses would like to see their children go astray. Parents have to play their role in providing for and looking after their children to the best of their ability. Parents also have to inculcate good moral and spiritual values in their offspring.
The children cannot just be passive members of the family. It is important that the children also identify their role and play it effectively with guidance from their parents and teachers. The young members of the family must avoid deviating from the right path by basing their activities and lifestyle on a certain code of conduct.

Family members spend a great deal of their time away from each other at work, at school or at other places outside the home. They often spend limited time together and may seldom indulge in common activities that foster togetherness and emotional interaction.
Different members of the family will have their own, often conflicting, interests. Dad is probably fully immersed in his career, his mind preoccupied with money matters, and the golf course may be his only sanctuary for relaxation. Mum has to worry about running the household and a new recipe for dessert may be the only excitement in her day. The kids, on the other hand, don't understand what the fuss is all about when there are such wonderful things as games, comics, hobbies, movies and television to keep them occupied.
The Internet, and more specifically the Web, can contribute towards bringing the family together. This Web Site attempts to provide the means for the family members to share and discuss their interests and excitements with one another, and it is tempting to envisage Dad and Mum and the kids sitting together in front of the monitor engrossed in the infinite amount of stuff available on the Web.
A few words about the Bhanot family
Dad, Diljeet Kumar Bhanot, is a doctor running his own private practice. He is a former student of the Victoria Institution. Besides his tight clinic schedule, Dad has to find time to keep up with the latest in medicine by reading up journals and attending seminars and talks. Now the Internet is a very useful tool for Continuing Medical Education (CME).
Dad loves hear and sing Hindi devotional songs or bhajans, and popular filmi songs. Dad has even tried his hand at composing a few bhajans. He believes that religious understanding is very important - we must try to understand not only our own religion but also the religious beliefs of others. He is a regular Internet surfer and likes to play around with computers and computer software.
Mum, Nirmala, is a full-time housewife, or rather a household administrator. She is an ardent advocate of a healthy lifestyle which includes lots of appropriate physical exercise and a good diet. She is also a yoga enthusiast.
The Bhanots have three sons: Rahul Chetan Bhanot, who is 20; Rajiv Anand Bhanot, 18; and Sachin Ajay Bhanot, who is 12 years old. Rahul is studying Computer Engineering, while Rajiv is doing a pre-university course. Sachin is still in primary school. Other than the time spent in their studies, the kids have their hands full with various extracurricular activities, including soccer, badminton, swimming, drumming, guitar, stamp-collecting, television and cyber-chatting.
