Evolving does not mean leaving behind people who backed us to be capable and accomplish our life goals. Grandparents form the strongest pillar when it comes to become a person with values. Being in trend is fine but getting away from our roots is not. With time lifestyles have changed; but the concern remains as - is this change profitable to our near and dear ones, especially our family?
This blog is a sheer attempt by a student at AISSMS Institute of Management which tells you why to cope up with the trends sticking to your sanskars. Give it a read and see how it helps you alter your mindset to a better living.
Old Age Home Heart Touching Story
One day visit to an old age home... superior’s office, one couple was also there with their kid and they were having a conversation with the office head...The couple was there to admit the name of their father in that particular old age home and the office head was explaining them the formalities regarding it.
The office head asked the man to fill the form, as he started filling it.
The kid inquired, ” Papa for whom you are filling this form?”
The man replied, “I am filling this form for your grandfather as he’s going to stay here from now onwards”
The kid made a puppy face & questioned again, “Why won’t he stay with us anymore, do I bother him a lot?”
The man laughed and said,” No no my son you don’t bother him, it’s just he’s old now and needs to be taken care of that’s why he’ll stay here, this uncle will take good care of him.”
The kid enthusiastically said to the man, ” Then I’ll also fill one form for you so when you’ll get old I’ll send you here and you’ll be taken good care of because I love you”.
Everybody was shocked to hear this thing because the kid thought old age homes are meant to be taken care of old people but for the mature human like us, the old age homes are for giving up the responsibilities on!!
Conclusion
A nuclear family is today’s trend but in a race to follow this trend we forgot that each and every member of the family plays really major role in our lives everybody has something or the other to teach us.
Our parents or grandparents are not staying with us, it’s we who are staying with them, understand the difference.Our grandparents do not need a stick for the support they need us to be their support.
It is very rightly said that ” Bachpan or Budhapa ek jaisa hota hai, jaha insan ko bass Kisi Apne ke sath ki jarurat Hoti hai”Let sanskar and trend go hand in hand and respect every human.
