Old Age Home

Tough to say and tough to write, this culture doesn't suit on our lives. This place is India, and we call it our mother-land.

 Where someone prays for wealth, someone for success. But proud to say here parents pray for their children health!

Let me say - you please don't yell and remember that shoulder on which you have played.

 Are you thinking to step them away, O' don't you remember how long they have company your way?

Don't even ponder to leave them in old age home, cause they have fulfilled your wishes alone.

Today I had to mollify my heart, Ohh! this is because few are hurting their parent!

I heard Chaganti Koteswara Rao speech and I would like to share the story from the speech.

C.K Rao visited an old age home to spend his time with the old people.

While entering he saw an old lady sitting at the door with her luggage, with lots of happiness on her face.

He thought she is happy because she must be going to her child's place.

In the evening after spending time with the old age people, he decided to go back. While leaving he find same old lady 0n the same place where he saw her in the morning.

He asked the caretaker of old age home: Why that old lady is sitting there since morning and what happened to her?

Caretaker: Sir, she didn't have children until the age of 40. She prayed to all the Gods and Goddesses. She did everything she could do for her children. At the 40's final, she was blessed with a baby boy.

They both (she and her husband) showed utmost care towards their only child. Later the boy became a rich person.

Suddenly her husband died due to incurable disease and her son thought that her mom is no more needed to him.

One day her son visited this old age home and told: My mom will come here and will tell her name, You just join her in this old age home. As I am registering her name here.

After a couple of hours and so the son came with her mother in a car and told her that: Mom this is like a temple, many people are there. You just go inside and give all these fruits and spend some time with them, I will return soon.

She came inside and gave all the fruits to the people. People in the old age home thought that as part of joining this old age home she was giving fruits to all. Then I showed her, her room and bed.
She was extremely shocked at that moment and asked: why you are showing bed to me?

Caretaker: Your son registered you here.

Hearing this she was shocked and fell off to the ground, she cried till late night and then she falls asleep.

Daily, she wakes up in the morning, gets ready, took her luggage and sits in front of the gate. She waits until evening for the son to take her from this old age home. But this never happened, she starts crying and harms herself. This made her mentally ill.

By seeing her critical situation I tried to call her son, but that heartless son had left the registration form with a fake address and fake contact number.

When someone in this old age home talk bad about her son or call by bad names, then she yells at them and starts beating them. 
This is the kind of love she had towards her son. But her son betrayed her and left her alone in a horrible condition of senselessness.

Dear friends always remember this life is hot sun and your parents are the soothing shades. Love them! Respect them! They are our privilege!

तुम चले जाओगे तो सोचेंग े, तुम चले जाओगे तो सोचेंगे हमने क्या खोया हमने क्या पाया, ज़िंदगी धूप तुम घना साया- तुमको देखा तो ये ख़याल आया!
