Old age and today
Most of the aged parents between the age of 60-80 yrs approx. are neglected today very much. The main cause may not be the upbringing but the generation of their kids who moved out of India for better career opportunities and IT. And there start their kids struggle with life, work and lifestyle, that sometimes even if the children don’t want but their parents are somehow neglected.
Most of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s kids are settled abroad and there is an increment in brain drain. Although these are the generation who bring back in the foreign currency.
There are cases where the parents are called abroad if there is a possibility. Yet there are some cases that parents are neglected. Parents are someone who should be taken care like babies when they are old. This can be done just the way they did to us when we were small.
Parents are indeed the almighty for us and they must be respected and taken care of when they are old.
Aging is yours with the wisdom you gave us;
Teaching is yours with the learnings you gave us-
Let us give back to our dear parents;
That love and care they gave us –
-Promila Devi Sutharsan Huidrom
