1990 – I was 19 years old living with my parents, two sisters and grandfather in New Delhi. We were an average middle class family with sufficient income to lead a respectable life, but without the cushion of luxury. We shared a three bedroom house: one room was occupied by my parents, the second room by my sisters and the third room I shared with my grandfather. At that time, my grandfather was 75years old and I was studying towards a C.A

Fantastic Vijay , I'm only thinking how proud your parents would be knowing your feelings for them. I had to call mine to tell them how much I love them. I always have . It's a great feel to know your child needs your finger as much as the you want his... till the end . In the race of life we tend to forget the small gestures which actually contributes to our happiness that no money can buy. Eye opener , Inspiring ... Keep going . You made my day. |
Sir, Uffffffffffff !!!! a long breath ! Worth article i had come across ! just great ! am touched sir. |
dear brother,i m weaping.U r luky that u have PARENTS,but i m not luky now............Artikl is fantastik |
Its said "Old age is the second childhood". When our parents grow old, they start behaving like kids, not because their mind returns to immaturity, because they need the same care and affection that a small child needs. Very very nice and inspiring article. |
Dear Vijay: Raj has been harping ever since you published this blog. Finally, I read it, it was a hair-raising experience. Thankyou! My mom's words constantly ring in my head - when you'd become parents. |
DEAR CHACHU Itz beautiful written , each n every word of this article is a story itself, m really speechless just a thought comin out of my mind that we never know the love our parents for us till we have become parents and if u deeply look into the palm of your hand ,you will see your parents and all genrations of your ancestors.all of them are alive in this moment.each is present in your body,cz you are the continution of each of these people.our experience teaches us that virtue and honesty are in themselves great rewards.weather we be virtuous and honest in our estimation of the value of those qualities. keep going ! gud luck , awaiting for next article......sometime we cnt xpress in vocal what we can xpress in words..... Regards Deepika khurana |

Very well said This is the reality of all of us We do understand value of Relationship when we get in to same situation. Keep writing |
words for this article would be somewhat i cannot explain, i really can't express them in words for what i feel after reading this thing. shocked, stunned, heartless i feel. thanks for this lovely article, God bless. |
beautifully written. strikes a cord in one's heart.... hope we all realize our duties towards our parents & fulfill them ,not as a problem but out of care & love!!! |
Dear Mr Vijay, Nicely narrated and thought provoking words. In Tamil, close to 2000 yrs ago - Poetess Avvaiyaar has sung " Annaiyum Pithaavum Munnarri Theivam" - Mother and Father are the first GODs made known to a person. Even we in our Tamil Nadu villages name our grand children with their grand parents name only. The grand children has the RIGHTS ON wealth / assets of their grand father. Grand Children are termed as - "Peyarar" (Paerargal) meaning - those who have come to establish the good deeds of their grand parents. They would take their grand parents name to greater heights is the subject referred above. Alakan |
Vijay ji, Very very nice article. Reminds of my mother who is sick for so many years...and that if she would have been in good health today she would have been a SUPER grandmother for my child..... Anyways all the best !!!!!! |
The feelings for all of us are the same what you have but looking at the life style at present everyone tends to forget it. But sometimes even when you do not have any problem and life at home is going fine, the grandparents are not adjusting to the change of what time is asking for. This might be there when they lft alone (Their partner left for Heaven). There all what you think is going fine is actually not. It is grandparents / parents responcibility as well to change what time is asking for not complete but little bit. In the end we should not leave our parents but make them understand as well what time requires for the changes |
ITS A good article and all person should think the same to give respect to their parents. |
iIts very nice artical to read.. but now a days our moral valus has gone down and no one cares about the parents. In metros where both husband & wife are working they are treating them as care taker or the house & children not more that. |
In Gurwani there is a verse that says: "Tis Ko Sev Jin Too Kiya; Tise Aaraadh Jin Jiyo Diya" meaning: Serve those (mother and father) whose creation you are Worship the One that gave you "Life" (Prana /Soul) To serve one's parents or elderly in a family should only be a cherishable duty and blessing. |
It is a nice article. But nowadays old values are getting lost. Some respect old values, majority do not. So grandfathers be ready for any eventuality. |
It is old saying proverb that everyone has to pay back for his deeds, some realise it and some dont. Those who realise it life is heaven for them and those who don't they blame God for everything. |
That's why GOD has made this world round. We have to go back to the same place where we start. |
It's a lovely article. I have been born and brought up in a joint family. I love my grandparents. Being brought up by my grandparents has been an enriching experience. Now a days there is an erosion of joint families. Kids are brought up by maids and therefore they do not have a very sound judgment of right and wrong. |
