- " I have faced a situation couple of weeks ago in Hyderabad when I was travelling to my work place from my home. It takes about two hours to reach my work place. One day I boarded a Metro Bus which is overcrowded and i could not find a place to sit. Feeling restless and remembering the people who misbehave with woman in bus was desperate to find a seat to relax and travel. Luckily, after ten minutes I found a ladies' seat to occupy. I thanked God and occupied it. Suddenly, a man whom I thought was about 65years old sat beside me. I was a bit uncomfortable. In fact, was scared. I requested him to go back and occupy another vacant seat. He saw me from his spectacles raising his eyebrow, and questioned me in English with a smile "why do you want me to go back and sit? are you not comfortable me sitting beside you?" and he continued his conversation not giving me an opportunity to speak saying " I have a grand daughter of your age!" He asked about me and my family. I then felt that he is a kind person, He said that he was 75 years old and was a student of prestigious Little Flower High School and worked as a CA in HYD. He lived a good life with his dear wife and children. He educated his children and sent them abroad according to their wish. His children and grandchildren never returned to India to see him. He said he flew abroad to see his children but the cold response he got from them made him come back to India. He was in tears saying my wife was Lucky, She passed away 15 years back leaving me in pain. No person should live as a single without the husband or wife, they are support to each other when kids do not look after them properly. my younger son is good and wants me to live with his family abroad, but my daughter in law is not cooperative about it. Though my eldest daughter in law is good to keep me with them, my eldest son is not as he always calculates everything, My grand children are busy with their friends, they never come to me and atleast speak a few words. I felt there's no point of me living with them and be in an unconfortable state sides. a burden and cause uncomfortable situation to them. I, therefore, returned to India, took a house for rent , meeting my expenses and running my life with my monthly pensions. Now am facing the consequences of sending my children abroad. Never ever send your kids to abroad. I am now going to bank regularly to show up to say that am still alive and need my pension. I am praying to God to please make my way to reach my wife who is near you as soon as possible. He said that he talked heart-fully with some unknown after years and blessed me that am a girl with open heart with a smile and got down at his stop saying It was nice talking to you, thanks for your company". I Got tears and felt it a fortune to meet a person like him. Who gave everything to his children but left with nothing. My question is why do their own children leave their parents all alone? How could a person forget his parents who sacrifice their whole life to satisfy them? who bore all their nonsense with joy? Dear sons, daughters, son in laws and daughter in laws , Please don't forget your parents who sacrificed everything for you, though they earned and saved something or not, though they are good to you or not, be good to them. One day you will become old and you might face the same situation or worse than that.
