Yesterday one of my friends told me about a dadiji who lives near her house....that dadiji lives with her son and his family..she has three grand daughters and two grandsons anybody would think her to be a lucky old lady with a good nice family....but she is not.....her grandchildren do not respect or even talk to her nicely...her daughter in law has nothing to do with her...and her own son just watches all this and does nothing.....all this left me thinking about all the other old people just like that dadiji....and i thought...even if a stranger comes to our house we offer him a glass of water and talk to him nicely and we don't have two words of love for those people who created us...its because of them that we exist....they give away everything for their children...their children are world for them...and these children don't have words of comfort ,respect and love for them not even to repay the love they gave them (not that we can ever repay our parents but still..) ...i don't understand why daughters in law forget that they too have parents and if anybody treated their parents like that would they like it???? In laws are your parents after marriage and if they something then their intention is always the good of family and they are more experienced so what they say is right....our own parents also scold us at times then why can't in laws they are also our parents and they want us to improve to be better person that's why they tell us things....and even if people can't remember this thing then atleast they can remember that they are also going to get old one day...and then their children will do the same to them because that's what they are teaching their children indirectly....old people are a blessing to us they have experience of a lifetime to share with us...and may be this may sound bookish or something but still the family who does not respect their elders never prosper.....if we keep just these simple things in mind i am sure every house will be a happy family because then all the elders will be happy.........so please do keep these things in mind...........
