This Old Lady

 I was really having fun this evening and thought of writing about an event happened today. There is a small home in my neighborhood where an old lady lives. I only saw her few times and wondered how she lived alone and cooked for herself because nobody lives with her I haven't seen her family members as well. Some how I got to know that she gets pension and with that she fulfills her necessities. But today when I saw her she has grown more old to a point where her eye sight was very weak. She called me today and asked I she was holding 20 rupees or 100 rupees in her hand, I confirmed saying that it was 20. Then she asked me to get a milk packet. I took the money and brought her one. After coming home I have realized that how difficult it would be for that lady to do her daily work. Thankfully there is a guy next to our house who helps her doing and buying things. I thought how many of us have time doing such things. Honestly I felt good helping her and decided to continue helping her. I wonder how many of you have seen such things around you and took some initiative. Or do you have any person around who does these things.

Sometimes yes but mostly no. In a different scenario when a father takes care of the child and the mother works, the society treats that man unworthy or lazy as if taking care of a child is easy. There are very less men in the society who sacrifice their job for his children and their are some who are scared of doing such thing. And their are few more who consider this as non masculinity.  I believe whether a father or a mother anyone of them taking care of a child is totally their individual cho...

"WORKING OF BOTH PARENTS LEADS TO BAD RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR CHILD??"

 Today when I had a discussion with my lecturer about a topic where single parent working is enough or both the parents working is important. In this context I believe that when both the parents work they can generate more income and provide best to their child. But, there also comes a question of who will be taking care of the child? According to our lecturers experience when both the parents work they don't get much time to spend with their children and this might also lead to lack of emotional bond with the parents even though the parents provide everything to their child, the time that the parents spend is more important. But, I have also seen parents who are working at the same time they have the best relationship with their children. I understand that a child needs at most attention of his/her parent specially while they grow but, is it compulsory for one of the parent to sacrifice his/her job? I believe that weather both the parents are working or a single parents its about ...
