RAMADHAN KAREEM .. AND OLD AGE HOMES.

Firstly a heartiest  and sincerest Congratulations to all my muslim brothers and sisters..
As the holy month of ramadhan has started and ramadhan is a month marked for clemency, mercy and compassion  I’d request you all to ask for your forgivness and mercy and display that too..  Mostly people get short tempered in ramadhan but this is what we have to do right? Be patient and tolerant  :D

Remember my tame your temperament post  ? :p

They’re linked :D

Anyways, The dream of a man,a common man.. to earn well,to live a long successful life,to get the necessities of life,having a good position in society right? ..

due to the progression in sciences esp medical sciences is really making this imaginable. Not the earn well part but the long life thing. Life expectancy is increasing with a massive population growth. Over population is obviously causing glitches in the society.. but that’s not my topic today..

the main thing which I wanted to write.. which is the real message of  my today’s post is..
reached 25?
throw your parents away !!
yes,this is what happening these days.. as soon as people start earning.. so that they can fulfill the necessities of life and fill up their bellies.. they throw their parents away.. the concept of old age houses wasn’t that common in east as staying with parents was always considered an honor and opportunity to pay back the kindness and benevolence of your parents they always showed, The concept of old age homes had always been a western thing as the two generations usually don’t like living under the same roof ..   

But things have changed now,system is revolutionizing..  things which were considered discreditable and dishonorable are now done with proud and honour..

Due to busy lives or social issurs ,the parents after a certaint tenure of negligence are thrown to place

called OLD AGE HOME..

Ofourse, the basic necessities of routine living are provided there,shelter food and clothing infact all the nesesities are well looked after but the care and much needed love is missing.. who in the world can be as satisfying and soothing as your own children?

My mother  when studying psychology went to an old age home and she told me that almost everybody there was waiting for their kids,she says that it was really disturbing and touching to hear their stories.. The stories were almost the same,reasons of being thrown out were mainy some social issues,or some permanent disability which obviously was and is considered a ful fledged liability on one’s shoulder.. The parents were not ready to believe that their children are enjoying lives without them . Most of them either men or women were left at such places  by giving the hope that they’ll soon be taken back to their respectable houses.

Though, this wait never ends and many die being a victim of depression. Loneliness amd sloitude..
anxiety and frustrations are rising in such places and there is nothing authorities can do about it.
No matter how well they are looked after in these homes, a single visit to an old age home brings depression to the onlooker as, no one seems to be happy there ..

I am planning to visit an old age home if possible.. as im really curious to know why and how this can happen.. and what is the state of mind of parents of such unlucky children who can’t even look after their parents when they are not strong enough to take care of themselves.

We get what we do. The next generation will definitely do the same with us If we don’t stop this right here .

this is a topic about which i can write my hands off.. so,ill just end up by sharing this picture..

Love !
