Your parents need care, not money
Recently it happened
An old man crossing the main road at the busiest part of the day and he was about to run over by a speeding bike. After leading him safely to the edge of the road, i came to know that he was a retired government officer living with his old and sickly wife. He had to come to the market to buy milk and bread as his servant failed to turn up for work that day.
He made it absolutely clear that "money is not every thing in life". The tear was coming out from his eye, his voice was choked with emotion and frustration. He has everything, his son who is a IT professional send more money regularly; but no use. The old man and his wife are left alone in this world at this age. What they need today is care, concern and help and not money. This story is not about him, but were indetical with those of many other old parents. once upon a time the parents who eagerly spent their everyting to grow his son and daughter and pray to get a better life, now feel what a mistake they made.
If we believe on ROI( return on investment). in this case it is Zero. A father spent his everything to the better settlement of his son, now not getting any return.
Whose fault is this? a man who try to make his son in a better position or the the son who get everyting but forget to return that.
Our police have not started doing social service as they do in the west. so who will take them to hospital in an emergency?
The sudden boom in employment oppertunities, particularly in the IT sector, has caused huge migration of our children in search of jobs, both with in and outside the country. The innocent but anbitious parents never knew that they would be left alone on a bad day with their dear ones totally incapable of hellping them in an emergency.
