Time has come to introspect. A
simple question for you, see if you can answer this.
Did they bring you up to see this day?
Tons of questions might be striking
your mind. Who are those addressed in the above question? Which day? Who saw
it?
Surely you will get the answers. But
let’s first peep into an incident I came across.
On this New Year day, we had visited
a special place. People over there were very kind. One was a person who could
play the mouth organ, believe me; it was very pleasant to listen. He made us
feel awesome with his songs. Even there was a lady with a heart-throbbing
voice. She stole our hearts with her voice. Along with these, there was a lady
with a highly patriotic heart. She was fond of telling stories related to
Maharashtra freedom struggle of 1960. Along with these, there were many such
people who were showering their blessings up on our group of friends. The
smiles on their faces due to us were wonderful to watch.
Yes, the place we had visited was an
Old age home. There were around 24 aged people living their lives without their
family. Even the smiles on their faces could not hide the loneliness in their
eyes. Their hearts were full of feelings to express, blessings to shower up on
and experiences to share. However, they did not have any person to do all above
things. I still remember, the voice of lady described earlier. Her expressions
showed that she might have sung many lullabies to make her children sleep. But
what about today’s situation, when she needs someone to appreciate her
trembling voice, listen to her? Parents
do all things for their children expecting only the progress of their children.
But what happens to same children when it comes to them?
I hope now you might have got the
answers to the above questions. But the real question remains intact,
Did they bring you up to see this day?
If you really can’t answer this,
think twice about their contribution in your life.
