I don't know what's going through your mind after seeing those pics..But I am not able to settle for 2 days with a guilty feeling how people could be...Frankly saying before going there I never took anything serious but that one day brought a lot of change in my thoughts and in my sibblings. Oh..I forgot to mention, Vani( Soul of this great deed), is my lovely sister and i am proud to have her as my sis. Atlast I told that publicly..What to do...that's her wish:). Another person that needs a worth mention here is my elder sister Rajavani , a medical graduate, from whom I have learnt that , how compassionate a person could be.. Sorry guys to keep you boring..but I want you all to know the people behind the scene.. K now let's get into serious discussion...

I thought that all the Old age homes will be maintained free of cost to the old people, but after going there I came to know that they will collect monthly rent from the people who will join their father/mother. Do u think that the old people right there need this? Imagine if they have joined you in a deserted place like this in your childhood (ofcourse paying the rent..In this world nothing is coming for free..even the relations). People will come to know the pain, when they experience the same if their son/daughter will left them like this.

What's the meaning of the word "FAMILY"?Is it your Spouse/hubby and children..what happened to the parents who gave the life to you till there? Can't we look after them and provide a little space along with us..Are they asking you anything more.. Just Think a Second before treating them like aliens.I would request all of you to buy a cake for your Father/Mother birthday and see the happiness in their eyes..it's worth a million..At that age they will expect some love and caring,but nothing more than that..Don't we have time even for that? The love which they show upon us is an unconditional one and right from the bottom of their hearts, Which didn't expect anything in return. Mother's day is coming on May 10th, I expect all of you to plan something special for your Precious Mom.. If you do, I assure that you will be surely happy and that's the day where you will think about yourselves..That's where I started thinking of WE..

The worst thing here is if you donated something to the management directly it's not going into the hands of the old people..My personal suggestion is If you want to do something do it on your own or through a reilable source. Even some of the people are feeling that this is a good business to earn money.I would feel happy if they are providing nice service , after taking the money,but that's not happening there. I am not saying that all the charity homes are like that but most of them are..

Time to say Bye to all of you. Feel free to share your comments..keep Thinking...
