My Biggest Strength And my Most Feared Weakness..! |
Experiences always teach you something or the other. My roomie's grandma and brother had visited us few days back. I could see how much she loved Milli and Mikku (Milli's Brother), She was much similar to my grandma, I really wanted to sit next to her, talk to her and listen to her stories, thoughts and perceptions. I really wanted to do it.. This does not make me some "Adarsh Ladki" or someone portraying to be good for making a good impression on someone, She is a grandma, a lady with a 90 years of experiences. Your heart and mind would automatically not let you to leave her alone.
I sat with her alone for almost 2 hours and ignoring that I had to go in sometime to my friends who have been waiting for me, we spoke a lot about how her family is , how her son-in- law is and how much she loves her family.
One most important thing I loved about her was she said, "my son-in-law is nothing but my son". I live with him, if he has given me so much love, respect and everything a mother deserves then why should I not talk to him freely like I would with my own son. He keeps me very happy and is always concerned about my food , my health like he would for his own mother.
It took me back to my grandma's story. Yeah her son-in-law of-course keeps her happy and is always concerned about her health but my grandma always has a boundary with him and will always try to hide, keep her pallu on her head, if eating something, she would probably stop eating and chewing also.She would get up from where she is sitting sometimes. I have asked her "n" number of times why do you do this?
She says "How much ever he takes care for me, we have always had respect for our son-in-laws and i would cross question her,
"why?"
"If it would have been your son, he would have taken care of you the same way as your son-in-law, right?"
And she would reply "Yes" I would again question,
"Then why cant you just treat your so-in-law like your son? "
She says "I do consider him as a son, but someone who has taken my daughters responsibility and given her a good lovable family and etc etc.... but still...we have followed this tradition for a long time, we would see how our mothers behaved with our husbands and this is a part of my nature, well your generation would trend up and be a cooler mother and father- in- laws."
And started giggling off....
I wish I could just keep her happy always, Am probably her favourite. Well my brother is a bit jealous of the fact that "DIDI! You Are Everyone's Favourite na huh!" Gawd I did not do anything perpetually! I feel for them. I love them, I do not want any of guardian being hurt.
This is not just for my grandmother, I would feel this for all those grandparents, whose kids have no time for them neither do their grandchildren, just to sit for an hour and listen to them, talk to them and ask them how have they been..This is what real humans are made up of... CHELS (Care, Honest Soul, Emotions,Love and Strength).
An important note for generations 80 onward:
80s-90s : Most of you would have been married by now, and many of you would have had problems with your parents or in-laws for some or the other reason, trust me you really need to sort everything out and start loving them, caring for them as they did even if they had to sacrifice a little bit of their comfort! Ah...! Am aware, you guys work in some big shot private companies or some high payable jobs and your boss wont let you take off!
"You are not someone's slave! You can earn money whenever you want and in today's world, I don't think this would be difficult , there are n number of things already coming up, Initially we used to some 1 in thousands with the genius mind and invent or discover something new.. 1 in some 100s big business man and now every nook and corner of the street has become smarter, some one is coming up a new app for online shopping and some taking loans and starting up their own business. As rightly said, with advancements in technology, increases the laziness of man and with laziness of man- demand for more highly technologically advanced things rise and then come up a group of common thinkers work on it, invest money, time and space and launch it into the market expecting returns for their investment and guess what.. People hence prove that they still want technological advancements, they still want to get all comfort even if they just had to sleep and remaining everything would happen automatically.
This chain of demand and supply will never stop, that is for sure, unless the entire planet is blown away.Well, the entire motto of this was we are employees, understand with this perspective, you are capable enough that your company has hired you to do their work, So just be at a place, who would respect your work not treat you as a slave...! This way you might get some time to spend with you mom, dad, grandparents or sibling, if you are living away, this would give you some time to talk to them, they do not expect and hours of gossip with you, they just expect to see that how much do you care for them, love them or remember them."
Most of our parents have also become technologically advanced, trying to pace up with trend, today's advancements, they do not want to be left aloof staying backward when their kids demand for phone or anything advanced as per today's trend. Am also sure that most of our parents have also become so outgoing that they would not even care for their houses thinking at the back of their minds "Mom is there at home, why should i worry and your grand ma will be taking care of you day and night, you grow up seeing the trend and daily activities of your parents and your lifestyle goes same on the track of your parents wondering, ''Grandma is there na, she'll take care of the house " She is not a care taker, she is not habitual to stay alone! She needs her kids or her grandchildren or someone to just spend some time with her. They do not demand much!
Let us image our situation "How would you feel when your entire group is trending with something and you not aware of it or not able to pick it up at all... You would feel left alone, Aloof, Sad and just hoping, I wish I could find someone who could just be of my level and make me understand this, so that I could either pace up or just be happy that I have got a company." Put yourself in their shoes , Everything would be crystal clear.
Your kids might totally forget the value of grandparents, their stories, their company and their leanings. Stop ill- treating you parents and grandparents, love them , spend some time with them.. You would love it after years when you will have your kids come back to you and talk to you once i a while, if you had been there.
Smart Tip: We have totally crushed away the beauty and purity of the world, trying to make advancements and developments... Nature is totally Furious Dude...! You Gotta do something for sometime for your loved ones for who knows what calamity occurs where...!
