What do parents need from you??

I want to share an incident with all of you. 

It was first Sunday after my exams. Because of exams my mind was blocked. I needed some refreshment, so I decided to go to my uncle’s place. It was April. I decided to go there by train. At right time I reached at railway station. Too much crowd. Train came and I got into the train. I found a seat and settled there. An old couple was sitting next to me. Train started. I was listening music and enjoying the natural scenes from the window. Suddenly my mother called me. I was disturbed because of the loud volume of mobile as I put on the headsets. I picked up the phone. My tone was so rude as my mother was irritating me by useless talks and I didn’t like that shits. When I was done, the old man was staring at me with anger like he wanted to slap me. But he controlled on his emotion and asked me. “You always treat your mother like this? ” After taking a long breath, he continued,” I don’t know what is wrong happened with today’s generation? Their mother who gave birth to him, always fulfilled all their wishes, sacrifice her life to make your future, but what they did to her?? They can’t even talk to her politely.” There were tears in his eyes.

I was surprised to see that. Why was he being so emotional just because of my rude tone to my mother? I couldn’t understand the matter. Finally I asked him whatever was running in my mind. After a long silence, he started, “My son who lives in Udaipur with his wife. From childhood we always take care of all his wishes. Whatever he wanted to have, we brought those things to him. For making his future, we ruined our life. For his studies, we took loan. We paid the installments of loan with many difficulties. Now when we need him in our old age, he is not allowing us to live with him. Now his wife became his priority than his parents.” He couldn’t speak further. Then old lady said, “I don’t remember the day exactly when he called me and talked to me with love. Now he said that we spoiled their married life. Their lives became hell because of us.”

Respect your parents..... they need you

She said,” In this age, where do we go? Now whose responsibility are we? The only thing I want to tell you that your parents are not a thing like use and throw. Respect them and be with them till their last breath.”

I was speechless with tears in eyes and shame on face. I called my mother immediately and apologize for my behavior and told her that I love her very much.

Then I felt much better, but lots of questions rose in my mind. What we children do with our parents? When will we understand that if parents treat us like their responsibility in our childhood, then it’s our duty to take responsibility of our parents in their old age?  This is very small thing to understand, but we made it too difficult.
