Awful loneliness

-

Few days ago, I saw a news on t.v.about Asha Sahani. She was living at Lokhandwala in Mumbai alone. Her son Rituraj  is working in America in IT field. It means economically it is very sound family. For one and half year, the son didn't contact her. After this one and half year, when he returned to his mother's home, he found his mother's skeleton, lying on bed in her bedroom. No one knows when she died. What a shocking news! Death in such loneliness! Very horrible!

For so many days no one in this world noticed her death!                                                                                               

Such news compels us to think upon such progress, which makes us only machine, without feelings, love, attachments. There can be many elements responsible in this case, but this is true that such example is beyond our imagination. In fact just living under the same roof with family members is also not sufficient because many times it so happens that if there is no love among the family members, they can't understand  each other’s feelings nor the intensity of another’s sorrows. So in society there are so many families in which apparently all is well but there are so many injuries and hurt in everyone’s mind.                                                                                                                            

On such background, I know two examples which show that yet there are some hopes. I know a family in which mother became patient of diabetes and all family members left drinking tea, because the mother liked tea and the family didn’t want her to get tempted. In another example, nowadays, son and daughter-in-law in many families shift to a city for their child’s better education leaving their old parents back in village. But I know a son in a village,  who shifted to city with his children, wife and his widow mother. So let us hope that in every family there will be such sons.

TRIBUTE---(5)

  After my graduation, there was a gap of ten years in my education. During these ten years, I got married and I wanted to settle in my in-laws, moreover after my marriage, I had two issues. So, it was necessary for me, to give full time for my family. Yet, without any planning or not with any purpose, however,I started social work. In this new field, there was one ideal person--Dalal Madam. Infact, I entered in social work only because of this Dalal Madam. She always guided me and always helped me in my social work. We found a private primary school, as well as, we worked together in our Mahila-Mandal for many years. So, in my life, Dalal Madam became a Guru, guide as well as my close friend also.      After this gap of ten years, we, means I and my husband decided for my further education. I wanted to become a lawyer, my husband also liked it, he encouraged me,yet I had no confidence about my capacity. So I was hesitating and avoiding to take admission in law college. At that ti

SUCCESS MANTRAS--(2)

For success, there can't be only a single mantra, but when  there is mixture of many success mantras in proper proportion, that person can be a successful person.  Every day, we listen and see many examples of adulteration in market and so we don't trust easily any company or any businessman. So for them means for the company and the businessman, it's very important and difficult to achieve the trust of consumers. At the same time, it is also true that to achieve the trust, only integrity is the best remedy. There is no other option for it. When we see that many families are very successful in their family business from more than hundred years,the key of their success is this integrity.         Not only in business field, but in every field of our life, this integrity is the key of success. Even though, we  are doing service in private field or in government sector , our promotion depends upon our integrity towards our duty. I know that in these days of partiality or d

JAGO GRAHAK JAGO

Today is “Jagtik Grahak Din”. So all consumers, wish you that in coming year , not a single seller should deceive you. Now a day, govt. is trying to aware the consumers by the advertisement” Jago Grahak Jago”. But there is a doubt in my mind whether the consumer is really slept? Or is he pretending to be slept?Because this consumer when goes to market to buy coriander or a coconut, he enquires the price at 3 - 4 vendors,shakes the coconut 3 - 4 times before purchasing and warns the vendor that he will replace the coconut if it will not be good after breaking open. In newspaper, many times there is a news that a cheater, pretending to polish gold jewellery, deceived someone. Again many times, there is news in newspaper about various bogus schemes. In such bogus schemes, there are very attractive lures promised by the seller. Even a man of common sense, will understand that in this world, there can't be a single business -man,who will be running his shop for loss. Yet, every day ,
