The losing love for parents

Parents brought us into this world and helped us grow into adults financially, emotionally, socially in this vast cruel world where 800,000 children are reported missing ( kidnapped ) annually in U.S. In such a world where children trafficking is so common, you are lucky to have been saved by those two individuals. We hardly realize the wrong in the world  being done while growing up because our parents don't want us to see that world and get demotivated. So many children die of malnutrition, little girls are kidnapped for prostitution and what not. And yet we forget to thank our parents for nurturing us from cradle to middle ages. 
Where you had been without your parents, you may never want to know. So many orphans die mysteriously in orphanages often being committed to sexual abuses at a young age. And yet we fail to recognize the presence of our parents in our lives. 
So many people put their parents in old age homes because they are just waste of money. If you can't spend money on your parents remember they don't have money because they spent it all on your education, greedy demands, toys etc. If they just had said no to you how would you feel. If they hadn't spent money on your education how would you be able to get a job. 



Education is so costly these days and most of the parents' income is spent on it. 
We never realize the efforts of our parents to keep us happy and satisfied. 
The Parents are the only good in this bad world. Every parent wants to work for their children. Parents are semi-gods. Pray to them, worship them. Going to temples or churches is no good if you don't respect your parents. 
Yet we are seeing today the increasing trend of putting old parents in old age homes citing so many reasons. The biggest reason which they do not speak is they are devoid of love for their parents that they once had. All that love that the little child had for his parent is gone. 
What is the reason behind that ? The real question is where has that love went.
This is happening in the new societies all over the world that we so proudly boast of, The Modern World. In old societies this never happened, it still doesn't happen in undeveloped countries and old villages that haven't seen the modern world yet. If treating your parents like nobody is called modern than the people who are old and traditional are much better. 
This trend needs to be stopped as soon as possible if we want our new societies to be happily efficient and another reason being that we don't want our children to send us into old age homes away from our real homes, real families and beautiful grandchildren. Stripping our parents of that love is so cruel and mean and Karma does take its toll on day that we must remember. They don't need to hold the hands of a nurse in their last days, it's your hand they want to touch for the last time, the hands they touched for the first time they saw you.

The growing threat to Women in Indian Society

After Nirbhaya incide nt occurred, the whole nation was in angst and fire, with numerous candle marches taking place all over the country in almost every town and city across the length and breadth of India. It was seen as a big event na tionally as well as internationally. The western media published it with same attentiveness as Indian media. The protests were rather big as they came as a part of series after Anna movement in which all country was pushed into a non violent revolution cum agitation lead by Gandhian Anna Hazare.  The flames hadn't been quenched and they were ignited after the Nirbhaya Rape Incident again. A girl in Delhi named Nirbhaya was gang raped in a moving transport bus by the driver conductor and their accomplices. Not only was she raped, but she was left to die naked in dirty sewer naked along with her male companion who was beaten but escaped death. She on the other side couldn't survive much even after Sonia Gandhi personally flew her to Singapore H...

Are we still Animals ?

We humans are social animals. We have been reading this since we were small and confused. I would think how can we be animals ? That was really not digest-able at that time. I know we are humans from my childhood but that was also taught i.e. the name Human or homo sapiens. Who actually labelled us with all these names ? Calling animal An Animal seems perfectly comfortable but calling ourselves Animals !! That's seems quite disturbing. I remember since my childhood, I have been seeing these little and big creatures all around us in the nature but I was always taught to be alert as they could attack you but know what . No animal ever attacked me. We the Humans, create such a big thing out of our security that we consider animals as a threat to our existence and not as fellow partners who, like us, eat food, sleep and continue to reproduce their own species but the only difference between them and us is the ability to Think Creatively. We can Create big structures, we can cr...

Tending towards Nature

When I think of this world, the first thing that comes into my mind is " why am I here ? " , " what am I supposed to do here ? " . I always think, " why am I in a form of matter ? " I could also be born in the form of a non living thing. When I see the wind flowing without any final destination, I dream I could also flow like it from one place to another. What Is GOD in Reality ?? Does he ever reside in reality or he resides somewhere else far from matter and reality. One more possible thing is - he is constituting all of us.                We all are living in a world made up of our own . Millions and millions of years ago, our ancestors, Apes used to live in co-ordination with nature, following rules of nature, living for three main TRUTHS- Eat, Sleep, Sex. These three things are the realities of nature. We should be living in nature, with nature. But truth is we got separated from nature a long time ago. When we started destroying for...
