Friends
The month of June has been full of action so far. Kids are here for summer vacation. Now Nikita gone back to Bangalore and Hitisha is getting ready for her cruise to Pune. Also some close relatives are here. This month also witnessed the recession in business/share market and hence the sentiments are down and depressed in business and political circles. thus this has created mix feeling of good and bad.
Attachment is a very sensitive part of our life. Once the kids become closest part of the family, the parting of them gives lot of pain. It is not easy to face this situation both for the parents and kids. When we come to that stage now, we get to feel the situation our parents faced during our days of leaving them. It is more painful when we think of their financial resources, technological situations and facilities available in those days. They could not reach to us as fast as we can. The letters through Indian Post Office was the only way of communicating and it used to take about a week to complete the cycle of two way communication. Still they were patient enough and least tense than we are in present days. They used to be more involved socially than us and had never allowed the money and business status to over power them. It may be a good case study to understand the mind set of us and our parents.

Hello,
I totally agree with u tht when we were kids we could not communicate with our parents or they could not communicate with us as we do now, due to lack of technologies. Just 2 days back i was sharing all this with my elder son mahek.
When i was in 10th std my younger brother was born. tht day my father was out of station for his work. It was about 10 in the night ,n my mom had to be taken to hospital for delivery. We had to call my uncle to take her to the hospital, as we were alone ..me my mom n my brother, who was 11 yrs old. My dad could only come home after 3 days as we could not contact him.
Same year my dad had bought a bicycle for me for going to school n tution classes, so tht i could save time by not travelling in the bus. My school was almost 20 kms away from my house. Every day going to school , coming back n then again going to tution classes on cycle would almost take away my moms n dads breath. They would always be in tension till i came back home at 8 in the evening from tution classes.
But nowadays just dial n u would come to know about them in few secs.
I remember one more such incident. When i was in 11th std..there were riots near my residence in ahmedabad. It was about 3 in the after noon..i was in school..n my parents could not contact me to stop me from coming home..but luckily they got through the school phone n informed one of my teacher about the riots. My good luck tht one of my school sir was staying little far from my house. He took me to his house under police protection, where there was no effect of riots. Till 7 in the evening i was at his place. After tht, under police protection, i was taken home..n seeing me, my parents bursted into tears.All this time they were not aware of where i was n how i was.
But we should now be thankful to these technologies , which help us in many ways, making our lives much more easier n comfortable.
