Remember those touching lines from the Song -
“… Dharti pe roop ma-baap ka us vidhata ki pehchaan hai”?
Really, Mother and Father on earth are the form of that Heavenly spirit. It is only when we become parents that we understand their worth.
When Parents Grow Old
Nothing prepares kids for the time their parents grow old; nothing is as devastating as that. They react to it as though the parent has betrayed them. My personal take on the subject is rather like Anthony Powell’s who said “Growing old’s like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed.”
Of Scolding And Punishing And Tears – Do You?
My little 5-year-old is quite an emotional one.

Each time she visited me in boarding school, apart from reaching out with a hug, she had the following things to say to me:
Living Out Of A Suitcase
