Old age home running commercial centres go on air selling their ware uninhibitedly.
An aged super senior client, a lady used to visit our office for her tax return compliances. She was very religious, pious and philanthropic. When she went on banking work, visiting, touring to Temples - mostly to Tiruchendur - and visiting us, she regularly hired one cab. Cab driver was very helpful. Though she had children - one son an IITian and a daughter well settled in US.
The super senior client never visited her children, children to mom are always children regardless of their age. The son and daughter themselves are senior citizens.
Suddenly one day she came asking my father in law to help her accompany to Ramakrishna Math. He did. She drew out a big cheque favouring the Math. Whenever she visited our office, my father in law persuaded her to visit children and stay with them. She quietly would smile and from it we can't gather what she was thinking.
A week later, to the shock of my better half, the senior client asked my wife take her to a few old age homes.
On first visit to one particular home, the blatantly told the lady she had to wait and she would be informed about when vacancy arose. Vacancy because of some inmate passing away.
Then she decided not to visit old age homes at all.
After her passing away, her children still visit us. So nice like the super senior Mother. We still couldn't see a reason why the super senior client was sticking her gun to live all alone.
With world going nucleus families, joint family system slowly fading away, fancy for single child, wedlocks skidding, wish, dream, pray a renaissance of all good things olden, golden time,
- time for love, peace, affinity - come about.
