2. Visit to an Old Age House
May 15, 2019
Baroda
We visited an old age house in my city last week. Nobody, not even science can explain the love, bonding and affection between a mother and child.
Every mother wants her children happy. But when she finds that she is a load in her children’s life. She wants her children to have the best that she could afford.
To obtain this she works hard for most of her life. Sometimes she goes hungry to feed her children. When her children have grown up she wants them to spend some of their free time with her.
But when she is pushed into an old age home, she feels very sad. She tries her best to adjust to the surrounding, talk to the people who are strange and unknown to her.
When I visit an old age home, I got to know being old is not easy. I could actually see the pain and loneliness in each person’s eye.
Our classes were divided groups of ten. Each group was accompanied by a warden.
We were taken to each ward which was having of three to four beds. We were not taken to some wards because there were mentally retarded people. We had taken some daily used items
like worn clothes. bed sheets ,bedspreads, fruits snacks etc. They were very happy talking to us. There was a person who could draw very well.
We asked her how she landed up there. She told us such a shocking story.
I want to share my views. She was from a very well bred family. She had a son on whom she had a lot of hopes. But he took all her jewellery, money and property one crore.
He deserted her so she came to the old age home. This was a very shocking story. She told that she had never expected this from her most beloved son. Really, we felt that the old age
home is a taboo on the civilized society. We took oath that we will take care of our parents in future.
Difficult words : Taboo – કલંક /અભિશાપ; Deserted – ત્યજી દીધેલું; Take oath – સોગંધ લેવા
