Dear friends
Sometime back an old man asked me for a lift. He was 72years old and had gone
to the Bank to collect his senior citizen pension Ithink it is 750 rupees. This
gentleman has three sons working in the gulf .They are doing very well and
married and has families. This old man and his wife are left to fend for
themselves. The only salvation is that they now receive this small pension by
which they can at least live happily. They had a small field which they used to
cultivate but due to the old age they could not but a good neigbour seeing
their difficulty has started cultivating the field and gives them half the
produce with which they cook cunji and eat. The sons come to Goa for holidays
but they do not live with the parents and when they ever think of visiting them
the mother begs money for her survival from the son and they give her one or
two thousand which they store for the raining day. help from the church is
refused as their sons are working in the gulf and are doing very well. This is
the story of life. Albert
