A3 SarabjeetKaur, Founder and Teacher at Education Point.6y Mrs Khanna has two sons. Both the sons are highlyqualified and well settled. Both live in separate bungalows with theirfamilies. Aunty stays with each of them for 15 days. On the 15th day, her daughter in law asks her topack her bag and to get ready to go to her other son’s house. I can see aunty sitting at the gate, waiting for herother son to come and take her to his house. Although she doesn't say anythingbut I can see pain and helplessness on her face. I don't interfere in other’slives but this really hurts me. This is something that I will never do to my in-laws. My father in law is 97 years old and my mother in lawis 90. I really respect them a lot and I believe that it is only due to theirblessings that my children are doing so well. Moral values are not taught tochildren through books, instead we ourselves have to set examples in front ofour children.When my husband comes back home from work at night, the firstthing he does is to touch their feet and take their blessings. I feel so proudto be his wife and mother of his children. Our childrengive us respect because they see us giving respect to our elders. “As you sow,so shall you reap.” Elders only want respect and love from theirchildren. They have done so much for us when they were young, now when theyhave become old and weak, isn’t it our responsibility to become their strength? Through this platform, I would like to requesteveryone, “please take care of your parents.” I don’t know if there is heaven after death or not,but undoubtedly with your love and affection towards them will make your homeno less than a heaven.God bless Q4 What made youupset today?

Give mesome effective, costly one.” Which one you want ? boy asked. “I don't knowthe name kid”, she said. As I was standing next to her I told her the tabletname. Lady said, “Yes yes, give me the tablet what madamsaid.” The boy said in high pitch, in a sarcastic style, “As if you can afford such acostly tablet. It's not in your budget. Leave it and take this one.” The lady sadly looked at my face and I told the boy,“Youshouldn't talk to your customers in this way. It hurts.” He tried to explain and I said, “Give her that tablet on myaccount.” Lady said , “No no, give me the tablet for money Ihave now, I will take some more later.” She gave the money whatever in her hand, took tabletsfrom the boy and gave me a soft look and moved out hurriedly from the medicalstore. Everyone tries to give their best, to their lovedones, even when it's not in their limit and a mother tries beyond everythingfor her kids, but others without knowing their situation decide what can theyafford and what not.
