A MOTHER.............
Hello everyone I am Sandeep i m doing my MBA in ICFAI Chennai.
This is about an old lady in my neighbourhood…her name is kamala and we all call her kamalamma. she has a son named Suresh. This lady is in her seventies. One day suddenly while she was in the kitchen she fell onto the floor and from then she could never stand on her legs. She had a paralysis attack. We all advised her to go to a doctor before everthing stops functioning but whenever she asks her son he would say “repu veldam amma” (we will go tomorrow) . one day he couldn’t see her suffering and he himself came to her said “ pada amma doctor deggariki veldam” (lets go to the doctor ma) . They went there..there were many buildings and many old people. Suresh helped her onto the waiting bench and he told her he had some work and would come back soon. She said okay and waited there for her son. She counting every second. She kept looking at the watch every minute. After sometime the clock struck 2, then later 3, then 4. now kamalamma got worried about her son, stopped a nurse passing by and told her “ na koduku ipude vastha ani velladu inka raaledu em ayindo emo oka sari kannuko amma” (my son left me here saying he would be back soon but its been long since he went please find out if he is safe) then the nurse replied “ ne koduku inka raadu amma idhi old age home”( your wont come back, this is an old age home) . Listening this kamalamma broke into tears but there is no one to wipe them…
Parents old or young are our parents only..its our responsibility to take care of them..its they who gave us life and everything that we have. We should not leave them like this when they need us..when they need our love and care.
COME LETS WORK TOGETHER FOR HUMANITY.
