At times when we see the plight of the older people in the old-age homes, our eyes just fill with tears. Tears full of pain and parting with your loved ones. At these times, one starts having doubts on the value of relationships.
On the other hand, when our younger generation, which is the future of this country, pours out their innocent and pure heart for the elderly, one feels a sense of satisfaction. This beautiful feeling was experienced by me on my visit to the Vardan Old-Age Home with my students of the Interact Club of our School. Sometimes you become speechless seeing the situation in which the elderly are suffering. Their eyes which are waiting for their children for bestowing love and affection upon them.
The precious time spent with them by the group of Interacts Varnika, Mansi, Anoushka, Harleen, Manya, Anusha and Toshank was a humane effort by our 'New India'. The students interacted with them and spread happiness and smiles on the faces of the elders in their silver years. It was a beautiful soulful experience. We rarely realise in time that Life in fact is really too short. So, let us value everything. Let us be more kind hearted human beings.
Let us value each other's company and existence. We should always be thankful and grateful to the Almighty for all what we have. My this visit revealed to me the caring and the loving side of our students. It looks for sure that our country's value-system shall revive again and our backbone shall be so strong that every family shall be headed by the elderly of the house. The future then, would not have 'Old-Age Homes, but 'Own Homes'.
