Being Single

So is being single a boon or a bane?... Now just a minute let me complete my question, dont be in hurry to answer the question. Being single after 60, is it a boon or a bane? Ya, this time i want to write about being single after you have finished all your so called "duties". I think the toughest part is being single after 60.

When you are young and single its only the desire to be with someone that drives you. That is you need a partner just to be with you through out life and to share everything and sometimes its only the desire to have a partner. Therefore being single in one's youthful days is not a major worry,as he/she has other major other works to do such as education, job, money etc. this list continues.

Now after he has finished all these, he is done with his education and worked for about 30 years and earned a lot of money, fame and what say... and now he has lost his better half or now single !!! its tough...This is the time when any human needs a person to share their feelings and questions and more than that they need someone to support.

These people (I mean those who are single after 60) are the most misunderstood people in the whole world. These people are the people who needs the most care and affection. They have done everything in life, given good education to their children helped many on their active days. But now when they just need little attention,but we miss giving them that.

Those who all are reading this would have experienced this and would have done this without their knowledge. They would not have known that this might affect them. All the so called "aged old" person in the house just needs your attention towards him for just a small amount of your time. But we all dont give them that. You are busy all day everyone knows, even the person knows he is not going to stop you from doing your work. He just needs your attention when you are free.

They sit at the home seeing those useless four walls and not talking to anyone, everyone in the home would have now gone to either office or school. All day they have been thinking of the moment when someone will comeback home, and when they come back they just expect a couple of pleasantries. But what happens normally is that they start of the topic by asking how the day was to you, but what we do is we do not even reply to that in perfect manner.

This is like you are standing in a lonely sunny highway waiting for someone to come and give you a lift. What would your expectations be? Simple someone would come to take to your destination. Is this expectation too much or bad or disturbing the fellow. NO!!!. The same is that of the old people sitting in the house without any company. All they need is to talk to you for sometime.

So all you guys when you go back home just go and sit and talk with them at least for some time. I have not specified any time mind you. They will feel a lot better and after all they are elders their blessings are invaluable it will always with you. So please do spend some time with them they have done lot for us through out their lifetime now its our time to give back to them

THANK YOU

WOMEN

Okay now I'm going to write about a completely different topic this time. This not about politics nor a post that has got nothing in it. This post i'm trying to write about some male do not accept that easily nor do i. This post is going to be about male dominance and chauvinistic attitude of male. I still cant understand if this attitude is good or bad.

When Gandhi called for sathyagraha he never called a single man, he called the women of every house to come and join the movement. He was the one who believed that women were most capable than men in all aspect. He said women were only clan who can smile and welcome a guest to the house even if there are hundreds of problem at home.

Why go to Gandhi and all. My Amma at home she is the perfect example of what a women can achieve in her life. I will just say the work that she does all day and then one can decide if a woman is more stronger than man. She goes for a early walk in the morning and comes and cooks for the entire house and this includes the breakfast and the lunch for the entire house, All this would be done by morning 8. After that she readies herself for her work. She works in a bank. There she works equivalent to all the men folk in the Bank. The Works gets over by 5 in the evening and comes back home. After she is back its all not easy she then after a small break goes and starts preparing for the night dinner. In between all these she used to help me and my sister with our homework, socialize with the nieghbours, keep in touch with all relations and keep herself updated with the current affairs and nations' progress. Whoa all these by a single lady in a single day.

After all these men think they are the best and they also need respect it seems. I still can not understand why a women for no reason respect male. If he being a male is only the reason for him gaining respect then that is a humbug.

I being a male never ever in my life would expect a women to respect me because i'm a male. I will also blame the women folk for all these, they give undue respect to male and thats the reason why the men expect these "respects".

According to me a MAN who does not know how to respect WOMAN can never be a MAN...
