Missing Someone

There are parents and grandparents almost in every family. Parents play their role in raising their kids and Grandparents play their role in raising their grand children. Grand parents give ethical education to the kids and Parents teach them about manners and behavior as expected of their children in modern society.

What happens if one doesn't have grand parents?? what if one of the parents or one of the grand parent is missing from one's life? It depends on how a person takes it. I never got the love of my grand fathers from both of my parent's side. Though i did had maternal grandmother whom i lost when i was in 7th grade. When i grew up i started feeling the missing link of my life. I missed having an old man in my life who could tell us more about the life of his times and life he lead as a boy. It's different to hear it from one's grandmother because the way of telling about one's life is different and telling about someone else's life is different.

I came across many old people in my life and started thinking of one couple as my grandparents and called them so. They never minded me calling them so. I liked to hear stories from them and about life in their times. But I still missed the presence of my original Grandparents. But one can't change the reality of life and has to face it time and again. Same goes for the people who have lost their parents or a parent in their life. They didn't get the same care and love as they could have in the presence of their lost ones. After all a child needs his mother and father both to raise him.

The grandparents are important in their own way. They guide and give the knowledge in the form of stories, either from their lives or from the old writers. They inspire kids in their own way. These old time thinkers are valuable in their own way as the thinkers of our modern times are. No matter what their thoughts are regarding the gradual changing modern world, but there are some grand parents who adjust according to the modernity and accept the changes as they are presented. As it is known by people out there, not all the people have the same thinking.

A Regular Family Incident-3

Ana:- Man!! I could n't sleep last night.

Priya:- Why so?

Ana:- I was studying last night and went to sleep at 12 as usual and then I felt hot while sleeping because mum switched off my fan as my parents are afraid of the fan coils being burned while using it with inverter.

Priya:- Then??

Ana:- Well I woke up at 3:15 and switched on my fan and slept again.

Priya:- So? u slept again? Then how come you could not sleep later on?

Ana:- Well, listen to me first...I did turn in after that but i dreamed that i was being chased by S.T. Coleridge who wrote Rime Of Ancient Mariner in our syllabus, and he wanted to kill me because i attempted his question in the previous paper and my answer was not up to his poetic fantasies.

Priya:- Hahahahahaha... poor you
