SECRET IN MY FINGER

During our morning tea session in office canteen, one of my elderly friend told me that, if we can touch our index finger with our little finger then, we are believed to be able to pay back our parents, for the sacrifices that they have made.

I thought for a while and argued that its a bullshit theory made by some badass people to fool people around..
He waited for a while and said, its a perfect example, invented by some wise people to show that, its impossible to give back our parents for what they have given to us.

What he told me next, has changed my perception about my Parents forever.

He told me to think about a time, where i did a favour to my parents, it took a while for me to remember, as there aren't much that i have done for them. Finally, i could remember buying them a hat for each one, when i went on tour to Delhi.
Then, he told me to recall a moment where i have enjoyed during my schooldays and what were my parents doing at that very moment.

Almost immediately, i could remember my father profusely sweating, cutting wood in scorching sun with no hat and my mother stacking those wood pieces, while i lay inside my home, under the shade, on a comfortable sofa watching Titanic, not realising what my parents are going through outside. Suddenly, thoughts of many more similar incidences began to engulf me and  I felt soo guilty to an extent that i could literally put  my life on line for them.

That day i bought a samsung J2 mobile for my father and some cash for my mother, this has helped me subside my guilt to a certain extend, though i know that its nothing compared to what have done for me.

Finally, to all my friends like me, who have not yet realised what our parents have gone through to make..WHO WE ARE TODAY.

Now, that they have grown old, day by day they become weak and insecure. This is the time, we show them that their sacrifices have not gone in vain. And let us bring back those lost confidence and smile that they once had...
