Parents don't die.

Parents don't die. 
We put them to death in case we 
don't maintain cordial relationship among siblings.

People say that when parents
die, the world comes to an end.
The house looks empty.
But I feel that parents live forever
and they with us.

It's us who forget them.
The matter of the fact is that
a brother has eyes of his beloved
father, a sister has the pretty face
like the compassionate mother,
a sibling smiles like dad or
a sister cooks like mom.

Parents don't die.
They never leave us.
They live among us.
They live in us.
We are the reflections of our
parents. Despite their physical
absence, they continue to live in us.
When you want to remember
parents, when you want to see
them, when you want to be with
them, simply gather your siblings
around you.

You will find the mesmerizing smile
of the mother in one sibling, the 
soothing voice of the father in
another. You will feel the parents
very close to you. All around you.
Deep inside you.....

The garden of love that parents
cultivate and grow with love, from
the time that you are born, with the
hard work of their tears and blood;
it will continue to 
bloom,.....unaffected by the cycles of
tough weathers of life.....They shelter
us in tough times......

But there are times,
when we forget all their hard work
and destroy their paradise that they
built, with our selfishness, hatred
and opportunistic attitudes. 

Parents don't die.
We put them to death.....

Love your parents.....
Love your siblings....
Continue to feed the garden that
parents cultivated with love and 
compassion so that it never stops
to bloom and blossom......

You will make
your world a living paradise on
earth....A heaven that only knows
love, compassion, care and respect.


Tailpiece.

Got up at 2, recited my prayers and turned off to sleep all over again. Got up at a half past 6, the chores and was well in time.

Ammayi continues to have bouts of pain after the fall yesterday. We left for the Foundation by 9 and I drove the car even though Manu was with us.

Worked on the biography and completed the run. Watched Chambu light up the candles on the occasion of Karthik Purnima. It was nice.
