Evening Dinner with a Father

A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner.  Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers.  Other diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.
After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the washroom, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his spectacles firmly.  When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.  The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?”.
The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t”.
The old man retorted, “Yes, you have!  You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father”.
The restaurant went silent.
Moral: To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors.   We all know how our parents cared for us for every little thing.  Love them, respect them, and care for them.

Expectation.

Expectation. Expectation the word described by Wikipedia as a “strong belief that something will happen or be the case” We human being tends to think too much or expect from people that they might help us or they might be with us forever. We tend to do so much for them sometime sacrificing our own dream, don’t we? This expectation just kills us, we have to understand we came here alone and we just have to spread love and we shouldn’t expect anything in return. Expectations from family, friends and soul mate have always came the opposite way that’s what life tests you with. How strong we stand alone is all that matters and when we expect something we get hurt. Don’t expect things to happen. It’s better to feel surprise, than be disappointed. Don’t get to attached to people, because attachment lead to expectation and expectation lead to disappointment. Always keep your expectation high on yourself but low on people.

Growing Up

Hello everyone, This was something always on my mind as a kid like to get big as soon as possible handling responsibilities, taking decision, earning my own money and doing what I feel to do without any suggestion or advice. Sometime memories sneak out of my eyes and roll down my cheeks ! Those were the days when we used to run like there is no stopping point, when we use to save money whole week so that we can party with friends, when we use to fight with no fear and play crazily at ground getting total dirty still never mind that. I tried to grow up fast, and its not fun! You should stay kid as long as possible! Coming home from anywhere  the first question, where is mom? Getting confused when being asked who is best mom or dad ? Mom and dad were like world to us. when we need cash dad was like Atm machine and when we are hungry at home mom was the best chef ever. they have gone from my sight but never gone from my heart.
