Grandparents

The life of a grandparent is really good. Seeing your grandchild for the first time is very emotional. The child becomes the' Apple of your eye'.
When the child cries you do everything possible to make him/her happy again.
A friendly doctor once told me that you can live your life again as a child if your grandchild is living with you.
Taking care of the child, playing with her, telling bedtime stories, bathing her, feeding her and taking her for walks become the priority in day to day routine.
Everyone is not lucky to become a grandparent or have the grandchild staying with you. If you are the lucky one you should make the most out of this happy period.
Time goes by and very soon the child has her own life and friends.
Those days when you were her companion bring back good memories.

Nowadays parents are busy with their jobs and taking care of all other issues. So they do not have much time for their children. The child is given the mobile or laptop or the I pad  to keep her happy. Even feeding the child becomes easy when these gadgets are turned on..

I wish children get more time to play outdoors as nowadays they are always busy with studies or connecting with friends.

Be Positive

It is after many years that I decided I wanted to share my opinion with readers.


This is a true incident and it has helped the person very much.
Being positive is very necessary when you are faced with a life threatening disease.

 She is a relative of mine and it was a great shock to all of us when out of the blue she was daigonised with breast cancer.

Initially she could not believe that she had fallen a victim to this disease but her positive attitude has been her strength. She was a carefree housewife who lived life to the full.
Her friendly helpful nature made her a favorite with all friends and relatives.
One day she felt a slight pain in her breast. As she was taking treatment from a homeopathy  doctor for her leg pain, she consulted him and he gave her some medicine to ease the pain.
After some time she realized that the pain as well as the lump she had noticed were increasing. So she consulted a doctor who asked her to undergo some tests. The results were positive and it was a very emotional scene at home with her young daughter and husband trying to be brave about it.
She is a religious woman and so she made the round of temples praying to god to help her out.
As it was just the initial stage the doctor told her that the treatment would surely cure her.

She faced the situation with courage and a very positive attitude and at present she is nearly back to normal after undergoing the treatment the doctor prescribed. Her in-laws are taking very good care of her and her husband and daughter are her main strength.

Life can be difficult at times but a person can overcome any problem with a positive attitude, cause self pity or crying over the problem will only worsen the situation.
