Young and Old

Welcome Lokhi Menon!
Think this is your first contribution to Chowk?
Well, its beautiful and touching.
Touched a chord in my heart, which forever feels guilty for not being with my parents who live alone in their home, yearning for us to join them. Being the only child, I am the only one they look up to and I suffer guilt pangs day in and day out for staying with my family away from them, and visit them during week ends, even though we live in the same city. I know I would soon have to move bag and baggage to their house - given the wrinkles and the slow walk and the desolate looks on their faces. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Both you and your mom are fortunate to have each other.

Regards,
Saman Khan.

Ah, Mothers, I have a nagging mom who is never satisfied - yet she is the biggest influence in my life! I love her!

Anyhow , It's a wonderful writeup - something different and much needed!

Lokhi:

This was beautiful, thank you for such a touching tribute to your mother and to all Mom's everywhere.
