Nowadays, going to abroad has become a usual thing. Many are going for jobs, studies, and vacations or settling there. It’s a proudest thing that they are going to abroad. It’s one side…
But in the other side, they are missing their parents, brothers, sisters, hubbies, wives, sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, cousins… due to their responsibilities.
They are not able to be with their families during important enjoyable occasions or illness of any family member …. They are alone and no one is to care when they are sick in abroad (saying about family members)…
I personally miss my bro. He’s in London. He will tell he’s fine. But truly don’t know how he is… Whether taking food properly, having good sleep or taking care of his health… don’t know…
He missed our house warming function. He can watch it in Video. But we missed him so much on that day… My mom was very hungry and thought to take dinner... That time someone remained about my bro. That’s all, mom couldn’t able to eat and felt tears in her eyes… This is what happening to most parents…..
He’s missing mom’s food, care, fun we used to have by chatting together in home… He can’t able to spend time with his nephew… I used to send photos and videos to him to keep him updated….
Our society has created a greater impact on us. So, we are forcing our kids to be good in all things, proper education, extra curricular activities, careers, their future, life, marriages…
Though they have achieved much in their life in abroad, deep in their heart they would have missed all these things... For just a second, they would have thought it…
All for Money…
I quite agree with you!
ReplyDeleteMoney is not all about life... But today many younger-ones are brought up in the intention of earning more money and our education system itself teaches them in aims of that. Everyone has responsibility to support there family and own story to say to settle in abroad, but how well we are connected with dear ones is important to make life significant.
Kalai so well said! This is the dilemma all the families face in today's world whose children are now abroad or even in India in some far off towns!

ReplyDeletes buddy... u r absolutely true..
Rahul Bhatia,
Yes. Thank u so much Sir...
Wonderful post that addresses a very important issue, Kalai. I can see the outcome of this in my own life. As a young child, my parents continued moving to different countries to make a better life for my brother and I, monetarily speaking.
ReplyDeleteMy parents settled in the U.S. but I grew up not knowing my grandparents and missed out on spending time with a vast amount of family in Scotland.
As I look at my brother's life, for sure he has the American Dream, as they say, BUT at what price? He doesn't value family and he's brought up his children to not value money or family either.
Many times I think we would all be closer and happier if we had stayed TOGETHER in poorer conditions. Money is definitely not everything in this life. Family should always remain one's number one priority :)
Its a very wonderful post, and can open the eyes of them who thinks there is nothing but happiness in going abroad. Most of us do not think of these factors that you have mentioned and which are the basic ones, in fact people tend to forget almost everything against money. Its true, but the thing is without money, its very hard to survive.
ReplyDeleteSometime, to see parents happier they go abroad to earn more, so that his/her parent can live with all comfort. We know that, we cannot have everything in our hand. We have to lose something in order to get something.
stay connected!!!
its me!!! sharan :)
Fiona,
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona.. Thanks 4 sharing...
Sharan,
Thanks a lot Sharan... Also i agree with ur point buddy...
I miss my family members. I miss a lot. But what I'm thinking, my children shouldn't experience that much hardships and miseries as I did. Let us think in a positive way. Don't live for money and money is an essential thing to live. Nice post and best wishes.
ReplyDeleteThaikaden,
ReplyDeleteThank u so much 4 dropping by...
Well said... i agree with u...
What a hard post. Really money is not everything. I too wonder when people go abroad how will they live without their near and dear ones... There are ample opportunities in India, we have the love and care of our parents, our siblings... A thought provoking post.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead:)
To chase bigger money, many people have to leave their families. It's really a dilemma, since they need the money for their children better future.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, sis.

Lina,
U r exactly true sis....
I agree with your thoughts. Indeed living abroad is now like a fashion and the one who returns after that start getting a different look altogether but yes to me India carries more warmth than anywhere else.
