Have you ever made love on a beach?

No, but I have had sex on a beach. Typically in a secluded spot in the Caribbean where the authorities and other people are more open to that type of action.

Why don't you want to have sex on the beach? With all the sand that can float into 'places'...

In today's fast moving world, we seem to have lost respect for our elders in pursuit of chasing our dreams. When a child grows up, instead of taking up the responsibility, it often backs out. As a result, his parents end up in some old age homes.

BUSY MORNINGS, hectic day and a tired evening, this is what everyone in this world faces today from a school going child to a busy prime minister. But in the process are we forgetting something that projects the true culture of our country?

Our parents teach us from childhood that we have to respect our elders, be an example to our youngsters, be honest and not lie.

But when children grow up and it’s their turn to take up the responsibility, I often find that many of them turn their backs to their parents. As a result, their parents end up in some old age homes. The most disheartening part is that they don’t even visit their parents even once in a year.

Our county is known for respecting elders. "Mathro devoo bhava, pithro devo bhava", which translates as mother and father are next to god. When the true meaning of these words are lost, is there any use of praying to god for peace?

But these things are no more family issues, it has now turned out to be a social problem resulting in existence of old age homes, which is not just affecting families but our social life also. We look for peace and comfort but some where the guilt factor within us for ignoring our parents still affects us, if not now but later in life when we find ourselves in our parent’s shoes.

This is why our country is losing its respect and responsibility. If anyone realises this then they are the true person with a good human heart. All we need to do is just say ’hi’ to our parents when we face them. Let us take a step and visit old age homes, so that sad parents may die in peace after seeing their children in us.
