Dear Diary:
I am writing to you to share with you a very touching experience I had today. I got an opportunity to visit an old age home. It is a kind of home for those old people who for some reasons cannot stay with their grown-up children or those who don’t have any family member to care of them.
I felt very emotional interacting with an old lady. Although she is an affluent woman, she has to live in the home because both her daughters are married and well-settled. Her husband passed away long ago. She said she had opted to live at the Home for many facilities such as safety, security, lodging and boarding, and the most important thing-- company of peers.
I was so sad and depressed to see first time in my life there are such homes where the old people have to live without families. I personally feel people living in such old age homes feel very lonely and abandoned. The old people need their sons, daughters, grandchildren to live happily. Why is it that in our country the old fathers and mothers cannot live with their married daughters’ families?
I have decided that I shall be visiting the old age home regularly to give company to the old people living there.

Today, I got the opportunity to visit an old age home. It was a heart-breaking but a profound and an exeptional opportunity to enrich my knowledge and guide my moral compass. I met many influential people including an old man who had attended to the fires of 9/11 in the World Trade Centre of USA.
I interacted with a lady who had once sold a painting for a lot of money. She even gave me my own painting to take home! There was an ex-army official who told me about his deployment in Dunkirk, France and Afghanistan on Special Ops Missions. It certainly felt awesome to meet such influential people. But neither is the grass green in all places nor does a penny have the two same sides. But today, I understood the real plight of these extremely successful people. After all their events of success, they still are lonely and wish they could meet their
But my heart gave off stange vibes and soon, I understood why. Many of the people whom I had met here had children but, their children were so busy looking after their own selves that they forgot about their parents, their caretakers,the shoulder they used to cry on. I felt really sad about all these amazing people who were an honour to the country and I couldn't stop thinking about how their children could forget about them. I can promise myself today that I will never do so in the future.
