The tattered blanket by Kamala Das reflexes the present society . Nowadays the children are becoming too selfish and they are leaving their old parents in Old age homes.

Here in this lesson we see that Gopi come for selling his land and get money but he doesn't come to see his widow's sister and his old mother . His mother becomes a person who forgets everything .Gopi is not worrying about her mother but worrying about himself and making his both ends meet .

His poor mother remembers about the blanket , the blanket which he brought when he was studying in Madras as a student. Now she asks the Gopi who see thinks a stranger to request her son to send her a blanket which is a red one as the one we she have has already gone torn and tattered.

All Gopi wanted was to make money and not bother about his mother and that too he came to Thiruvananthapuram only for his meeting .

Kamala das tells that parents care so much for us and inreturn we don't care them at the old age and show least respect . So Remember, Our parents brought us up-to the stage we are , Treat them like your children, and respect and care them. They deserve care.
