MY VISIT TO AN OLD AGE HOME
Old age homes are all over the world but even in the best old age home, the old people are lost,lonely and unhappy. Nobody, not even science can explain the love ,bonding and affection between a mother and child. Every mother wants her children happy. But when she finds that she is a load in her child's life, her whole world comes crashing down. She wants her children to have the best that she could afford. To obtain this she works hard for most of her life. Sometimes she goes hungry to feed her children .When her children have grown up, all she wants is for them to spend some of their free time with her but when she is pushed into an old age home , she feels devastated and helpless. She tries her best to adjust to the surroundings ,talk to the people who are strange and unknown to her.
When I visited an old age home, I got to know that being old is not easy. I could actually see the pain and loneliness in each person's eye. Our class was divided into groups of ten . Each group was accompanied by a warden. We were taken to each ward which consists of three to four beds. We were not taken to some wards because there were mentally retarded people there. We had taken some daily used items like soaps, bed sheets ,bedspreads,fruits ,snacks ,etc. It was not these things that made them happy, it was talking to us that gave them joy.
