Time runs so fast, another year has passed and I am privileged to have them with me so long, who brought me to this universe. And what could have been a better way to celebrate this day other than taking blessings from someone who brought me to this universe. The very first thing I did today was to touch her feet and seek blessings from my living God - tears came in both of our eyes. It has been a very long struggle for Mom and me and I have seen her struggle since the age of ten, extending my helping hand. In that process she has enabled me to be able to do everything till date - a legacy that I am trying to teach my kids.
She is my living inspiration to be dutifulness - at the age of seventy five, she still gets up early in the morning, and does not take rest till going to bed. It's because of her, they are able to manage to live alone in my native place, and I divide myself between between both the places. My friends are great assets for me, as they often take care of any emergency requirement, as they don't know to take advantage of all the digital offerings, available in small scale (compared to the city).
As we get older, we understand more about why they did what they did - life does not always justify every decision - some are taken in the best interest of a larger good at one point of time, which turns out differently with time. But at this age, all they need is our presence and wealth becomes totally irrelevant beyond livability. Recently my son was asking me what career I want him to choose and my answer was in line with what I feel for my parents - whatever you do, we will always be happier to see you around. I don't want to restrict your decision, but this is something that everyone will feel at a particular age - how do we make our life more meaningful, while fulfilling our duty.
Whenever I am in my native, I can't resist playing football but by the time I came back, the delicious turmeric cake was ready, prepared by Mom. Same flavor, same taste with lots of love reminding me everything she has done for us - you can never compensate a mother's affection, love and duty. We are what today because of her - Mother's love is the purest love for everyone, and we should never forget that.
The evening went well with visit to our nearest temple - the importance of divine touch is felt more as we get older.
In preparation of welcoming "Bol Bam" devotees carrying holy water from different places to offer it at the Shiva temple, they are cooking food for thousand people.
More to come on football soon.....

I really liked your simplicity and ease. The way you are hugging your parents is a lesson for the boys of this generation. Children of this time and time do not have time for their parents. I visit your post again and again. Whenever I see you, I remember one of my relatives. His face looks exactly like yours. @sanjeevm
Thank you so much.
I want to show you a photo of a relative of mine whose face exactly matches yours.

There is nothing more wonderful than selfless parental love on this earth.
Seeing them grow older together by living a wholesome life is indeed truly guiding, motivating and inspirational, by going against the odds of life and still sticking together in thick and thin is absolutely amazing and marvelous experience for life.
Happy belated birthday ... is there any cake for me though 😎
Always welcome to eat from Mom's hand - she loves to cook for me, even at this age. Come to India and you will love my place.
Yes. I feel the same way about my mom. (and dad, but he is remarried now and still quite active.. so he doesn't 'need' me like how my mom does) she is like ur parents.. doesn't understand electronics and stuff. My job is just to keep her happy and that means playing cards and helping her with the tv. 😉☺️😁🤙🌈
That's a great job you are doing, keep it on...
thanks. ☺️😉👊
Some times we might have some friction with our parents as we grow up. But as we get aged and once we become parents, we realize everything and become more mature and all friction goes away. 🙂
Exactly, unless we reach that age, we cannot understand those sentiments. Everyone will go through this, the sooner one realizes, the better it is to attain inner peace.
Honestly speaking, it is a great privilege which many persons have prayed to have or see it..
I'm glad you would..
We are nothing without our parents. So we must respect and look after them and try to keep them happy at all times.
Touching the feet of an elder while she prays for you is a way to make prayers get answered. I’m glad that your parents are old enough to this age. God has really blessed your family
Hello dear friend @sanjeevm
It's undoubtedly a great privilege to have your parents by your side, especially in their current state of health.
It's great that you have friends who are always there for them if they need anything.
You're right to regularly visit your hometown and spend quality time with them.
Treasure them with all your heart.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
They are the best assets one could have in life....their value is un comparable.
Seeking blessings from them on my birthday is the biggest celebration.
It is big big privillage 😊
You made me miss my late parents 🥲🥹
I feel like I am alone
So sorry to hear that, from last few years, I consider it a big celebration to spend time with them on my birthday which is today.
It’s a kind of joy to see our parents grow so old
I’m glad your parents are old and still together and happy
It’s a beautiful thing
Oh true mother's love are irreplaceable, parents are the reason we live too without them there will be no us that alone worth celebrating them everytime. May God keep blessing them with good health and long life 🙏🙏
We must never joke with our parents. They are our assets. Without them, we might not be alive
This is so beautiful, it's really a great privilege having both parents alive. Our parents are a great blessing in our life'ys. Their impact cannot be over emphasized
I agree that parents are great privilege in our lives.
On a special date like this, what better feeling, my friend, than to spend it with the people who gave us life? Congratulations on loving your parents. Unfortunately, I don't have mine by my side, but I would give everything I don't have to see them, even if it's just for one last time.
Spending a special date with your parents, playing soccer with friends and at the same time enjoying that turmeric cake is something, my friend, that is priceless and all the money in the world could not buy such unique moments.
that's wise words, you want to leave your son freedom to take his path, yet if he goes away or abroad it would be sad because you will greatly miss him
you have grown well, thanks to your parents too
A truly touching tribute, your love and respect for your mother shines through every word.
It's great, my friend, for those of us who are fortunate enough to have parents at our side, so we must respect them and give them all the love they deserve. At the same time, we must share the best food in the world, made by the blessed hands of their mother. It truly is a privilege, and we all agree.
I do miss my parents. My mom passed when I'm 22, followed by my father when I was 26.
Sorry to hear that.

That's too good to see. The amount of time you invest in family and cultural activities is just amazing especially in today's time when it's absolutely rare. It's lovely to see your simplicity and your respect towards elders!
Have a good day!
