| This is the story of countless unheard voices, lost in the neglected crowd of old age. Those who have spent every moment of their lives laying the foundation of their families, now find themselves strangers in their own homes. This is the cruel irony of society, where the hands that once held the fingers of their children and taught them to walk, are now faltering in the darkness of their own people's indifference. In the glare of modernity, we have dressed up relationships in the garb of convenience. In the race for freedom and personal ambitions, our sensibilities have become numb. We have pushed the parents, whose sacrifice paved the way for our achievements, to the bottom of our priority list. This is not just a period of social change; it is a deep pain – a tragedy that very few people have the courage to see or feel. In today's era, where the concepts of 'live-in' relationships and 'independence' are redefining the meaning of togetherness, we have started considering traditions as a burden and emotions as a weakness. The family, which was once synonymous with love, respect, and unity, has often been reduced to a cold framework of formalities. The elderly, who were once the cornerstone of the home, are now confined to its corners – their words ignored, their feelings overlooked, and their existence unwanted. This story is an attempt to break the silence that covers the unspoken pain of the elderly. It is a call – from the eyes that eagerly await their loved ones, from the trembling hands that once put children to sleep, and from the hearts that still beat in search of the selfless love they once gave so freely. The question is not whether we should embrace our elders or not; the question is whether our conscience and humanity have become so hollow that we can no longer see their pain. Have we become so self-absorbed that the memory of their sacrifice holds no meaning for us? This story highlights a social truth, where in the name of progress, we have abandoned our values. |
