Parenting is the highest form of Joy... Not just a Sacrifice...

What if someone was not born for you ?? It is enough if the Parent in you is born from inside...

I always wondered what is to be a parent !!! ..


Our Parents used to wait for us till we come home to eat together...

Our Parents used to give all the time for us to take care of us...
Our Parents had given all their earnings for our education and comforts...
Our Parents only slept after we slept and they always woke up before us to get everything ready for us..
Our Parents spend all their holidays with us to give us the best experience...
Our Parents hid all the sufferings to make us happy, comfortable...
Our Parents had dedicated their life to us - without working for their career, comforts, savings.....

Oh are today's parents still the same... I wonder !!!


This is what I know .. What i don't know is ...


How many days they filled their stomach with water to fill our empty stomachs...

How many times they wore the old clothes to buy new clothes for us ...
How many vacations they postponed endlessly to send us for the excursions ..
How many times they had the cheapest comforts to buy the costliest comforts for us ....
How many roads they walked to send us in vehicles...


I always wondered what is to be a parent !!! ..

When our teachers lost hope on us.. they changed our school and teachers...

Our parents never will lose hope on us...

We were failures sometimes in life...When the society lost hope ...

We had a home to go...
Knowing that Our parents never will lose hope on us...

But sometimes when the Creator says no hope ... No where to go... Nothing to do...

Still Our parents never lost hope ... With their Prayers ...They kept the hope live...

Parenting is Sacrifice .. It is all about Sacrifice... Love... and Service..


Apart from my parents so many have parented me...


My Neighbors... My Grand Parents... My Relatives... Even the Strangers who really took care of me...

Parenting is the highest form of joy.. Parent is not just Sacrifice... It is one of the highest form of Love... 

Once in a while when i get a chance to feed my nieces.. take care of them even for few hours... Love.. Love.. of course with that sweet pain.... 


When ever when my niece is not well or when she gets hurt.. it pains for me.. I keep thinking about her.. I wonder what the  parent's pain may be....


Sacrifice is to be returned back.... Love to be returned back ... Parenting to be reversed..


Now the Parents are old the role should reverse ... We should become Parents and sacrifice for our Parents.... Because by age they have already become Children...


Assumed I had Sacrificed a lot.. Not knowing what it is to sacrifice... Salute to My Parents... To all the Parents....

Now I feel like a Parent.. What if someone was not born for me... It is enough I am born as a Parent from inside...


Art of Living has given me an opportunity to be more than a parent for many....


Love you all forever... And Let my love remain forever.... As true as it is this moment....

Are you still wondering what is to be a parent !!! .. 

Chose to be a parent for one or two in your family.. Or for many, many in this world...
