GOLDEN DAYS

It is said that those were good old golden days. Time has changed now. Time has brought changes in our lifestyle and in our thinking. Our forefathers came on this land with nothing. With the grace of God and through their tremendous efforts, today we have all luxuries like house, car, modern facilities etc. Yet we feel something missing in our life. Today along with name, fame and wealth, we are also engulfed with tension, ill health and family problems. In those days our forefathers ate less and lived healthy life. They had sound sleep even without air-condition. Today we are exposed to varieties of reach food and yet we cannot digest it without the help of medication. We cannot sleep even in air-conditioned rooms without the help of sleeping pills. Today we have to take "art of living" classes for better living.

            In those days, for children to obey their parents was a part of their religion and duty. These days, children raise their concern and refuse to obey their parents. In those days a daughter would not dare to do anything against the wishes of her parents. Today you cannot say anything to your daughter or daughter-in-law even if they return home late at night from clubs or parties. Love marriage and divorce were regarded as disgrace for the society in those days. Today one can never be sure, when one's daughter will return from her in-laws and file a divorce.
