Elders In The Family Poem by Rajnish Manga

your poem beautifully describes the perils of nuclear family system.

It is really heart wrenching to see parents and grandparents are neglected by their progene and there are several factors like: Job opportunity, Career, Life style, Money etc etc... At least Covid19, to some extent, helped to bridge the gap and recreate bonding. A very thoughtful poem.10+

Gone are those days when every family used to live jointly with elders taking care of young ones and the family consists of not less than 10 members, now you hardly see a family with more than 5 members. Husband, wife and 2 to 3 kids maximum. This is the reason why the concept of Old Age Home came into existence. -Cont-
