Time flies- A phrase which has become a cliché but that is
the reality too. It was just few years ago when we were a group of kids playing
around without any tension or worry. Just go to school, do your homework, play,
eat and sleep. Then we started thinking “when would we grow up?”, ” nobody
listens to me”, “let me just grow and then I’ll show what I’m capable of, what
do these elders think of themselves” and so on. And then time passed by, so we
finally got what we had been craving for years, now people listen to us. Yes! We
are grown-ups. We have completed college, started earning, have become
self-dependent. But we might not have
realized that, all this while, when we were growing up our parents were going older.
Now, that young beautiful face of Mumma
and strong hands of Papa has wrinkles. We come home on vacations and think that
Papa can easily carry that 20 Kg suitcase. We plan to go for shopping, for the
whole day, with Mumma. It’s difficult to accept that suddenly Papa is not able
to carry that suitcase and Mumma can’t walk from one shop to another to search
that best dress for us. And we wonder what happened. It takes time to realize that they are going
older and our expectations needs to change.
Time passes and it brings so many changes with it. The hands
which we held when we didn’t know where to go, now, need our support. Now it’s
our time to carry their bag and to go for shopping and get stuff for them, to stand
in a queue and let our parents sit comfortably. We want some changes and some
changes occur which we did not thought of -out of which we accept some happily
and some cannot be.
