This is a story of an old man (around 80 years old). An Ex HAL employee, Bangalore & also a part time Engineer. He has 4 children (2 daughters and 2 sons) who is happily settled in Bangalore city. They are working as Inspectors, Engineers and IT professionals. This man Mr. Ramakutty is in Bangalore since 60+ yrs and can speak & understand English, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi & Kannada. I met him near Chinmaya Hospital, Indira Nagar. In fact he was trying to stop the motorist for a drop to the Old Madras Road. I stopped. He sat on my bike holding my shoulder tight. He was heading to his rented home in Lingarajpuram where his 70+ yrs wife has been bed ridden for years. I asked the old man why are you on the roads in this freezing weather... He said for a JOB?? I was stunned to hear this from a 80 years old man. I asked him why. He said To feed himself & his wife. I immediately stopped my bike and asked him if hes had lunch. He said NO... I took him to the nearest tea shop, bought him a tea and snacks. I could see some energy building in the old man’s body after having the food and later quietly he said that he eats once a day only... to save money!!! I asked him for his sons/daughters phone numbers... He hesitated to give... After 20 minutes I asked him once again before dropping him to the ring road. He said they will scold me… I asked why will they scold you? He said my children are annoyed with me and my wife because I have not build them houses or bought anything till now!!! I was fortunate to meet him I could say.... I gave him my phone number & asked him to call if he needs anything... Now some will say good Job and others will click like but this Im posting for the 4 great children who thinks house, cars and money is bigger than parents! SO PLZ SHARE ........ Im sure this info/message will go to his children... MY HUMBLE REQUEST to all players... Please take care of your parents. Post By: Santhosh Nair
