Dear Friends, please go through this beautiful story, received from one of my friend & please think on it as it have an important message which is useful in our present as well as future situation.

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and
 four-year-old grandson.
 
 The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step
 faltered.
 
 The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky
 hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon
 onto the floor.
 
 When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and
 daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
 
 'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his
 spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'
 
 So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather
 ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had
 broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
 
 When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear
 in his eye as he sat alone.
 
 Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he
 dropped a fork or spilled food.
 
 The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the
 father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
 
 He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy
 responded,
 
 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I
 grow up. ' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
 
 
 
 
 
 The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears
 started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew
 ! What must be done?
 
 That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to
 the family table.
 
 For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for
 some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork
 was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

Simple. Do unto your parents, the way you wish your children do unto you later.

Mr. Shrikant, we need more such stories to put us back in order, as we are losing the great significance of joint family, leading machine-like life, grooming hatred and losing patience!
