This is a story of a Old man (around 80yrs old) an Ex HAL employee, Blore & also a part time Engineer. He has 4 children (2 daughters n 2 sons) who is happily settled in Blore city. They working as Inspectors, Engineers n IT professionals. The 80yrs old man (Mr.Ramakutty) is in Blore since 60+yrs n can speak & understand English, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi & Kannada. I met him near Chinmaya Hosp, Indira Nagar. Infact he was trying 2 stop the motorist for a drop to the Old madras rd. I stopped.. He sat on my bike holding my shoulder tight (tighter than my GF holds me when I Zoom in my bike) He was heading to his rented home in Lingarajpuram ...where his 70+yrs wife is...She is bedridden since yrs. I asked the old man why ru on the rds in this freezing weather... He said for a JOB ???? I was stun to hear this from a 80yrs old man... I asked Why !!! he said 'To feed himself & his wife' I imdly stopped my bike n asked 'did u have ur lunch ? He said NO... I took him 2 the nearest tea shop bought him a tea n snacks. I could see some energy building in the old man’s body after having the food n later quietly he said ...he eats once a day only....to save money !!!! I asked him for his sons/daughters phone numbers...He hesitated to give... After 20min I asked him once again before dropping him to ring rd...He said 'they will scold him'… I asked Why will they scold u ? he said my children r annoyed with me n my wife coz I have not build them houses/bought anything till now !!!!
I was fortunate to meet him I could say.... I give my phone number & said 2 call if he needs anything... Now some will say 'good Job ' n others will 'click like' but this I'm posting for the 4 great children who thinks house, cars n money is bigger than parents !!!! SO PLZ SHARE ........ Im sure this info/message will go to his children.....MY HUMBLE REQUEST to all players... plz take care of ur parents.
