Where are the grand parents?

Gone are the days when grand parents will set an example and tell us good moral values and spiritual values...These days the children's grandparents set a trend to demoralize and corrupt the established values of the country. Agreed we have a micro minority of people out trying to maintain all thats good, writer only feels that this micro minority should soon become majority.

Perhaps because husbands and mothers and mother in laws themselves have lost moral and ethical values to question the conduct of these women. We can see it in one of the advertisement of a foreign(they bring us those cultureless culture with their products) brand of chocolate where mother in law dances wild with daughter in law on the street and set a cultureless culture trend of the wild west.

I truly wonder how many of the grand parents in the present day school going children know Ramayana or Mahabharata to tell their grand children.

There were times when grandparents would comb the grand daughters and ask them to keep vibhuthi and kumkum...and jasmine flowers..Now these grand parents are going to 'Beauty Parlours' to cut their hairs or dye them or what not? Indulging in the new found wealth when country still sees the beggars begging on the roads...

There were times when one asks for food in the roadside the grand parents or parents would scold at us and advice children to come home and eat. Now I find the grand parent generation standing and munching in the roadside shop much to my surprise. Wonder then who could guide the children, if not grand parents better. Where are the grand parents?

We need them to better guide the children with Ramayana or Mahabharata or other numerous puranas that the country is blessed with. Agreed we have a micro minority of people out trying to maintain all thats good, writer only feels that this micro minority should soon become majority.
