THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
At old age, death can happen without a signal, a warning or a sign. It can just happen spontaneously.
Many people don't get the chance to say their last words. As such, they go with a lot of unspoken words.
Our parents need us to visit them and not just to call or send money. How many times have we spent a night with our parents in the last 5 years?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
How fulfilled do we feel attending funerals of those we ignored for many years when they were alive and probably sick?
These days, we prioritise funerals over fraternity just to prove solidarity. This is gradually becoming a norm in the society.
If we cannot visit our parents, friends or relatives while alive, it doesn't make sense travelling long distances to bury them.
