GMCS!!!!

General Management and Communication Skills sessions....all Chartered Accountants are supposed to attend these for a continuous 15 days.We are a gala gang of 40+ ppl....
Just my second day thru ..I liked it.There have been ppl who looked at this GMCS as a pain..but they r slowly changing opinions.
I wanted a break..from my routines and i have got them.There was this fello Rishan y'day morning for the Intro ;then came Manish(somebody had to wake me up when the session was over!)....oh well n the female "instructors" today..Sreela n Gunjan...they were gud enuf.
Just hopin to have fun as today!

Vanaprastha for Parents? Think Again!

We were visiting our family friends after a long time.I had not realised that they were old now....way bit too old.They are lonely.Their children abroad,out of town, just saw what age and loneliness can do to people.
There is a place in Coimbatore called the Vanaprastha where oldies can spend the rest of their lives in peace.....out of choice or out of compulsion.The latter is the saddest part.The Indian parents are not trained to be as independent as their European or American counterparts are....Indians cant just be happy with once-in-a-blue moon visits.As soon as a child is born,the parents start living for the child...most of them still do!....and these friends of ours...at Chennai...!.....let Vanaprastha not be out of compulsion.
May atleast THEIR children realise that they r needed by their mom n pop.Amen.
