Is this called a "settled" life?

Yesterday,I happened to attend a religious-cum-socio function near Chennai. People from all walks of life attended the function. The purpose of the function was primarily targeted at the children and the youths. Because Chennai earns the numero uno position when it comes to abandoning their parents off the roads. The areas in and around Chennai, chooses this state capital as their favorite "dumping" ground for their parents.

In this city,At least 1 case is reported either from major Bus terminal or the railway station about parents being abandoned . More pathetic thing is even old couples are separated before being "dumped". Unable to face the harsh treatment from their "beloved" sons and daughters (and coupled with self-esteem)these "dumped" parents refuses to go back to their houses.

The "dumping" is not confined to a particular strata of the community. At least socialism prevails in their treatment to their parents.

Imagine, what would happen to today's sons and daughters after 30-40 years? will they survive that longer ? or should they brace up more harsher treatments from their "beloved" pro genies. Only time can tell........
