I-Magzz-Making Myself Heard! April 2014 | Page 21

It is a known fact that many of the old age homes are being filled now a days also the number is increasing. There are men who voluntarily send their old parents to old age homes just to fetch some plot of land which they own. They forget all the pain and sufferings that their parents faced to nurture their child. It is indeed heart breaking to see the boom in old age homes. It is due to lack of understanding and difficulty in living situations that make most of the parents move to old age homes. Also, I believe that it is due to the money minded behaviour of people or lack of empathetic feelings for their parents.More and more families are becoming nuclear in nature where the aged parents are nothing but a nuisance for their own children. As children turn into adults there is a clash of egos and space. – Muskan Alawadi OUR ENVIRONMENT Everybody knows that we should take care of the environment but the question is are you doing anything to take care of the environment? For you cannot do all by yourself but you can always do something to take care of the environment. There are lots of things you can do, instead of taking the car you can take the bus to your work. You can take your bike instead andlet the car rest. I mean that don’t take unnecessary travels, so if you live in the town take the bus or take the bike if you have a short distance. I can write down thousands of things how you can rescue the environment. - Sanna Borgqvist Students of St. Mark’s Sr. Sec.
