Make The Habit of Respect for..............Persons............

Make The Habit of Respect for..............Persons............

More than food, clothing and shelter, a person needs respect. Respect is the self acceptance and also the acceptance by the society that the person is the source and ear of thought, that the person’s presence complements the synergy and individual energies in the community. At the ultimate fundamental level, the Universe is actually a cauldron and arena of thought and not of matter. The three dimensional matter, supposed to be rooted in the particles of the standard model, actually is an illusion. One lives in thought..... in consciousness..... in emotional interactions and equations...and not one single emotion can be quantified in reality and it cannot be measured in terms of length, breadth, height, in kilos or litres or miles.

Once education meant, actually practising concentration,planning, achieving goals and aims till one actually felt one’s participation in the gigantic synergy of the Universe. The basic meaning of God is, the Universe and participation in the Subsumation in the rhythm of the universe was education, which actually was the living of life. God was the basic conceptual base or paradigm to connect to and experience understanding. And everyone was a co-efficient, contributing to the gigantic multiplication in thought taking place in the Universe.

Respect in essence, is the recognition of the position of an individual as a co-efficient of thought. When one’s position as a coefficient of thought is recognized, one automatically thinks before expressing a thought. One cares for one’s thoughts and one weighs before expressing a thought.One’s thoughts thus blend in the general thought, every word gathers new meanings, develops branches, language grows as the thought grows.

But what is the path chosen for thought? Is it to be based on nature, as an interaction and emotional relationship with nature, the acceptance of every living form as a coefficient of thought, or is the thought to be mechanized, every organism to be killed or extinguished or tortured in the name of industrial and economic development?If the path chosen is participation in nature, then it is the path of art, the path of rapture in music, painting, sculpture, song, poetry in the communal synergy of dances...Observe a group dancing and singing, there is the Subsumation of spirit, every member feeling acceptance, feeling the belonging...feeling the RESPECT.

With the demise of barter based on nature, each individual giving and receiving various needs, based on traditions, customs, the sense of the sacred---, the very concept of respect as an individual’s personal need is gone. Money has become the ticket for respect. The more money one has, the more the respect one gets and commands. In that mad rush for money, all nature is being destroyed, the more sophisticated the method of destruction, the greater the respect the inventor of that method of destruction gets.

Nature is getting destroyed. Individual human beings too are getting destroyed, in the name of cost reduction. Cost reduction actually is the euphemism for shifting one’s expenditure to the society, or in not paying what is really due. ULTIMATELY COST REDUCTION MEANS THE REDUCTION OF RESPECT TO HUGE POPULATION .Respect for nature and the respect for the individual cannot be separated. Oh..... My God, today arts themselves are mechanized, it is not the person that sings as in nature, it is the machine that sings, it is the machine that paints, it is the machine that manufactures poetry........as if there is no need to respect the redundant human being or nature.

Coping with age, Food & Health Care for parents.

Coping with age, Food & Health Care for parents............ when children are......@....... distant................

With rising numbers of Indians migrating abroad for work, many elderly parents are left behind to cope with the challenges of ageing alone. Tailored senior housing options and care packages can help, yet what these left-behind senior citizens ultimately desire is the warmth of human relationships.

With vast and growing numbers of Indians in the workforce emigrating to foreign lands, typically to North America, Western Europe, Australia or parts of South East Asia, many Indian families are now experimenting by either taking their elderly parents along with them, or, when that model fails owing to the loneliness of the elderly in a new country and their dependence on their children, they are sent back to India to face their uncertain twilight years more or less alone.

This trend has also accompanied the breakdown of the traditional Indian joint family system, with the result that a growing cohort of elderly Indians have to fend for themselves in old age homes far from any family connections.

Yet in some cases the elderly refuse to cut their ties to India to accompany their children abroad in the first place. Raghu Srinivasan (name changed) works for a tech company in the U.S. and has lived there for the past 22 years. His parents however, live in Ghatkopar in Mumbai.

“Despite my telling them for many years to move here full time they prefer to live in India,” he said, adding, “Initially healthcare was not a problem but as they are getting older there are more and more issues to deal with. Recently, after my father had a fall we decided to take the step of buying them an apartment in a colony for senior citizens in Bangalore.”

Boom in senior housing....

While senior communities in India were originally associated with charitable institutions and even with the rescue and rehabilitation of destitute among the elderly, those connotations appear to be transforming into the more luxury-focused retirement communities, at least for middle class Indians.

Many opt for such homes offering specialist services for the care of the elderly because the costs of hiring private, full time can be prohibitive and also it can be an insurmountable task to effectively coordinate doctor visits and such. In the new class of senior citizen colonies, many of these facilities are taken care of under a single package.

According to a 2015 report by the consultancy firm Jones Lang LaSalle India, India has a senior population of over 100 million and has an estimated demand of 300,000 senior housing units, valued at over $1 billion.

Rising middle class......

According to Mathew Cherian, CEO of HelpAge India, a large non-profit organisation working for senior citizens in the country, there are over 4,000 old age homes, of which at least 130 were designed as retirement communities geared towards the expectations and demands of the rising middle class and affluent NRIs. The cost of an apartment can vary from ₹25 lakhs to ₹1 crore and while some developers consider affordability of this housing to the general middle class segment of urban India, the higher end units are an attractive option for senior citizens whose children are living abroad. There are also different models of ownership besides outright sale including a lifetime lease and a deposit model.

Around three years ago, Bayada Home Health Care, a U.S.-based home health care company acquired a stake in India Home Health Care, an Indian company. Bayada now offers a package specifically designed for Non-Resident Indians who have parents living in India. The packages range from $20 to $40 per month and are of two types – NRI Continuous Check-up, which aims at ensuring that the senior citizen’s health condition is monitored and health issues are detected as early as possible and acted upon accordingly, and NRI Close Monitoring, for which a closer and more frequent check is required.

The Close Monitoring package is a tailored service for concerned NRIs who want to keep a check on their parents, some of whom prefer to have the option to even monitor via closed-circuit television.

Another company, UberHealth, offers preventive health care packages at an annual subscription rate priced at about $200, but also offers one-time doctor visits which are cheaper.

UberHealth’s preventive health care package takes care minute details, including booking doctors’ appointments, picking up the elderly parents and dropping them back, and having a representative accompany them to take notes on doctors’ feedback which will be sent online to the children abroad.

Another company called Parental Care India based in Kolkata allows NRIs to book specific services such as an emergency hospital or doctors visit at $15.

Yet the problem with all of these arrangements, helpful though they are to the elderly, is that depression brought on by loneliness can be a serious concern among residents at such communities.

According to Mr. Cherian, “There is not enough love and care in these places. Phone calls, Skype conversations, and rushing to India when a parent falls sick are just not enough.”

Networking for elderly......

Thus, despite this growing sophistication of elderly care packages available on the market, old-fashioned social relationships with friends and neighbours may ultimately offer as much or more succour for the elderly whose children no longer reside in India.

Dhiraj Mirchandaney lives in Abu Dhabi and his mother lives in an apartment in Mumbai central. He says that for most health care needs he relies on neighbours and relatives whom he describes as a second family, yet he too has taken the innovative step of fixing a CCTV camera in the house that he can monitor remotely, an option that additionally makes his mother feel safer.

Similarly, some among the elderly proactively take steps to build up a network of social contacts that can to some extent mitigate the loneliness that inevitably comes from the distance between these elderly parents and their children settled abroad.

Ramesh Kapadia, a resident of Aurangabad, started the Non-resident Indian Parents Association 12 years ago as a way for parents with children living abroad to keep in touch.

“When I used to go visit my daughter in Canada I met a lot of other parents who had come over from India and we used to spend time together since our children were busy quite often, with their own lives… When we were back here I decided it's very important to maintain a social network, so we have telephone meetings and other events and we have members now from all over India,” Mr. Kapadia says.

“The majority of parents of NRIs that I meet spend a part of the year with their kids and some time back in India,” says Satish Rao, a Mumbai resident.

“Since the kids have been gone from a young age that means the parents like us have spent many years alone and so it is always advisable to build a social network where like-minded people can communicate with each other.”

In recognition of the fact that the number of such parents is growing every year NRI Parents Organisations have been established in several cities and are on Facebook in Mumbai, Aurangabad, Pune, Vadodara, Bangalore and other metros........

Thank God ..there are more number of Senior Living homes coming up in Coimbatore, Kumbakonam, Bangalore, Chennai etc. at an affordable cost to Senior Citizens......JK

Law of the Seed......................................

Law of the Seed......................................

This is a very good thought.........................Read carefully and relate it to your life.

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree and each apple has ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds!
We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few
more apple trees?"

Nature has something to teach us here. It  is telling us.....................

“Not all seeds grow....... In life,....... most seeds never grow”.
So if you really want to make something happen, you better try more than once."

This might mean:...........

You will attend twenty interviews to get one job.

You wll interview forty people to find one good employee.

You will talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea etc.

And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend.

When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed.
We stop feeling like victims.................And....We learn how to deal with things that happen to us.............Laws of nature are not things to take personally.

We just need to understand them(Facts of the nature and its realities) - and work with them.................and get along with them without making any FUSS & FUN.
