I am a science teacher in a government school. I always tell my students not to #waste paper, clothes and food at any stage of life.
I remember my grandmother, her hardworking hands were always busy #saving something or other. She came from a generation that sewed holes in socks instead of throwing them away.
New blouses to be worn with a sari were created by my grandma from the leftovers of a sheet of #fabric, for the little one-stiched garments.
As I looked at her, I kept looking at the wedding ring, which she never took off even after my Grandpa passed away, in fact, she wore it as a #pendant.
All the time she was busy mending and mending, in fifty years of marriage, with her humble efforts she was busy helping our needy neighbors. Her generation was unique, they valued things and #people.
The best example of the best doing of my grandmother, I still remember is unique which touches my heart.
Sometimes my father would not like his mother visit to her parents. My father was of the view when the children’s mother is away, the children of the house get #neglected. But my grandma at that time will mend my father’s heart and as well my mother’s heart.
My grandma will say ” Let my daughter-in-law go to her mother for just one day, as her visit to her parents will give her a different kind of #energy, which on earth nobody can give her.”
Her kind gesture to my mother was so touching and I still remember it till today. This has become more meaningful to me when every day I hear stories of mother-in-laws who sometimes use their wisdom and power for wrongdoing and forget to embroider values of life and create difficulties for their daughter-in-law in day-to-day life.
As I looked at her, I kept looking at the wedding ring, which she never took off even after my Grandpa passed away, in fact, she wore it as a pendant.
All the time she was busy mending and mending, in fifty years of marriage, with her humble efforts she was busy helping our needy neighbours . Her generation was unique, they valued things and people.
Now I tell my students “Let us turn to our grandmothers and learn how their entire good doings teach us to mend relationships, mend our hearts #repair family wounds, fight for what is worthwhile, and embroider the value of life again.”
