I am a science teacher in a government school. I am very lucky to have Mrs Mathur, my immediate neighbour. Mrs Mathur is a very good, mature, old, wise lady. She is a single mother of five grown-up kids.
She raised five kids single-handedly, and her kids were her whole #world.
She was working as a teacher in school before marriage.
She always thought that her kids were above her # career and social life. Ultimately, her whole life moved in circles of #motherhood duties. Now her #kids have grown up and are doing very well in their respective #professions. They do visit her whenever they get time. She also visits them whenever she gets #opportunity to do so.
She tells me, "Madam, now my kids are out of the house and I am alone. I am #struggling to find out who I am?"
I suggested that Mrs Mathur conduct Crochet classes for the community of our building. I said," This art has many dimensions. It is a creative art. It does not require much money either. This art helps old people in activating acupressure points of the body."
Mrs Mathur liked my suggestion. Now she conducts crochet classes in the community hall of our building. She charges a little fee to conduct the same. Community ladies very fondly learn this old #craft. These classes are giving Mathur aunt #fame and some # financial help. It is a win win situation. Mathur aunty and her children are happy. I am also happy. Senior community ladies are happy. Everyone involved in this activity is getting a feeling of #satisfaction.
With the efforts of Mrs Mathur, the crochet community has increased. It has become vast and supportive, offering opportunities to connect with others who share their passion for crochet and learn from the experiences of others who know the craft. Young girls of our building are learning some tricks of Mathematics in topics like permutations combination through crochet classes.
Studies have shown that crocheting can be a form of therapy, helping with mental health conditions and life events such as grief or chronic illness.
Moral-involving community in positive activity is a satisfying experience.
