This was not only the story of Kalayani, there are lots of mothers like Kalayni all over world who don't get proper respect from their own son's at older age. We forget our parents completely after getting marriage and abandoned them abused them. But we forget that when we grew old same thing will happend with us.

Our parents sacrifice their whole life to take care of us , educate us properly so that we can get proper job and help us in each and every step of our life. But many of us forget humanity and we behave very brutally in their older aged.

I want to share a poetry about my parents.

For me my parents are no one
but omnipotent almighty of heaven.
My parents brings me in this beautiful world
and slogged day and night for me
to provide me foods, cloths and education.
I cannot pay your debt
But I always try my best
to prove that I am your son.
I always want you as my parents
in each and every birth of mine.
