Our grandparents...our treasure

   One of the most cherished moments of our life are our childhood days...and the most memorable of them are the moments we spent with our grandparents.
    Grandfather's experience and grandmother's home rememedies are exceptional.
    When a child is ill, many a times a mom may fumble but grand mom easily handles the situation. She has been through it all. When mom scolds a child, which is a better safe house than behind the grand mom !!! She even scolds the mom for trying to punish the child for some mistake. There will always be some dish that mom cannot make as good as grand mom. She will remember things that even mom sometimes forgets. Even though she might not know how to make a call, she ll try all means to contact a family member who hasn't reached home at usual time. She wakes up early and sees to it that everything is in place. She wouldn't sleep until everyone has arrived back home. For once, mom can say that-go eat in the canteen today, but you ll never need to worry of food when your grand mom is there. She ll definitely wake up early and give you a tiffin. She helps in hindi, Marathi essay writing. She proudly introduces you to other relatives during a function. And yes, who would take you to the native place, tell stories about her past, and instill moral values without her! She teaches to discriminate between good and bad, right and wrong. She takes the place of the mother when she isn't around! We must have played more in the laps of our grandmothers than our mothers!
   Grandfather...whom you always see as a man of discipline, A man with authority. The whole family needs to listen to your grand dad and he listens only to you. And that's what makes you feel like the king. Others may be afraid of him but you are not! He takes you on a walk in evening. Would show you his office. Would teach you maths. Would give you bundles of money to count. He dreams of you as a respected adult.
   Grandparents will do anything for you. They do it without expecting any favour. All they want is our success and happiness.
   Each one of us is a millionaire since we have a treasure of grandparents.
