When he came out of the bogie of the electric train he saw her sitting at the bench of railway station. He walked unintentionally straight to her ignoring the announcement behind him, "Doors closing, please stand clear". It was his daily routine to greet her. She was an old lady in her late 60s, left unattended by her family. She had two sons one was in UK and the other was in a different state. Both sons were family persons with their kids and wives, enjoying their married family lives. She was left homeless and alone to live in an old house and spend her remaining life on charity by the government and the sympathy of strangers.
This and many other similar stories can be found around us, what do you think is the reason of it? Does this happen in the societies where people live in joint family system or is it only seen in the countries where people run after the materialistic life? What is the root cause of this situation? Can any one reply and/or suggest the solution?
