    Thank you Sindmani for expressing your views.It is a fact that old people are like children .But when the behavious is wanton, one feels hurt.

    Dear Vedavalli,
    you are correct.There are mothers who feel jealous of their own daughters/DIL or feel happy when they suffer.This may look contrary to the encomia paid to motherhood.But it is a reality.

    Dear Shri Thyagarajan Sir,
    On many occasions reality hurts, when it is far from ideal situation and very close to calamity.Even a psychiatrist or psycho analyst may not be able to cope with the situation. I too was reminded of''Ye tu Brute' while writing this.

    Dear Mira,Thanks for the response.May be they behave like this because of insecurity. But how can a person already separated from her husband, wholly dependent, serving 24x7 tolerate the tortures.If any servant maid is placed in such a situation, she would simply leave the house.Here there was no escape for my sister.She had no go. Amma was fully aware of this and she could use her authority inspite of her biological challenges.The pity is no one ,including myself, was prepared to intervene, lest the situation became worse.On many occasions I used to think that keeping quiet when some atrocity is going on just before our eyes, is worse than being atrocious.

    Human mind is very difficult to understand. Especially in old age , many people in late seventies undergo multiple health issues and take medicines for it. According to psychology their self esteem goes down . So they may criticise people around them , especially their care taker. We have elders in family in late eighties and early nineties. They are very strict and particular about everything. Sometimes critical and judgemental. Yes it is is not EASY, we feel hurt . But it is their inability at the age makes them behave that way. My mom says we don't know if we all would be alive at eighty or ninety. So we need to brush off their criticism and do our duty , one day they would understand our affection.
