CONFESSION - I AM REALLY AGING!!

Dear Friends,

I am realy touched by the various responses I got on my mail and also the experience i have gone through quite recentely.

I sincerely confess that I have made a mistake of sending a mail which I was really not well planned. I wanted to criticise the way Sawant Brothers dealing with the " New Generation" without considering their aspirations but at the same time I did a mistake of criticising on the next generation.

Funnyly I realised that I have joined the golden Hair group ( Its actually grey hair group of Society, by the way I have completed 40 years this year) who find a reson to critisise the new generation always. I must change this. Belive me no more criticisism. I personally feels that Sawant Foundation is passing through the identity crisis. We some of us feel it should have a good mix of family and Social work together. Some strongly feels we need not mix family issues with trust we must seperate this. I was just ecoching those voices, but I confess again I am not a good writer.

I use to relate to those days when if even Kaka and Tai if shouts at us or de humilitae ( I use to feel and cry those days) my mother or father ( Appa or Aai) never grumbled over it, even never interfered or intervened in that they always were having a feeling that whatever Kaka and Tai is doing will be best for our children. And we know it have proved to be the best they have done to us. When I relate it to the current situation I realise that I can not really even copy 5% of them in my present life. I personally started realising offlet how my parents both Appa, Kaka, Aai and Tai would have paaseed through the struggle of managing with such a huge team and dealing with their moods and aspiration. And sometimes I get very upset or disturb to see that at age of 40 I am not really contributing much to my family growth, either financially or otherwise.

I was experimenting something on their experience last few years but I confess I failed completely even I spoiled and lost what I have with Me!! I only learnd that the relationship is such a delicate fibre that you realy need to learn a art to preserve it. My respect to my parents has really multifold.

When I was doing my graduation I got involved doing some events and activities and we could succesfuly formed IACD. I personally decided to go for the field of social work. Though no body in the family was aware about this profession no body objected to my choice. (this is after doing well in Science field). I was just suggesting that during the college years our friends can devote more time, energy to this foundation and they can give a new face to this. Once we join jobs, strugle for House, Roji Roti and Career it is but obivous that our attention will be less. But again I confess I was anawre about their struggle, competetion they are passing throgh?

Any way as Shrikant and Umesh mentioned in their previous mails, I also has guarntee that this situation will change.

With love and regards
