They've done enough for many years, without asking the same from anyone.
They've worked beyond hours to fulfil every tiny wish for their family. They've cared
enough to sacrifice their secret dreams to shape other things—perhaps a smile
on the little ones with a family package to Shillong, even if it meant not buying a new
car. They've spent a lifetime pushing their children to be nothing but the best.
They've forgotten a rude word once heard and have let go of old baggage too.
Only the ones with a giant heart can afford
to be this way. It's time for us to shape
our hearts as big as theirs.
So let in the senior citizens of our society
to Rukmani Amar Aangan—a serene and
loving home for elders in Kolkata. It's time
to spend some thought and gift them
a never-gone smile.
