Taking care of the senior citizens and extending love and support to them is part of the Asian Culture and it is the foundation of many traditional beliefs. Today most people would fi nd that they do not have the time to take care of their elders at home due to work or just peer pressure. Hence many of them may feel neglected, hurt and lonely sitting at home. Sometimes the lonely feeling and age-related health problems engulf them and at times they could even behave like a child - stubborn and non co-operative. This is not their fault but to a large extent it is the contribution from the immediate environment which makes them respond that way.

Keeping your older family members happy and giving them love and care is not just part of lifestyle and culture but it’s the only way anyone can show gratitude and thank them for whatever positive contributions they have made in the lives of the younger generation.
