Reflections Entry

From the day I decided to participate in the ‘Wow Reflection Contest’ I was pondering what could be the best topic to write about. I was sitting on my couch thinking about the word “WOW” and the reflection contest. That was the moment in my thoughts I saw the reflection of the word “WOW”!’’ Ding !‘’I got my topic the word “MOM” was clear enough visible in the reflection……..

MOM
WOW


So I decided to write about a true story of a son and his love for his mom. Several hundreds of years ago, once upon a time a boy, 24, name Shravan Kumar decided to fulfill his blind parents dreams to go to pilgrimage. Sharvan was very poor barely able to earn two meal a day. Taking your parents on a long voyage to pilgrimage was way too expensive! beyond his dream. But his love for his “MOM” did not stop him. He had come up with a brilliant idea to carry their both blind parents on his shoulder. He made a balance with baskets on each side to carry their parents in each basket (please see picture). And he set forth on foot on a long journey. On the way Shravan will stop in the night, make food, feed his blind parents, massage their feet, and then go to sleep on the bare floor. The journey starts again next morning and continued for one year. Finally Sharvan was happy that he was able to fulfill his blind “MOM”’s dream.

“WOW” !!! wonder if it’s a true story? Don’t believe it? Keep on reading.

Even now a son decided to do the same for his blind “MOM”. The news coverage in the famous Indian newspaper “The Telegraph” is attached.

Moral: Can we all learn from this action to care for our parents who brought us in this world, raised with all the love and care?
