Putting down the phone, he came back to the room and told Rachna that mom and dad are coming by car at 11 o'clock.

Heard the phone ring but because of laziness kept lying in the quilt. Her husband Rahul had to get up at last. The phone lying in the other room kept ringing.

Who can be so early in the morning who does not even let me sleep, in this irritation he picked up the phone. "Hello, who?" Then hearing the voice from the other side woke up all the sleep.

"Hello Papa." “Son, I haven't seen you for a long time, so we are both coming by the 11 o'clock train. After having lunch together, we will return to the train at 4 o'clock. Ok." "Yes papa, I will come to pick you up at the station."

Putting down the phone, he came back to the room and told Rachna that mom and dad are coming by car at 11 o'clock and will have lunch with us.

The mercury of creation that entered the quilt went up to the seventh sky. “Nobody lets you sleep even on Sundays, now cook food for everyone. Made a complete maid. She got up angrily and entered the bathroom. Rahul was dumbfounded and kept looking at her.

When she came out, Rahul asked "What will you make?" An enraged Rachna replied to Tunak, "I will feed myself." Rahul remained silent and smilingly started getting ready, the station he had to go.

After a while, telling an angry Rachna that he was going to the station to pick up his parents, he left the house.

Rachna was cooking food grumbling angrily.

Irrespective of whether the salt and spices in the dal sabzi are okay or not, just the ladle was being used. After preparing raw cooked food, she started frying parathas reluctantly, some were raw and some were burnt. After all he finished everything.

Taking a breath of leisure, she sat on the sofa and started flipping through the pages of the magazine. All that was going on in his mind was that he had ruined the whole Sunday. Just come now, eat and go back.

After a while the doorbell rang, she got up reluctantly and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, his eyes widened with astonishment and a word could not come out of his mouth.

Not Rahul's, his own parents were standing in front of him, whom Rahul had brought from the station.

Mummy went ahead and shook him, “Hey, what happened. Why are you looking so shocked.

Didn't Rahul tell that we are coming?" As if Rachna has lost her sleep, “No, mummy, he had told but…. Rrr… Rrr. Come on you come inside. Rahul was not able to stop his smile.

Some time passed in talking here and there. After some time, father said, "Rachna, will you keep gossiping or will you feed me something?" Hearing this, it was as if a snake had sniffed the composition. What could she do, the poor woman had to serve half-baked and burnt food prepared by her own hands. Mom and Dad were eating food but there was a question in their eyes for which they were looking for an answer. After all, what kind of food is his daughter, who cooks such delicious food, feeding him today.

Rachna was just eating food sitting with her face down. He could not muster the courage to make eye contact with his parents. After finishing the food, everyone sat in the drawing room. Rahul went out for a while saying that he has some work, he will come now.

As soon as Rahul left, the mother, who had been sitting silent for a long time, said, "Didn't Rahul tell that we are coming?"

So suddenly it came out of Rachna's mouth, "He just said that mom and dad are coming for lunch, I understood that his mom and dad are coming."

What was it then, it didn't take long for Rachna's mother to understand that this was the case.

With a very sad heart, he explained to Rachna, “Daughter, be it us or her parents, you should respect them equally. What about parents, if anyone comes home, happily serve them according to your status. Daughter, the more respect you give to someone, the more love and respect you will get.

You should also respect his parents and relatives as Rahul respects us. No matter what the relationship is, ours or his, never differentiate.

Tears welled up in Rachna's eyes and feeling ashamed, she promised her mother that after today this would never happen again.

Of course we have to think whether this is okay, does this phenomenon happen in 8 out of 10 homes?..

If we do not respect our elders and parents, then who will respect us? We and you too will be old one day, then will we feel good if our children do the same thing with us?.._

No no..!

So let us all together give a new direction not only to the society, nation, country but to the whole world which is our culture.

*Always be happy.*

* What is received is sufficient
