Why daily phone call to your parent is important?
My father calls me every day at around 9 pm.
One fine day, just for a change, I called him a bit earlier at around 8:30 pm.
Mom took the call and we talked for few minutes. Then I asked:
Me: Where is Dad?
Mom: He has just returned from office and is getting fresh. Wait. I am calling him.
Me: No, he must be hungry then. You both have your dinner first, then I will call you again after an hour.
Mom: No, He never eats before talking to you all.

Me: No, he must be hungry then. You both have your dinner first, then I will call you again after an hour.
Mom: No, He never eats before talking to you all.
I couldn't reply for few seconds. I was amazed. This is their love towards me.
Sometimes, all what our parents need is to listen to our voices. We can never understand how lonely they feel without us. They have to celebrate most of the festivals without us. Our presence is the only thing which can make them happy. But, we are not there with them (because of various reasons). It makes them sad but they don't make us realise that.

So, this is the least possible thing we can do to make them happy.
For all my friends who stay away from their parents in another city because of job/studies Talk to them daily (And don't wait for them to call us every time. Sometimes, you can also call and feel that happiness in their voices)

7 short stories shared by Satya Nadella [ CEO Microsoft ]
*LOOKING BACK*
I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, “Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile."
*LOVE CONQUERS PAIN*
After I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face.

*TOGETHERNESS*
As my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said, “I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”

*AFFECTION*
I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.

*JOY*
When I witnessed a 27-year-old cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter’s antics, I suddenly realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again.

*KINDNESS*
A boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving he said, “I hope you feel better soon.”

*SHARING*
I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe. He said he hadn’t eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy. Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating. The first thing the man said was, “We can share it.”

I woke up today, having dreamt early morning at 4 AM. I was in the biggest DLF Mall of India looking to buy a pair of socks and a neck tie .
As I walked in, I noticed a sweater with a price tag of RS 9000 .Next to the sweater were a pair of Jeans for Rs.10000 .The socks were Rs.8000 ! and Tie for astonishing 16,000 /-
I went looking for a salesperson and found one in the watch Dept
He was showing a man a Rs. 225/- Rolex watch . I looked in the glass case and there was a 4 carat diamond ring also on sales for Rs.95/-
Shocked I asked the salesperson "How could a Rolex watch sell for Rs.225/- ? ,and a cheap pair of socks sell for Rs. 8000/-"?
He said "Someone slid into the store last night and changed the price tag on everything ".
"Everyone is confused , people are acting like they have lost their sense of value". "They are willing to pay lots of money for things of little value ,and very little money for things of great value "
"Its like they don't know what is really valuable and what's not " . I hope we get the price tags back-on right soon.
I really pity , seeing people paying way too much for things of little value "

I woke up startled & confused and thinking since then ...
*Maybe our life is like this dream*
*Maybe someone slid into our lives and changed the price on everything*
*Maybe they marked up the value of competition, position, titles, fame , promotion, show-off , money and power* !
...And put a huge discount on the value of *Honesty, Respect, Ethics, Righteousness, Happiness , Family , Relationships, Peace of mind , Contentment , Love , Knowledge , Kindness , Friendships*...
Maybe We are all living this dream...
*I hope...... we wake up, well in-time*
