11 Reasons Why Indian Grand-Parents Are The Best

Photo: Letting Go of Control

Many have a problem of letting go of control. This results in anxiety, restlessness and it sours relationships.

Wake up and see, are you really in control? What are you in control of? Perhaps a tiny part of your waking state! Isn’t that so?

You are not in control when you are sleeping or dreaming. You are not in control of thoughts and emotions coming to you. You may choose to express it or not, but they come to you without your prior permission! You realize that most of the functions of your body are not in your control, and the same for your life and the whole universe. Similarly, do you think you are in control of all the events in your life or in the world? That is a joke!

When you look at things from this angle you need not be afraid of losing control, because you have none! Whether you realize it or not, when you let go of your sense of control that is when you truly relax. Your identification of being somebody does not let you relax totally and it keeps your domain limited.

11 Reasons Why Indian Grand-Parents Are The Best

1. Their eyes light up every time they see you.

Everyone in the world would feel a bit happier if they could see themselves through the eyes of their grandparents.

2. They hug you like you’re the most precious thing in the world.

They’d throw away ten fortunes if only it meant spending 10 minutes with you.

3. They stuff you full of the tastiest treats.

They want nothing but the best for their “jigar ka tukdas.”

4. What’s more, you get fed by the only chef in the world who can beat your mum’s cooking.

Your mum’s mum.

5. Every time you meet them, they talk really fondly of your childhood.

You can tell how much they miss those times when you look into their eyes and see the five year old you reflected back.

6. It’s great fun to share memories with them.

Isn’t it great when they talk about their own childhood? How back then, everything was cheaper, simpler and a lot more fun?

7. They receive any gift or gesture from you with unbridled joy.

And they make you feel as if you gave them the most precious thing in the world.

8. Looking through photos of their youth is awesome.

Looking at all those black and white and sepia toned photos of their youthful exploits, you can't help but feel proud of that in their heyday, your grandparents were pretty cool.

9. When your parents take you to task, they’re always on your side.

“Bachcha he toh hai!”

10.They have a life-time’s worth of wisdom to share with you.

Be it relationship problems or career issues, they’ve got tips and advice on everything. A fool learns from his own mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. A really wise man learns from the words of his grandparents.

11. And when you’re about to head back home, they sneakily palm you 501 Rupees and say, “Enjwaye.”
