I have always been in touch with my maternal grandparents. I have lived most of my childhood with my paternal grandmother. I have quite a couple of memories with all of them. I haven't ever met my paternal grandfather, he had passed away two years before my parents had gotten married. <\/p>
My paternal grandmother and I always used to hangout in her room: playing and betting on the chances of winning the games \u201cVaikhunta Paali\u201d and \u201cAshta Chamma.\u201d These games that we used to play together are one of my finest memories with her. I remember watching her solve every other Sudoku puzzle available at home, reading every other book that she used to find. If it was a language that she could read, she used to read things out for me and if it was a language that I could read, she used to ask me to read things out for her. At that point of time, all of what surprised me included the fact that someone so elder to me who didn\u2019t have to read anything and just had to rest, had been reading everything that she could get her hands on and someone like me who had a pile of books left to be read, hadn\u2019t moved out of the bed to even touch them. <\/p>
I used to hear from my parents that despite being married at the age of 8, she had completed her education with my grandfather\u2019s support who always believed that everyone regardless of gender must be educated if the right resources are within their reach. She had worked as the Head Of the Department of Telugu Literature in Queen Mary's College, Chennai. She's one of all the strong women I've heard of and have met. We lost her on 8th April 2016. Every time I try draping a Saree, I get reminded of how she used to stare at me with a grin on her face while I had stood trying to drape a Saree on my 11 year old self. <\/p>
My maternal grandparents are my go-to squad during every vacation. My grandfather was my partner in crime. He used to learn computer basics from me while I used to tease him away saying \"I'll forget whatever little I know if I sit down to teach you.\" I remember going for walks with him in the lanes of Bangalore, robbing him off his wallet for all the chocolates I could find at the nearby store. He used to sit down with me to narrate imaginary film-scripts that we would work on in the near future, since I wanted to become an actress and he wanted to direct me. (Yes. I am already embarrassed enough.) My last funniest yet sweetest memory with him is of when I had taken him out for a date at a nearby restaurant and had ordered a black coffee. He freaked out looking at the price and screamed, \"200 for a coffee decoction? Are you out of your mind? Your grandmother will make it for free. LET's GO BACK HOME!\" I miss his weird quirks a lot! He had expired on 9th September 2017. <\/p>
I surely was annoyed a lot when they were around me but I only realized how it's a cycle of remembering things about each other and how I love them just as much as I got annoyed by them. They remember parts of our childhood that we grow up to forget and we remember parts of their old age that they can't seem to remember. <\/p>
I have my maternal grandmother with me now and I am extremely fond of her and the food that she cooks- equally! I can go on talking about her, my fights with her and my love for her but then, all of this would make another whole new article. All of that gets summed up in this one statement- I love her just as much as she hates my habit of eating on the bed! <\/p>
Here are the pictures of my paternal and maternal grandparents respectively.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1566299534884","data":"5d5bd1b5aba80"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1566299534885","data":"5d5bd21e2bf81"}]
The love and care I experienced from my grandparents are always peculiar. <\/p>
Bedtime stories which were recited by my grandma are the best. Most of the stories tell us how to change ourselves towards society. My grandparents were the one who taught me \"TO CHANGE THE WORLD, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOURSELF FIRST\".<\/p>
My granny makes the best desserts. Her dishes are so delicious that makes my mouth watery with the aroma of the dish itself. Whenever I get into trouble they covered me with their love. My grandpa takes care of me and motivates me whenever I feel dispirited. My grandparents also taught me \"love yourself and spread the love\". <\/p>
My granny is in her 60's, yet she can cook for 12-15 members. My grandpa is a retired doctor still he is fit and healthy. He plays badminton, he knows 6-7 different languages. My grandparents make my life beautiful. They are my support, strength, and weakness.<\/p>
\nGrandparents are our source of lost culture and custom. Their perspective of understanding things and making them accomplished is different. <\/p>
So my goal is to <\/p>
\"KEEPING THEM SAFE AND HAPPY UNTIL THEY ARE WITH ME\".\n<\/p>"}]
<\/p>
Ever since we were young, a smile on their face always vanished all our panic and agony .<\/p>
The warmth of kiss from them always soaked us in ocean of joy. <\/p>
These moments are precious and valuable than few clusters of cold riches.<\/p>
The simplicity and profundity of their messages were always reliable and relevant to the situation. The levels of sarcasm and humour they carry with them is unmatchable, twinkling good vibes everywhere around. <\/p>
Each and every emotion from them portrayed a unique way of loving every individual in family.<\/p>
Schools taught us morals and ethics but out from those walls they were the real tutors who always insisted us to be on the right path.<\/p>
If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies. How different our ideals of beauty would be! Culture, traditions and heritage. What is this all about? It's about an old soul that believes in chivalry, romance and peace spread by love.<\/p>
From our first steps to their last steps they had long cherished a secret fantasy about our future. <\/p>

In the recent past, my mom, who\u2019s a teacher has been cheerless while expressing the responses when her students were asked about their grandparents. Few say, they met their grandparents many years ago. Others replied they haven\u2019t met them till date cause they stay in some other cities. My mom then said, \u201cMorale has taken a new hit. When asked what their favorite past time with their grandparents is, the whole pondering goes to vain cause they are clueless about that bonding.\u201d<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1566295274352","data":"
That discussion for two minutes has thrown me to about 12 years back. As I recall, the only thoughts that flashed in my head were with my grandparents. A blast from past of how every morning I used to wake up and my grandparents were part of each and every step of my routine; when my grandmother used to brush my teeth, while my grandfather used to start ironing my speck white school uniform. As I go to dress up, my granny used to rush into the kitchen, prepare breakfast as my grandpa arranges the table and the side dishes. My grandma and mom used to continue packing my lunch bag. Meantime, grandpa attentively tucks a napkin in my collar before feeding me. He then ties my tie. Just before sending me to the battlefield, he used keenly polish my shoes and wishes me a good day. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1566295274353","data":"
Years passed by as I reluctantly stopped myself from being spoon-fed by them. Unlike me, they never stepped back though I shifted out or eventually fell into a hustling routine. Every tiny effort they made to be a part of my life reflected nothing less than unconditional love. They showed or keep showing many forms of their cathartic gestures of love that seem endless to express. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1566295274354","data":"
A big shout-out to everyone who never knew the touch of their grandparents. Experience the exclusive relationship where there are no conditions, no expectations and no necessity of thinking about your overloaded schedule. If you do not, you're missing out a lot. Overcome the hesitation that has plagued you for many years and cherish some moments with them filled with unconditional love. <\/p>"}]
MY GRANDPARENTS\r\nIn the current scenario , we find more of nuclear families and less of joint families. It is saddening that even some of us don\u2019t want our grand \u2013 parents to stay with us. Is it right ?\r\nI would say no, it is not right to keep our grand-parents far away from us .There are several reasons why we shouldn\u2019t but the major reason is that we should take care of them as they are old and feeble.Thats what I do- I take care of my grand-parents!\r\nMy grandfather, MR. RAGHAVA RAO is a 73 year old man still brimming with as much energy as a teenager. My grandmother, MRS. SUDHA RAGINI is a 72 year old lady who is very much creative. My Grandma is my best \u2013 friend in my family. I do a lot many things with her , right from cracking jokes to doing artwork .I help her with daily chores and in cooking.She is the best family member and I share all secrets with her . She is good in making best out of waste and new recipes. I and my Grandmother together try solving puzzles given in the newspapers and we read out stories. My Grandma is very supportive in whatever I do and guides me to do the right things . \r\n My Grandfather worker in the accounts department of HCU and he is a very renouned person . He retired in the year 2006 . He helped the society in various ways like donating blood to the needy,teaching the poor children , donating things to Government schools , etc. He also educated a tea shopkeeper to pass 10th grade and intermediate privately. My Grandfather is a very sensitive man. When I talk to him , he improves my G.K a lot . I like to travel to historical places with my Grandfather as he is a good tourist guide.\r\nI would like to say that our Grandparents do a lot many things for us and we should show gratitude towards them . Also, moments that we share with them are the most memorable ones.\r\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1566265279145}]
My grandfather was an ordinary-looking man with extra-ordinary qualities and significance. The superhero of my childhood with silver hair and a golden heart. He was the person who carved my character and taught me ethics. I was bought up under his guidance for what I am grateful for today as he had a huge impact on my life.<\/p>
When I was five years old due to some vulnerable conditions my parents have left me with my grandparents and went to some other place for a year or two. This phase of my life is unforgettable. The care and affection he showered upon me were immense. No winter, no spring, no summer he was always ready to take care of my each and every minute thing.<\/p>
One incident I want to share is that one day, I was suffering from ear pain and was unable to sleep. It was midnight around 12:30 and was raining cats and dogs but still, my grandpa holding me up in his arms carried me to the house of a nearby doctor in the village knocked his door and was given the medicine as well as ear drops. That great care and love were his.<\/p>
\n\nTears roll down my cheeks while writing these sentences as he left this world physically five months ago but he is always attached to me emotionally in my heart and my brain. He always wanted to see me in a good position reaching great heights but I'm sure that he is going to bless me from heaven and would definitely feel happy when I make his dream come true.<\/p>
''If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again''.<\/i><\/p>
So, for this World Senior Citizen's Day<\/b>(i.e. 21st august 2019) take out some time and give it to your grandparents as at this age their heart really feels to spend some time with you. And definitely, you are going to regret in life when they are no more because you only get to know the value of a person when they leave you.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1566265662852","data":"5d5b510add960"}]

\nMy grandmother is out of the ordinary she fits into my generation like it\u2019s hers. <\/p>
In bundles she sends out her endless love making my friends her own.<\/p>
\nShe is a fierce lion always ready to protect her cubs from the dangers of the world, she walks with confidence and boldness and shines bright everywhere she goes.<\/p>
\nEvery story she shares has a impact, life without her wouldn\u2019t be the same,\n Sacrifice and love is what she lives by, <\/p>
Her elegance is immeasurable, with a smile that reaches the ends of the world anyone who knows her will talk about her heart of gold and will be jealous that they can\u2019t call her their own. <\/p>
Joy, laughter and love surrounds her like a cloud of fire she guards us all and she is my fearless grandmother!!\n<\/p>"}]
Grandparents play a prominent role in our lives. Many working parents leave their kids at their grandparents while at work. To these kids, their grandparents are no less than their parents. On that, we can learn a lot from them given their experiences.\nThere are many kids today who don't appreciate the blessing grandparents are because they think they are too demanding. But are they? I don't think after the hardships of life that they faced they deserve to be taken care of after, I believe they have earned the right. \u00a0\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1566242471590},{"id":1566242716348,"type":"img","data":"5d5af79db91ea"},{"data":"
The relationship between grandparents and a grandchild is a special one. The bond is a sacred one. When I was younger the first person I went to whenever I needed someone was my paternal grandmother. My paternal grandfather, he used to come and pick me up from school every day and it was our time and its specialty cannot be described in words. My maternal grandparents are no less we visit them only on holidays but it is special. My maternal grandmother used to give us the best advice when in need. My maternal grandfather is better than any encyclopedia when it comes to any topic of history.\nI lost my maternal grandmother due to cancer when I was a kid but luckily enough I do have quite fond memories of her. I lost my paternal grandfather last year and I still miss him like crazy maybe more than others because I was kinda his favorite.\n\u00a0The time we spend with our grandparents should be cherished because we don't know how long we have with time. If there is someone who could love as much as our parents those are our grandparents. So we must respect them, love them as much as possible<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1566242664412}]

Gravity always pulled Shibin towards space, he was born with curiosity like many of us and knowing how different things function and work is what intrigue\u2019s him. <\/p>
\u201cI always loved space and found it fascinating\u201d, said Shibin knowing how the earth was formed, learning about different planets the different possibilities its very exciting, he always had an eye to capture beyond what we can see and this sparked his love for astrophotography.<\/p>
At the age of 16 he started capturing different images and his love for astrophotography only kept increasing.<\/p>
\nAstrophotography is not as easy as it sounds but with all the educational resources that is available today the complexity of it is reduced, Shibin says there are a lot of aspects involved to take out a good picture and like any skill it takes time and effort to get exceptional at it, he educates himself by watching different videos. <\/p>
\nA lot of people influence him but one person he admires is Peter Mckinnon who is one of the best photographer. <\/p>
An essential gear for him is using a tripod and zoom lens he also focuses on editing his pictures because its just as important as capturing it. <\/p>

Grandparents are fun to be around. They spill pearls of wisdom but also fill our lives with an abundance of love and care. The feeling of being around them cannot be described through words. The affection shed by them is unmatched. They share a special bond with me. They not only taught me good habits and moral values, but it also comes to have unlimited fun. My growth was incomplete without them. They've taught me valuable lessons in life. They know very well about life because they suffered the whole life from childhood. It is the primary reason that they know everything compared to us. They've never shown me the wrong way in life,\u00a0supported me in every situation and always gave me advice and guided every step in my life.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0My grandparents are so lovable, caring, mature and patient.

They make all efforts for not to seem old. Every day they do yoga and walk for an hour for their good health. They have a young heart and do not seem to look so old. I admire them because they are so healthy and active throughout the day. They also teach me\u00a0yoga so that I can have healthy skin and body. At this age also they have strong desires towards leading an enjoyable house. My grandparents are filled with kindness bonding and family bonding. They are very modern, yet firmly believe in family values.\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I have a big joint family, My grandparents play a significant role in the great love and intimacy in the entire family.
