First off, I absolutely hate the movie Bhagban. Its a horrible movie. And I can't stand Amitabh Bachan singing romantic songs over the phone.

And I am very annoyed at people who leave their parents in old age homes, never to see them again. Of course, sometimes the homes are a nice place for the seniors - gives them company while fulfilling all their needs. So, abandon them - No. But to keep them in an old age home for their own good, I guess is acceptable.

Personally, I would never leave my parents in an old age home. I love them too much to do that.



see u are stereotyping old homes as concentration camps.. is a bad idea.. its a place where the old folks form a world of their own and have lot of sycho-social activtties......

and besides amitabh only govnda looks good singing over a phone....😆

Perhaps once we reach a certian age we should have a right to die peacefully rather than putting up in unwanted places. Personally a retirement home with your own space is pretty good n fun. But problem is once we are bed ridden or in very bad health life will be one hell of a suffering.



what "" certain age" do you have in mind.....😆...

Haila, where am I sterotyping? I said that its wrong for people to leave them there, thinking that they are free of anymore responsibilities. But in the bold, I do say that nice old homes give some senior citizens a chance to interact with others, fulfills their needs and gives them company.

Poori post toh par liya karo Qwerty ji, criticize karne se pehle. 😆

And Govinda .... ughh, another one I can't stand.

More than old age homes or retirement homes, I am more against the idea of abandoning parents when you no longer need them. Personally, I would never put my parents in an old-age home. Agreed, with our busy schedules, we hardly have time for our parents. But we can make time if we want. I do and I am sure all of us do.
In India, old age homes have a bad reputation. And are often considered dumping-ground for parents. There are many housing complexes which specifically cater to senior citizens, offering them all the necessary requirements, with the comfort of staying in their own home. Why not opt for that.
