Asara Home, Bhopal
The parent party has started from today. At present some people are busy going to the old age home in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh. These people are coming to seek a sign of their parents. These are the same people whose parents died years ago. At that time when he was informed, he did not even come for the last rites. But now he has to donate pind to his father. Tarpan has to be offered to them. In such a situation, some verses of the poet easily come to mind.
This poet has written that ‘My son became mad after reading four books, left me in an old age home and ran away, the plant which I had watered all my life thinking it was a rose, grew up and turned into a thorn. Acacia, gave me sweet rivers, which I gave as a gift, I do not know why his eyes watered. According to Radha Chaubey, Manager of Asara Old Age Home, Bhopal, this situation is seen every year during the Patru Paksha at this old age home. During these 15 days people come in big vehicles and inquire about their parents, requesting that if there is any memento of their parents, it should be offered to them.
Even after giving the information, they did not come to perform the last rites
According to Radha Chaubey, the memorials of the elders who are here are also given, but surprisingly, these are the descendants who did not even come to cremate their parents. Then the Ashram arranged for the funeral of the elders and the Ashram also performed their last rites. Now after all these years people have remembered their parents and are circling here to ask for this token. He said that an old man died years ago. Now his son has come here to ask for slippers.

People do not come to death to save money
He says that his father appears in his dreams every day and without slippers. Similarly, the director of Apna Ghar Old Age Home says that many people do not come after getting information about illness or death because they have to spend money for the funeral, but later they definitely come to ask for a sign. In fact, they fear that the spirit of the dead may begin to haunt them. At present, there are 53 elderly people living in Bhopal’s Sri Hari Old Age Home, 24 in Apna Ghar Old Age Home, 85 in Asara Old Age Home, 22 in Anandham Old Age Home and 18 in Yashoda Old Age Home.
