In the age of globalisation one of the biggest problem there is that nowadays it is very difficult to say that a person will not leave this country. The world is getting smaller day by day and intuitive that a lot of problems are also coming up. One of the problems which I would like to throw light upon the case of parents being left out. As we all know a lot of people today go out of their country for job and it is very difficult to keep parents with them. Sometimes it is because of the expense and sometimes it is the will of their parents not to go to a foreign place at such an old age. Anyways the problem still persist and so I would like to know what they think is the best solution to deal with this problem and do you think old-age homes is a solution I want to such a problem.

Hello,Amitabh! I understand your problem.I don't like to stand against your career.You must see your career first and then see to your as well as to your parent's desire.You can't go with the two,one you must leave.I am a father of three daughters and all are married.They are living with their in-laws.I am now in my seventies and managing myself at my own home.I have to sacrifice my interests for their better future.So you also must go with your career leaving your parents at home.But I don't advice you to leave your parents in a Old Age Home.They never take adequate care as they promise.On the other hand you can arrange some supporting hand in your absence to take care of your parents.thanx.
