I Am Happy Without Kids

One day, while discussing my product promotion, I just happened to ask one of my reputed clients about his children whereabouts. It was part of our job to know the client well for further promotion of our products.

He replied plainly, “Sorry, I don’t have kids.”

The color of my face changed and I regretted to have delved into the question.

I apologized profusely for my question.

Very boldly, he said, “Why you are feeling so sorry? I am happy that I don’t have kids.”

“Sorry Sir, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I didn’t ask deliberately, I was ignorant.” I apologized once more.

“OH, Madame, relax. No need to apologize. I really mean my words. I am happy that I do not have kids.” He said.

It made me curious and I tried to enter the no entry zone of his emotion, but I had to because many queries erupted in my mind and his answers could only satiate my mind.

“Why Sir? Why do you say so? Can you share Sir?” I said sheepishly.

“In day to day life, I meet my friends and relatives and find them disturbed just because of their children. Some have complained that their children don’t take their care nor do they enquire about their welfare or whereabouts. Some stay with them but treat them badly n avoid them. At least, in the later age of life, I am happy, free from these expectations n anxiety n you will be surprised that we both don’t have any major complications and I find the reason simple that we don’t have any botherations….so, relax Madame; do not blame yourself for questioning me. Many People question me and my Bindaas reply leaves people surprised in bewilderment.” He said.

I was speechless. Somewhere, he was right. Some people have breathed their last in expectation of their children returning to them. When one sees the pain around then the people’s perception changes.

I disagree Nandhini. I believe other cultures should learn from India to keep the family integrated.It's sad that people of India are trying to adapt to cultures which are not amicable. Family means helping n b caring.

The harsh realities of today's life where we are heading towards hyper globalization and merging our beautiful and traditional cultures with that of others and in the process neglecting the fabric of family and its true values! A very nice story!

first I would really like to appreciate that gentleman's attitude. Everybody make choices according to their experiences in life.
Secondly would like to tell you that your articles have something so magnetic and so connecting. And your words have soul.
