Came across a beautiful story which I wish to share with you all.
Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?" The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes

Hi,
A truly touching message. In today's materialistic world, every individual is too busy to spare some time to care for others. Your message is loud and clear and also reminds us to share some quality time with our near and dear ones.
Best Wishes and keep posting,
Commander Venkatesh Ramanujam.

In the course of sharing, I want to recount my personal experience. I relocated for a new job to a remote area far from my hometown and family members. However, truth be told, it was not solely for monetary gain but for a career opportunity.
Fortunately, a similar opportunity arose near my hometown, prompting me to return immediately. Reuniting with my family has been a source of great comfort, as the time spent away from them was truly difficult for both me and my family.
Thank you, Pinki. It's a very touching post.
Take care...

Dear Pinkii,
When I saw your column, I was reminded of my past. From the very beginning, I have been deeply engrossed in my work. I provided everything for my child, but I didn't spend much time with her. This led to a lack of affection for some years.
To regain that affection, I struggled for many years. Now, I am happy with my daughters, but I missed out on the peaceful days of their early childhood. I am well aware that those days will not return. During that time, even though I didn't have much money, I have remained at the top of my field from the beginning till now.
While I find satisfaction in my job, I lacked satisfaction in my relationship with my children for some years. My advice is to strike a balance between your job and your family.

Dear Mr. Gopalakrishna,
You very rightly said, one must make a balance between professional and family life. Your organization would somehow find your replacement sooner or later according to their requirements, but for your family... for them, you are irreplaceable, and nobody could ever replace your love for them.
Happy living, Mr. Krishna. I hope everybody, after reading this message, starts prioritizing their family lives.
