Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.
Is the Indian family system dead?
A friend (let's call him 'X') recently lost his father. He's been living in the US for the last 15 years while his father lived alone in Jaipur - his mother passed away 3 years back.
Few days earlier, I received a frantic call from him at 3 AM - asking me to go & check on his father (84 years) as he was feeling restless.
I went along with few friends & took him to hospital immediately. He had a cardiac arrest followed by multiple organ failure. We got him the best possible treatment, he stabilised & few of his relatives showed up - none of whom was ready to pay any bills, shoulder responsibility etc.
X didn't come to India as he was working on a "multi-million dollar deal" while his dad was in the ICU - BATTLING for his life. Last week, his father passed away - then he came to India for 3 days & went back to work on his deal.
What shook me up was
- His American dream mattered more to him than his ailing father.
- His wife & kids didn't even show up when he passed away. They stayed back in the US - he said "she has a job & kids have school" - unbelievable!
- None of his relatives in the city did anything to help except making a courtesy visit while I and few other friends juggled in & out of hospital, regularly followed up with doctors, took care of expenses & took turns but never left his dad alone till his last breath.
- He himself left India after 3 days - immediately after the baithak - no Asthi Visarjan, none of the other rituals stating that these are all superstitions which we don't believe in.
All along, I've believed that the Indian family values, our rituals and bonding are much better & stronger than anywhere else in the world. But this incident has shaken me to the core!
Where are we heading to as an Indian society and where are our family values disappearing - thoughts are welcome.
