Unconditional Love

Dear Friends,

We all know unconditional love is got from one's parents as a matter of course and most times it is also taken for granted.

In a Tamil TV serial 'Tendral' which is about the struggle of a young girl to do her engineering at any cost and what all she has to undergo to achieve that is what the story line is all about. The father who does not like this daughter now starts liking her a lot and takes her to a garment shop to buy her new clothes as her college is about to start. This is the first time he is buying her clothes out of love and affection. Seeing this particlar episode reminded me of my own two sisters.

The eldest one is a very affectionate type and treats my youngest sister as her own daughter though she is younger by only 8 years. I remember how the eldest would take the youngest to shops in T.Nagar and buy her good sets of clothes to wear to college, then to office once she got employed and the for her marriage. This kind of love is pure gesture without pre-conditions. It comes from the heart.
It makes both happy to be able to do for another and for the other to recieve it.

When I recall such beautiful and unforgettable moments, I feel we have to be born in such close knit families to experience such unconditonal love. We are blessed because we are born in certain families where all are there for one another. It takes some effort on the part of every member in such family to give our love unconditionally so that there is happiness in the family circle.

Cheers.
