Gone are the days when everybody in the family used to stay together and share the good and bad times together. I come from a middle class family and have grown up in a nuclear family. However my parents always ensured that we (siblings) dont get detached from our roots. Its almost a decade now that I am away from my parents, but manage to spend at least 5-10 days after every 3-4 months. This is not only the case with me, almost 70% of the working class would be in such a situation.
At least one member of each family today would be staying away for his work obligations. The time when Parents require care and support, theres nobody by their side. In contrast they are more concerned about your health, food arrangement, accommodation, office timing etc to ensure that you are happy.
At times I really feel that how have things changed so drastically over the period of just 10 years. Wondering would the younger generation ever be able to witness how a joint family works or would the word "Joint Family" come to them as a surprise !
Nobody at fault here, its our society that has adapted itself to such changes, but not without a cost.
