The Ones .

It is very easy to call someone a mad person.
And if we are called the same....we feel irritated and then,  people say
"Hence proved! Look at your mad behaviour,  you're mad ..."

Never label anyone with the label you never would want to be called out as.

Shrishta aunty wasn't mad either, but a little old and agitated with the passing age and incapability of not being understood as before.
And so, she was labelled 'mad' , not only by the colony people but her own also.

Do
We really
Understand
Our ageing parents
???

Or
We are
Just too
Busy
Playing ourselves
And underestimating
The ones, who made us differentiate between
UNDERSTOOD  and  UNDERESTIMATED .
