Savitaben,80 years old lady lives in very small village in India. She is my grandma. Savitaben was born in very rich Indian family. Her father was a business man in small town. Her family strongly believes in Indian tradition and culture as a part of traditional clothing she wears Indian traditional sari every day, also she use to cook lunch and dinner for whole family for years , As a part of cultural activity she spends her half hour in the morning and in the evening for prayer with other family members. Whenever I visit my grand mom’s place she tells me about our culture and tradition, she always gives me an example of our traditional things so I can understand why Indian culture is so rich unique in its very own way.
During her time, what ever she learned about our tradition and culture she continues to transcend down to next generations, for instance we were taught by elder family members that treat guest as a god , serve them and takes care of them as if they are a part of the family itself . Even though we don’t have anything to eat, the guests are never left hungry and are always looked after by the members of the family. Additionally she was taught to give respect to the elders because elders are major component in Indian culture. Elders are the driving force for any family and hence the love and respect for elders comes from within and it’s not artificial. Another lesson that was taught during her child hood is to respect one another and was also taught to help person in who is in need.
