TAJ MAHAL

”Darling! Do packing for tomorrow. We have to take our kids to see Grandfather”
“ What  rubbish you are talking about? You will take children to village? They won’t be able to stay there without A.C., even for two days. Moreover , might catch some infection or disease there. He is your father; you goo and meet him. Who is going to stop you?”
He moved alone to village and met his father. The first question asked by his father was—“Where are my grandchildren?”
“ Pita ji! Children have gone for a school  trip”, said he with downcast head.
Father came to realize very well that he too is now a living Taj Mahal of Affection.
