LIFE AFTER 50
Presenting good examples to keep SAHMs (stay at home moms) busy when they are above 50 .Till now they did not have time for themselves.but now when children are settled away thay have plenty of it. Lets follow the examples and do something productive instead of gossiping or watching saas bahu serials. I'm sure this will be more interesting .
This week our motivator is Mrs. Khurana. Without a degree in library science , she is a good librarian.
Mrs. Khurana used to buy books instead of chocolates for her 3 children and this way, inculcated a passion for reading among them. They were all voracious readers as teenagers and spent all the pocket money and the money they got on birthdays or from relatives on books. Mrs. Khurana recalls with a smile how her children would animatedly discuss their collection with one-another and read every volume at least thrice. There were sentiments and fond memories attached with the numerous volumes her kids left behind when they went off to college and later settled in other places for work, and so Mrs. Khurana could not bring herself to get rid of them. The vast collection ranged from picture books, alphabets and number books, nursery rhymes, story books for all ages, puzzles and games, encyclopedias, classics, novels of authors like Jeffery Archer, John Grisham, Agatha Christie and many others.
Mrs. Khurana then decided to do something useful with her prized possessions, which were gathering dust in the store- she decided to start a reading club for the children of her colony. She set about arranging the books according to their readers' age.
With the help of her neighbors and women from the colony, she is running a very popular library and reading club. Children have to pay a small amount of money, which Mrs. Khurana uses to buy more books. She has strict rules for the young members of her library- they must return books on time and must take care not to write in them or spoil them. If a book is torn, the child responsible for it must tape it together or have it bound. People also donate books to the library, and there are quite a few volumes that the retired members of the colony borrow and read.
Mrs. Khurana is doing a wonderful job that keeps her both busy and happy. It is not necessary that you have to be highly educated, have professional degrees or fluency in English to have a great job!
