Grandparents are considered to be the roof of a family. They guard their family as an umbrella against all odds and Negative impacts and stays beside each of the members during their ups and downs. Grand Parents are a Generation higher than parents and hence they provide proper and appropriate advice to solve a particular problem.

Now, to come to our main topic I need to go back to my childhood. Yes, I was truly blessed by and with grandparents during my childhood from both the paternal and maternal sides of families. Since I was down with symptoms of Hypothyroidism at a very tender age,I lagged behind my fellow friends in grabbing the regular studies that were done in class, Moreover, I was more of incompetent at the earlier classes but the thing that built me from the zero level to a competent was the constant cooperation of my grandparents. He was the person who built my base stronger especially in English by regularly reading me out English stories and conversing in English with me for an hour everyday. Moreover, my grandmother told me stories every afternoon and one afternoon she asked me to tell the story back to her which actually increased my memory and imagination power of telling stories and so in my mother tongue.

I usually stayed with my maternal grandparents as my school was very near to the house but at weekends I surely visited my paternal grandparents where I learnt regarding mythology of India, many facts about Ramayana, life of Rishi Valmiki from my grandfather. Apart from this they were a great companion of all sorts of evening play from badminton to chess. My parents were such who regularly took me to all members of our extended family from both sides and my relation grew well with my parent's uncles. I wish I could spend more and more time with them.

My relationship with my grandparents was more of a companion, a very good friend, an easy-going member who hides my mischiefs from my parents than of a Grandparent-grandchild relation. They are even in their absence my best teachers of life. I get their flavourful part in my life while reading a Ruskin Bond Story that involved his grandparents and their activities.

A Grandparent, not only mine but for each child is a blessing. The person is a combination of experience, knowledge beyond text, love and affection and certainly a companion who teaches while playing. He even plays a significant role in nurturing the child regarding the family History of which the child is a part. He being the witness of growing up of two complete generations and the advancement and upgradation of the surroundings will guide and advise the best for his or her grandchildren and even be more protective in facing the harsh reality during the period of growing up.

So, On the whole, a person having a child should make his child meet his or her grandparents of whichever side possible, it should be made sure that their growth and learning period gets guided by their parents along with their grandparents. Their experience should be counted in every aspect of life.
