Every human is incomplete without a family. A family means to have a man, his wife, his kids, and his parents; all are living together. All the family members share equal parts while sharing the responsibilities within the family.Families boost our confidence and make us feel loved. They are the pillars of our strength who never fall instead keep us strong so we become better people. We learn the values of love, respect, faith, hope, caring, cultures, ethics, traditions, and everything else that concerns us through our families.
The family relationships are not always easy, but they are important bonds and it is worth while to go that extra mile to preserve relationships with in the family .Admittedly, no family is perfect. we all have skeletons in our cupboards. Some times our relatives may drive us crazy and often there may be unresolved issues involving hurt feelings and even jealousy. All of us deal with dysfunctional family relationships on some level or the other.But we should not allow the family to drift away and neither we should succumb to excuses that we have our own individuals to live.
Some even goes to the extent of saying that we must free ourselves from the entanglements of family life, if we are to retain our individuality.Today, the problem of keeping the family togetherness seems to be even more acute and urgent, because of increased national or global mobility, family members often move further they grew up in. and further away from the communities . They lose touch with kith and kins. Family histories are lost and with it the delight and pain of shared memories and shared moments of love and givings.
Hence, the importance of family reunion is profound. Generally weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and even funerals, congregations, Hawans and other social, religious occasions, when families assemble together. The practice of holding family reunions is the best way to generate a feeling of togetherness among branches and generations of family members. At such moments of togetherness, family feel close bounds as they participate in organised activities and partake of meals, designed especially for those occasions. Surely one can not over look the importance of family reunions.They establish healthy family relationships and are means of sharing family memories for every one involved.
When we are planning a family reunion, we are adding on to the narrative of family history and creating family memories for every one involved.
Reunions of families provide a life line of hope, strength and even potential opportunity through net working with other family members. For alienated, reunions help establish ties broken by time, distance and life,s busy agenda. For senior family members, these are occasions to pass on the wisdom of years to the young. they are the occasions to demonstrate new things, new energy and other things.
At present greatest problem of the nation is the continuing decline in family values and sense of family unity. There are many things we need to do as a community and as well as nation to reverse this trend. One of them is to continue the strengthen the tradition of family reunions which has taken hold over the last couple of decade. These gatherings can provide significant personal enrichment and perspective. Can any of us afford not to cultivate the bonds with our relatives,kiths and kins, which define us, help us to sustain us and transmit our heritage and pride from generation to generation.
I Kundan Kashmiri, your obedient and Sevak request you all to strengthen and reunion your families.
