Abok :: An Artwork and an Essay by Banti Phurailatpam
My very important person in my life and always has been, my grandmother.It is a world in itself where any old aged woman – who is, or almost, of the age of one’s grandmother – is honourably addressed as “abok” (“abok”, in Manipuri, means “grandmother”).
So we need respect to our grandmother and be polite to your grandmother. Spend time with them.
So we need to care of our grandmother. She has taken care of the family. She has taken great responsibility in bringing me up in a healthy and disciplined way.
But we can learn a lot of things from our grandmother.
She is a polite person who can handle any kind of situation in a very proactive way.
Our grandmother is a great mentor; her teachings to us are very valuable. Only because of her, we have gained good conduct in our life.
But she is a religious lady. But her devotion to religion and God does not disturb rest of the family. our grandmother used to be such a source of joy!
All of us snuggled near her and then she would tell us a story. We learnt some great stories of our scriptures like Mahabharat, Ramayan,folk tale story etc.
We all are thankful to God for such a loving grandmother.
