Sir,

It was really a heart-touching article by Ballal titled “Time for Family” (SOM dated May 17). More than the article, the impact of the reaction by Dr. Shankar Gopinath was more touching (SOM dated May 25).

In today’s life, we have forgotten the meaning of “spending quality time with family.” We have time for all other activities and our priorities are now shifted to other areas forgetting the fact that we have our personal life with our family.

I am 64 now and after retirement, I am trying my best to spend quality time with my family after realising that I could not spend quality time while I was in service.

I had so many excuses those days for not spending “quality time” with my family. Now I have realised the true value of my life and for this reason the article by Ballal and the letter by Dr. Gopinath touched my heart immediately and gave me immense satisfaction on reading them.

Thank you Star of Mysore for publishing such a wonderful article which, in my opinion has more human value in these days of our routine commercial life!
