What is family? People with different minds living under the same roof top. Yes, I have been living in a joint family. At first I felt annoyed living in joint family because everyone were different. Their thinking, likes, dislikes were different. Sometimes, they agree and disagree over things. Some annoy you, some love you, some talk bad about you at back, some are tempered. We can't change them but no matter how they are, we realise the value of the family either when we are far away or when we lose one of the member in our family.

People living in the family along with their grandparents are blessed beyond anything in this world. Every person has different nature but you know what is interesting? Celebrations. No matter what kind of occasions comes, like birthdays, anniversaries or festivals you get to celebrate together under same roof top with so much fun, excitement and you get to share more memories.
 

The advantage of being in a joint family is that you get siblings in form of a friend. From elder to younger one sypu form a group. It's always a fun when siblings are around. 

Important thing is that no matter how sweet or bitter the person in your family is always have some respect and kindness towards them. Appreciate, love and show gratitude to them.  Because you realise the importance of that person when you lose them. You will miss them and their memories more when they are gone. You will regret the rough times you had with them.

You may go far from your family to study or to work ; you may have a successful career; you may earn more; you may br more rich; or you may have become a big personality but without family these are nothing. If you don't have anybody to share your joys are sorrow with then Im sorry you are not rich. Richness lies in family where you can share your joys and sorrows, where you can get a guide and an advice; where you are trained to follow the right directions, you get support and tend to learn moral values of life.

Until and unless you are living with your family either nuclear or joint, try to make some time to spend with them. You will always have the blessings of elderly people on you even if they are present or not. You will always feel safe and lucky until their blessings are upon you. Always feel blessed and be grateful to your family always.
