People think that age is grown up, but I say no, it is not.

"Mother" the word where every person stops for a while, memorizes some sweetest memories & can express himself without keeping any secrecy. "Mother" is the only secured place where every person can take shelter from the sorrows and grievance of the cruel world. But now a days what we see? We don’t want to spend our valuable time for this happiness.

We the young and working class of our society claim that we are working to create a better future and a better society for our next generation. Claiming this we forget about the people who created the present we are living in now. We forget about the contribution of our last generation and the sacrifices they meant for us. In support of which now we can declare that we are working for our next generation. If we are really working for our next generation, aren’t we teaching them to do the same thing with their ancestors?

As we move through the twenty first century the most dramatic change in population is in the increase of elderly people and lack in their social support. This causes a more stressful life in the old age. As we claim that we work for the society then elderly people is the most important part our society. Because of their experience and support we are able to establish ourselves in this world.

In the developed countries we want to get rid of our duties & responsibilities by sending them to old age home & then by visiting once in a month. Let us look back in our past; according to our traditional Bengali culture all our families use to live jointly. Now a day the practice of living jointly is being extinct. People rather prefer to live individually. Due to our competitive life, living separately is being practiced more. This causes frustration and less social support for our old aged people. In some cases it is also seen that these precious people of our society are being neglected very much by their family, some families often thinks that they are a burden for our modern and fast living life.

Descendents of these old aged people often forget that when they were children, they had nobody except their parents to survive. When these parents grow older they have to depend on their children because the parents of these old aged people had already died. So, we have to awake our inner drives for our parents. If they had options, they would never depend on their children.

My intention to do this project is to support the socially neglected elderly people. While doing this project I have visited an old home in Dhaka. Being a documentary Photography I would like to represent their views on our social structure and their expectation from us.

Photography has the visual power to educate by allowing us to enter the lives and experiences of these people. Through my photography I have tried to show their unseen emotion and pain.
