An NRI's(Non Resident Indian) Guide to Caring for Parents from Afar
Lifestyle
Being an NRI (Non Resident Indian) comes with its share of adventure and independence, but the distance from your parents can feel like a constant ache. You miss their warm hugs, the smell of their cooking, and those late-night chats over steaming cups of chai. Here's how you can keep your parents safe, happy, and well-loved, even with miles between you:
Bridging the Distance with Love:
- Video calls are your lifeline: Every morning, have a "chai date" with your parents. Technology may not replace physical presence, but it's powerful.
- Celebrate virtually: Birthdays, festivals, even the first bloom in your garden – share the joys big and small through video calls. Decorate your spaces with similar lights or wear matching outfits for a touch of shared celebration.
Building Their Support Network:
- Tech-savvy seniors: Teach your seniors how to video call, use online apps, or order groceries online. Connecting with the digital world keeps them engaged and combats loneliness.
- Befriend the neighbours: Can they pick up groceries, walk the dog, or just check in on your parents for a friendly chat? Building a local support system provides them with much-needed interaction and a sense of security.

Financial Security, Peace of Mind:
