The times are changing as the families move away from each other and join the quest to make a comfortable living. They are more transforming into the Nuclear families, which has actually led to a decline in the affinity among the relatives and the Family members.

Formerly, the trades of the Families were based on the traditional vocations and specializations, but now that has all changed and with the better educational resources available for everyone, people are getting the education according to their strengths. They go on to take up professions according to the skills they have developed and honed, this means that they have to wander off far away from their homes and families in search of  better opportunities. The tryst keeps them busy with their work and they have lesser and lesser time to socialize with the people at home and with the relatives.

People in order to make a better living, they are more involved in their professions and the work, though most get compensated fairly, this again leaves a vacuum on account of the family and the community life.

There are several suggestions on the horizon from the various social scientists, who advocate a closer family and the community ties for a better and healthy living. One that can be easily suggested is the organizing parties and picnics with the family and friends. This would in their opinion bring about a change in the daily hectic schedule, but also recreate a bonding that can be nourished only through the personal contacts.

This is rather a paradox that in times of stressful living people and families are drifting apart. In my view people should make every effort to really recreate bonds and relationships that can nurture a peaceful and harmonious living.
