Heal the world

Its been my childhood dream or wish that I always wanted to help the god's children (that's how i would like to address children without parents) or old aged people. I always thought of myself voluntering these helpless people in some way or other to just see them happy. I would imagine myself reading a book to an old woman where at the end of the story she will be happy that she really has someone for her to read her stories that touched her heart. But unfortunately, as usual, my dreams never came true until after marriage. In north, where my hubby's home is, there is this old age home. When i came to know that, I decided that I would help them financially whenever I went to India. Last year (on vacation) when i went (that's the first time i had gone there), i saw many old aged people, many not remembering where they are (with lost memeories), many others wandering here and there, many lying on their cot..... I really felt sorry for them :(.


Then one nun came up and my father-in-law(FIL) introduced us to her and she said to wait in the waiting room, Sister Nirmala will come there (the nun whom my FIL have asked for). Thinking of all the helpless people made my heart melt with sorrow. Sitting right there i was thinking how lucky we are to have everyone with us, parents, in laws, friends, relatives.... There may be many out there where there children must have left them and have gone on with their ways not even once thinking how will their parent survive without them. With all these thoguhts tears filled my eyes. I heard a hello from behind and turned around to see Niramal Sister. It was so graceful to see her. I smiled at her and once again introduction was done. We talked about for sometime and gratefully gave her my donation sum to her. Sister was very happy and I could really see the gratitude in her eyes. I felt like rays of blessings falling from above and i could literally see the smile on god's face :). I felt like my dream came true or atleast i could do atleast this much for these people who needs help. As we were walking out, an old woman was sitting was sitting by the stairs by the next room (as they were in shifting procedure from one room to other). Sister Nirmala went to help her and the old woman was saying something that water was there below (which was her imagination). Sister kept telling there is no water and you can walk. After many refuses, she got up and walked slowly. Meanwhile another nun came across to take her to the other room. Siter Nirmala told us that this woman was found on road side without memory roaming about here and there for days. She was reported by the locals and thats how she was brought here few days back. I literally cursed her kids (if she had any) for leaving her like this.. Maybe i am not doing right thing by cursing, but anger came in me so much i couldnt help much. I was glad atleast my contribution will be of some help to the old woman in some way or other.


We said bye to the nuns and I left tearfully yet happily that i was of some help to these people. On the way back, i felt like my whole life sins have been forgiven by the lord above. I cant explain or show how i felt. It really makes a persons heart weigh lighter for the little help you give to others. So guys please do help each and everyone out there. There are many who really needs your help. Even though not regualrly, occasionally helping will itself will make a great difference. We are all here for a purpose. So do help with watever you can or with whatever you have. Heal this world!!!

God's gift to us :)

Its been almost 2 years of my marriage and we are happily awaiting our little one any time this month :). I always keep thinking how great the god's creation is. My baby is almost on the verge to enter into this world of demons (u can say that literally of the world). I always used to think how peacefuly he/she will be inside the womb with no disturbances or tensions that life has in store for her/him. I really feel sorry for the children that are yet to be born. Whatever we do at the end of the day we force them or teach them to do exactly like what we need them to do (whether good or bad). In short, when grown up, they are almost the replica of us of what we have moulded them or actually tried to make them like us. Literally, we can't blame anyone for this. This is what is been happening for generations. They say humans make mistake. But i think its only humans that make mistake.he he he.. End of the day, whatever it is, its gods gift to each women of giving the ability to give birth to a new life (not that husbands dont have their contribution to this ;) ) and also the word 'mother' given to each women who have given birth, considered to be priceless :). After all without mothers we all would not have been there..in fact not even for this human race :)
