A little time with the poor children...

Today noon I had spend around an hour with the poor children of  "SMSS HINDU MAHILA MANDIRAM (For the welfare of destitute and Orphan Girls)".  They were given a good sadhya (meals) with ada payasam. There were 6 staffs looking after these 110 children which includes 18 kids. And one head mistress who leads them. I was amazed to see many biggie cash teams like many banks and other companies as the donors of this orphanage.

    I was taken to the dining hall of those children. I wished to serve them the food. But i was taken to the room only after serving the food. But for my happiness, as i wished, God gave me a chance to serve the bananas   which was included with sadhya for ada payasam. After a minute all the children came to the room and took their places. They had a 10 seconds prayer before having their food. I was amazed to see the children praying before taking food. Most of us dont pray to God before taking food. Including me. I sat down with the children and i also had the lunch with them. It was really hot inside the dining room. I was fully sweating when i was eating. That was the only difficulty. The food was very homely. I am very happy to know that they serve good homely food. I was thinking about the difficulty of those children who takes food 3 times a day in that heat filled room. The hall has 2 fans at centre which will never breeze at the corners.

   It was a wonderful time spending with them. Their smiles after taking a good sadhya filled my heart. I enquired many things to one of the staff. I was surprised to know that those children were not given any non vegetarian items till then. When i enquired more about it, they said they were not given any non veg items. If someone from outside donate non veg items they move the non veg items completely and serve with veggies.
Most of the children now in the city wont swallow the food without non veg dishes. But the children here will do.

After all the children had taken their food they left the room. Some students were having SSLC exams. Kids were playing around there. The staffs were ready to have their lunch after children's lunch.
 I thanked every staffs for serving the food. And i also complimented about the lunch to the head mistress.

I don't know how many people will read this post in my blog. Whoever reads, have a heart to help these poor children with your small donations. You can also visit here between 8.30am - 5.30pm.

The Same Dialogue...

I am going to tell about dad. Someones dad may match with what i say.

It was an experience of mine i am going to share with you.

It was one Sunday noon. I was coming back home after my class. In front of the Secretariat (Statue, Trivandrum) the signal  was red. So i stopped my bike. I was the first person to reach the signal. As it was Sunday the road was almost empty. I looked through the right rear view mirror of my bike. I saw a transport bus jumping towards right after reaching near my stopped bike. He violated the signal just missing me and my bike. The bus was at a high speed.

I was thinking the fraction of second my life was saved. I looked whether there is any other bus. No.

 I looked at the left rear view mirror and saw a high speeding transport low floor bus jumping after reaching near to my stopped bike. Both drivers thought i would violate the signal and go. I stared at the bus driver. He told me hand signal to go violating the signal as there was no vehicles on other  side to cross the signal. After signal turned green , I went.

 After reaching home, I told this to my mom. My mom said, " Take care my son".

After that i told my dad, " Just escaped Dad", after explaining the whole thing.  Dad stared at me and said

 " Allelum ninakku ichiri speed kooduthalanu..." * and went.

See the dads reaction. I was on road without moving and it was bus driver's mistake. Still he complained me.

Next was on another day. I was riding my bike and i was hit by a fish seller. He came through wrong side and hit me. He was drunken driver. All the pedestrians gathered at the scene. They scolded the fisherman without asking anything. Thanks to those people for that. For reacting and supporting the right. Thats not the matter here. I said this incident to my mom. Mom said, " Oh God !! Save him always..". But do you know what my dad told about this ?? " Allelum ninakku ichiri speed kooduthalanu..."* :-P . The same dialogue... How did I bear it?? I don't know.

* You are usually speed in driving.

I was on the right track, slow speed. Fish seller was drunken and also came along the wrong side. But dad still complaining me.

Ok complaining is bearable. He could have used different dialogue right?? Hehe...

Is this care??? Or is dad usually like this?? Or is he so cool ??? Or is he not bothered?? :-P

Whatever it is, God saved me on both situations.

Thank God.
