God's Children

Visiting my own blog after a long time. Life is going on-n-on and nothing special or specific is happening.

Work @ office and @ home keeps me busy. Hardly finds time these days. Waiting to take a break and go somewhere. Hopefully it should happen by the end of this November.

Right now in office, after a long time found some free time and it is quite boring. So I though I will use this time to talk about my visit to an orphanage.

Last Saturday was my B'day. Every year we give food to orphan children @ udhavum karanghal but never visited this place in person. This year decided to spend some time there.

Morning went to a temple and around 12:30 went to the orphanage. Waited for about 30min for the lunch time. Around 1:00 one of the volunteer took us to the lunch hall where the kids were seated. First time in my life seeing orphan children. They were so cute and so good. They said their prayers and thanked us for the food and sang b'day song for me and my dad. I think this is the best blessing I have ever got in my life time.

I am fond of kids esp infants. So the volunteer took me to the infant room. As soon as I entered the room one kid looked at the me and smiled. His name was Praghaladhan. he was choooo...... chweettt..... and very cute kid. He imm came to me and started playing with me. He is just 6 months old.

As we were playing another one (about 1 yrs old) started holding my hand. She wanted me to play with her. My heart felt very bad for the kid. How much they are looking forward for people's love and affection. Don't know how parents have the heart to leave their children in orphanage.

After spending some time with Praghaladhan, it was time for me to leave. When I left him on his cradle, he looked into my eyes and was trying to say something. I think he does not want me to leave him there alone. His smile disappeared. For a sec I though he is going to cry. But the moment I moved out of the room he started playing with his toy. I think he knows this is how his life is going to be.

I wish I could change his life...
